I doubt it. Even in the XXIV century they still have issues with android phones.
I'm reading this on my Android phone with no real problems. Though if I recall it's a pain with tablet.
depending on the time of day, but I would say in a nice soft sofa with either a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Not to bright lights, and some appropriate music in the background, I suggest Bach. Wear loose clothes and don't forget to use slippers to keep your feet warm. In the winter, a fireplace can be very nice.

Well, I'm reading this, and replying on an Android tablet -- no trouble here at all. The only annoying aspect of the website is that the Chat section doesn't seem to work properly.

I need technical assistance -- what part of the display do I press to dispense the wine? :-P

Forum works, I know. I check gog forum more on my phone than pc. But having to scroll right and left to read post is kinda annoying. A quality of life improvement on mobile friendly version is very welcome. Or even a bare functioning app is better I think

Chat is broken. Can't see anything but list of contact.

Wine, is an interesting idea

Setting the phone in landscape mode makes reading easier unless you still have to zoom because of poor eyesight. In any case, you'll get used to it after a while; if not, use a magnifying lens to see better. :P What I find most annnoying is the chat & the posting window which sometimes freezes and I can't make a post.

Yeah, its kinda annoying to zoom in it and scroll. Landscape is better when reading but not typing. I really wish there's a mobile client. I wonder how hard to code a decent one. Simply supporting forum and chat would be enough for me

That's coming with the next Witcher 3 DLC.
To me, reading the forums is fine on smartphones and tablets (landscape view, of course). The part I dislike very much is writing, especially if it involves editing, copy&pasting text, adding Youtube links to the message etc... Then again, that is not a GOG specific problem, I hate doing that on any web site with touchy&feely devices with no mouse nor keyboard.

It's actually especially bad on GOG because these forums open a separate window for every quote you try to make, instead of just appending quotes to a textbox like most message boards. Switching tabs to join them together takes forever on a smartphone.
The GOG forum works like a charm. The chat system is a mess, a true gymnastics to choose your contacts, write your PMs or just read them.

Oh god, I forgot about chat. Literally unusable for me.
I hate chat on Android. It won't scroll down to a specific person, there's no reply to button, you can't see the screen while you're typing because of the keyboard, you can't see anything but the last reply... The list of bugs just keeps going.
I only use Chat on my laptop.
Chat is almost unusable, forums are ok as long as you don't need to go into the menus.
