    I was playing alt this morning and a player from the other team apologized for a bad shot because she has no mouse on her Ipad.Now the 3 other players are on Pc's so I told her it wasnt possible for crossplatform and she swears she is on a Ipad.Then I notice she has a custom avatar and I said thats not possible on mobile play but I get the answer my brother set it up.

    The only way I as a Pc player can play a mobile player is if I use the emulator software but I am still playing from a Pc.

    Am I wrong or something change recently or are they just lying for some reason?

    I don't think you can call from an iPad, can you? I don't think iPad's are mobile versions of the game.

    Although not easy you can play the web version on a mobile device by using what is called a flash browser like Photon or Puffin but it is not the mobile version just playing the web version on a mobile device.

    I remember Faterson playing on an iPad when they first came out sometime back around 2010, well before the WGT mobile app came to being.

    Guess I stand corrected,You can use the Nox app on your pc/mac and play against other mobile players which actually works very good which I have had for awhile.You can also use the Puffin app on your mobile device to play Wgtagainst Pc  web based game although Puffin ran like Chit and my 2 year old Ipad touch.

    It ran awful on my 6 month old Lenovo Android tablet as well.Never saw such a jumpy meter.

    Well I just bought a new tablet and thought..

    " I know, I'll give WGT a try on it"

    Then I thought.... ( don't laugh ) ;-)

    " It's got no buttons or mouse ( obviously)" It's touch screen..

    So the question is...How the hell will I click / shoot ??

    The same way you would on a phone-dragging and clicking on the screen with your finger.
