I saw the blog and picked up my iPod that was sitting in-front of me. Here are some of the things I found:
-I tried just typing www.roblox.com, and unlike most sites that have mobile, it didn't automatically direct me. Might want to add that feature.
-I went to my messages and clicked the 'trades tab' link; as someone sent me a trade request; and noticed that you can't access that link through the site. Maybe through an alternative source you can, but the link will not open through the mobile site.
-Went to a friend's profile on the site. Can't view their stuff of their places. Might want to add that feature.
-You are able to send builderman a message (not sure if it sends through, but you should find some way to disable this or create a mobile builderman help page)
-Maybe add some more features to searching the catalog by price range (by tickets, robux, price, etc.)
-Forums might be a thing to look into.
-Blog link possibly?
-Add some type of homepage to make the mobile site more attractive to newcomers (as opposed to just the log-in screen.
Can't find any noticeable bugs. These are my suggestions. If you have more suggestions or find bugs for the iPod Touch, post them here. |

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback.
We will definitely continue adding more mobile features!

Update --
For registering a new account, there's a bar to fill in. There's no telling what format you want the birthdate on the register page. Add a dropdown menu for month, day, and year. |

You guys might want to look into adding some group-related searches and ability to view group walls. |

@Kildato: We're looking into basically all of your suggestions for the near future. Good to hear we're on the right track! |

I'll keep looking and thinking about helpful features, but others should post here about the mobile site on the iPod Touch also. |

Comparing this to facebook's mobile site (which I'm guessing some of which was graphically inspiring to roblox's), they have many connections between the app and the mobile site. You should try to merge roblox's app with the mobile site with features such as buying robux and bc. Or even add onto the app to adjust it to the mobile site. You could also try to advertise the app on the mobile site.
The reason I'd look forward to a better app is because apps run much smoother than the iPod touch's safari. Often safari can crash, as where apps almost never crash. |

Add 'report abuse' buttons to people, places, models, shirts, pants, decals, and messages. |

Changing your character would be a nice feature, but if you implement it, it's going to be annoying if you have to go page upon page scrolling through hats or gear, so a nice 'swipe' across the screen would be awesome. |

I support the features OP mentioned. A forum feature on mobile site would be great too.
I liked the idea of mobile site. The site load faster, I can view contents without having to zoom in the page. I can access the pages much easier.
The mobile site works fine on my iPod Touch 4, original iPad, iPhone 4S (All 32gb, iOS 5.1) and my Android Phone (Android 2.3). The mobile doesn't work well in Opera Mini, works fine in Safari, Chrome, and Skyfire.
@Devs: Keep adding more features! c:
@OP: Yes, Safari crash a lot, it crashed 3 times already just by typing this reply... |

@Kildato, what device are you using where you just get an empty text box for birthday? On iOS and android it's a date picker control. |
|
|
@Jheyho you have a really old iDevice if it is crashing this much.
@Vlad Windows Phones have the dropdown date picker.
@OP Nice list, usually I would post something to redirect you to what not to post but, you are the only one so far that actually has written a genuinely nice post. Keep it up :D! |

-I tried just typing www.roblox.com, and unlike most sites that have mobile, it didn't automatically direct me. Might want to add that feature.
-Was pointed out, it will soon be an OPTION.
-I went to my messages and clicked the 'trades tab' link; as someone sent me a trade request; and noticed that you can't access that link through the site. Maybe through an alternative source you can, but the link will not open through the mobile site.
-Site has not yet been configured for that.
-Went to a friend's profile on the site. Can't view their stuff of their places. Might want to add that feature.
-Good suggestion, but, not a priority yet.
-You are able to send builderman a message (not sure if it sends through, but you should find some way to disable this or create a mobile builderman help page)
-I personally tested that; the message is NEVER delivered. Good news there.
-Forums might be a thing to look into.
That is the most recommended thing ever, that will probably be implemented in a few months. |

People may want to have ROBLOX look like it does right now, so they can still go to roblox.com.
Other people may want to use both m.roblox.com and roblox.com, so they wouldn't automatically be directed to m.roblox.com |

@Guarranteed
i have an ipod touch 4 (32g), running iOS 5.1
bought it in january, brand new
safari doesnt crash much on my iphone 4s
probably too much apps installed, i also have a large music library
i only have a few gb's left |
|
|
@Jhey I have heard of iPhones crashing when they get too full (even with 2GB left.). I have not experienced this myself because to be honest I just am on a lot of Tech Fprums and sites, I am actually an Android Tablet and Windows Phone fan. |

Safari crashes once in a while, if I am multi tasking |
