Is there any way to have the top reply button be a bit further away from the
When using the site in a mobile, it is far too easy to press the dislike button when trying to open the quick reply dialog, especially if one has larger fingers.

Even a slight change in the GUI (such as moving the repky button down so the bottom of it is in line with the bottom of the right side top add, or makong it centeted on the page) would make it loads easier for mobile users once we get used to it.

This is something we could consider doing, but it currently would not be a high priority.

Has there been an update to the Gaia mobile app for Android? I ask because it is still breaking the coding on my phone for sending out Private messages, and at times it will not even load me into the actual application anymore X>X


Not yet.

And news on bringing back buying GC through Google Play or was that scrapped for good? Or will it be back with the hopeful update of the Gaia android app?

No update at the moment, but it's something that we're aware of and want to fix in the future.

Gaia Online App for Android is super buggy and hard to use. Is there any plans to fix/update it?

We're definitely aware of some of the issues regarding the Android App and it is something that we do want to fix. We just don't have an eta of when it will happen.

Events are normally not very mobile friendly, will there be anything that mobile users will be able to do during the summer event? Or will the users stuck on mobile be left out like normal?


While this years summer event was not specifically designed for mobile, it will be entirely hosted on it's own page in HTML 5. So if you have a phone with a browser that support html 5 then it should work just fine. For a listing of what is supported on mobile browsers, check out this site.

Your long-defunct text system seems to be making a come back and has been bugging some users. Is this a glitch or intentional? There seems to be no way of turning it off. Even replying "STOP" doesn't work. I hope this isn't another forced announcement feature. This could get ugly if people report it to their cell providers. Are these users being charged for these texts as well?

Camp Kindred lite is supposed to be for mobile devices right?
Well I tried playing it on my kindle, it loaded up to the camp site but when I tried to click any of the buttons, it would just light up and then do nothing. It's kinda frustrating wanting to play when I'm not on my laptop and the lite version doesn't even work on the Kindle Fire...


Booo, that sucks. If you haven't already, please report that here: http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/lake-kindred/lake-kindred-bug-report-thread/t.97454127/

Make sure to follow the format and be as detailed about the system and browser you're using as you can.

I think this falls under Features... sweatdrop

Anyway, will the Google Play cards ever come back as a way to get Gaia cash? That was my main way of getting cash since I don't like using my bank info online. Using the gift card converter is a nice substitute but since you don't get the full amount I see it as a rip off so I don't use it often...

We'd actually love to implement this again! We miss having it too. We're taking a look into what we need to do to fix this, additionally, we're getting users' thoughts on mobile Gaia as a whole, so if you could, check this survey here!

I play Kindred on mobile, due to a lack of a desktop.
Is there anyway to fix the lag when you encounter the tree demon? My game a lot of times will freeze up due to how badly it lags when I encounter tree satan and I have to exit out completely.


o.O what kind of phone?

Items: This may be a tall order or it may not be, but any chance the Astra Item's could be worked on so you don't need flash to view them? I'm using my tablet more and more to use the site and tablets and phones don't allow flash so I'm incapable of seeing the animations unless I'm using my laptop which is on it's last leg and I've no money right now for a new one. You were able to make Kindred animations work with our Avi and I see them just fine so is that possible to make the code similar for Astras?


That would be so awesome.
But it would be something very taxing on our resources.
This is probably something that we will try to do in the future, but it requires completely revamping a lot of things.

Could we possibly get the animations turned off by default on the lite version? The animations take up so much time and cause lag that I think should be eliminated from the version that is meant to be played on mobile devices.


This question has been asked, and I can see if it is possible, but as of right now it isn't possible.

Is it true that the reason President Diedrich accused us of lying was that an overwhelmingly large percentage of Gaia users did NOT want a feature like Geemoji but either mistakenly thought we really did want a useless overpriced not readily available for all users feature or was somehow convinced aka brainwashed to believe that we did want when we absolutely emotion_donotwant

Our survey results showed that 70% of respondents were very interested in a Gaia keyboard app, we understood the passion from the Gaians for something like this and it resonated with us to fuel the desire to work on Geemoji! We’re excited to continue showcasing the amazing art from our artists.

Will you ever make an actual app for Lake Kindred?

It's kind of hard to play with a phone that has a semi-small screen when 1/4th of the screen is taken by the search bar on the web app.

It would be really cool if you guys did an app for Lake Kindred which is more user-friendly and phone-friendly(?).

I have an iPhone 5.


At the moment we are not working on one, but we may in the future! <3

Has a winner been determined for the Geemoji promotion? It was "redone" once, but it'd be nice to know whether or not staff is doing something with the second iteration. Especially since it involved more personal info than a on-site contest would
