None of my devices is compatible with this app. Good job,EA 💢 [sarcasm]It´s ur own damn fault for not having the most newest, shiniest, hipsterest, epeenerest, androidest and appleest smartphone.[/sarcasm] Welcome to the new world, where companies no longer need to defend their terrible business practices because some idiot on the internet is doing it for them... This.

So why exactly is my smartphone, which is only 8 months old, incompatible with the Apex HQ app? Why would a catalog app even need certain specifications in the first place?
(Sigh) You really know how to make me feel good about my preorder, don't you EA?
EDIT: I went back into the app screen on Google Play and it states that the app cannot be installed for any of my devices in my country. I suppose this means the app has not been officially released or activated in the US, despite it appearing in the store. Why even make the app visible before its launch in that case?

Speaking strictly as a developer, I don't get why not just a website. Making a mobile website is easy and you only have to take into consideration screen size and layout. Mobile apps, while code reuse is at an all time high between devices, it's still a lot of extra work for different devices. Kind of smells like they want to datamine stuff from your phone...
Also the app is apparently just as buggy as the rest of the game because it's been pulled from the store at the moment. I'm genuinely worried about every angle of this franchise because everything so far has been pretty poor and the amount of obvious bugs is disconcerting...

I don't really mind it being on mobile. It's not like everybody doesn't have a cell phone nowadays. Not everyone has a smartphone. That's a pretty elitist mindset. I still have an LG cosmos from about 6 years ago. Could have bought a fancy smartphone or accepted a higher monthly fee but probably would not have the ps4. I don't even have electricity. Are these fascist sonuva bitches going to chisel my ranking on a stone tablet or is someone going to lose an eyeball?

I was able to download it. It has a 75% chance of crashing with any form of input on my Nexus 6.
Notifications were standard and with constant notifications of friends playing and no way to turn them off, it was promptly uninstalled.

my android is the cheapy non name brand kind, can't even run hearthstone on it and apex hq works surprisingly fine on it, it was indeed a surprise because this morning frustrated it hadn't released yet I ran it on an android emulator on my laptop and it would crash at everything that wasn't strike teams, but now i'm quite happily stacking up some boxes for SP on the 23rd

It's launching on 20th March Worldwide. Looks like it will be much more user-friendly and will have a lot of cool new features. LinkIt will be mobile only though, unlike of n7hq. They're idiots.

Using APEX HQ on iOS at the moment, seems to be working just fine. Question, though, when looking at your loadout, some of the weapons and mods appear to have a little exclamation mark in a circle in the top right hand corner, and I can't for the life of me work out why?

Welcome to the new world, where companies no longer need to defend their terrible business practices because some idiot on the internet is doing it for them... That. My phone can run it perfectly. But i despise using my phone for anything else then ... well phone and maybe once a day to text something to someone. So instead of using the APP on the million computers around me ( home, office - hell soon i will probably have one in the toilet) i have to go struggle whit my fat fingers on a device whit tiny little monitor. GG right there. Best part ? That comes from company that started thanks to the PC. Funny world we live in.

Im currently running a few strike team missions on the app before the game comes out. I really like that I can manage my teams away from console.
I do think its ridiculous that there isnt a PC version or a web page for the app for when you are not on the game. Perhaps theres an android emulator for PC you could sideload the app with?

i dont understand the fuss about the app. i love the fact that it's an app and not a website. in this day and age, if you're someone who can afford to buy the latest console and the latest games for $60 a pop, then you should be able to affor a cheap smartphone. no one said it needs to be a galaxy s7 edge Either your trolling needs some more subtlety or your sarcasm needs some more cleverness. either your granddaughter had a colonoscopy or you're riding blindfolded on a motorcycle.

Welcome to the new world, where companies no longer need to defend their terrible business practices because some idiot on the internet is doing it for them... It really was a sight to see. The mindset and rationale is interesting. They can't see past their own nose and are completely oblivious to it. I have decided that in the future I don't care to see anymore, but it was pretty spectacular while it lasted.

So for people who can barely afford game consoles, who carefully arrange their finances to get them because they enrich their lives, there should be punishment in the form of an unnecessary restriction?
