Makecode Arcade becoming practically impossible to use on Mobile

Arcade Help
1

So, i’ve came to report a few issues with mobile that are really becoming unbearable. Some may be due to me having a large project, but it pales in comparison to some huge projects out there that work just fine on computer.

1- “Stupid Annoying” (AKA Being unable to let go off blocks)

Sometimes (a lot of times, especially when holding down to duplicate a block) you will simply become unable to let go off it, and it requires you to exit and reopen your project, wich can take more than a minute.

2- “Stupider Annoying” (AKA Being unable to let go off the screen)

On a big project you will be scrolling the screen alot to reach certain parts of your code. Sometimes the screen just gets stucks somewhere and you have to close the entire makecode arcade tab, reopen it and enter your project again. Needless to say that is incredibly annoying.

3- Losing connection with the website??

This happens way too often. An error screen appears to state that :

“Oh no! Something went wrong while trying to display this webpage.” (Or something among these lines). This started happening alot recently and i dont know why.

4- Unnatached blocks lag a lot

Now i know blocks lag. And this is the least of my issues. But blocks that aren’t running basically anihilate your framerate for no reason.

If someone has experienced these issues or knows any way to make them any better, please do let me know.

(Sorry for the insane text wall i needed to get this out there)

Id also like to report that makecode arcade takes forever to load projects and the frontpage on mobile. It takes mere seconds on my computer and its not opening at all in my phone with the same projects. Wich sucks because for some reason my biggest project only appears for me to edit on my phone?? Is this something that has happened before?

May I add that when I use mobile to play forum games, it’s unbearable. Whenever I hold something down it tries to magnify it, which is rather annoying.

So, i’d like to update on that

Its gotten worse. Not even 5 seconds within me entering the website, this error appears:

1000060915
10000609151080×2107 90.6 KB

So, thats it. We can change the title of this topic now. Makecode HAS become impossible to use on mobile. (Help)

So, is any other mobile user experiencing this? It would be great to know if this is a problem with the site on mobile or just my device.

I switched to another device and it seemed to work fine. Then i tried to use another browser and it worked! Seems like the issue is somehow with Google???

Yeah also that one is gone. I have a backup but its missing some stuff and i was hoping to not have to update it..
