 Here's another thought.
Everyone knows we want the log to go away.
If you could make one small change now, it would take away most of the pain. The change is to allow the log to be hidden, and just put a button in the corner which brings it up when you want to see it. Consider adding a new message counter to it  that tells the player when someone has sent him a chat message. Other than that, we could get rid of that long almost entirely.  Players like me who always use bots would never ever look at this log.

If you want to really hit it out of the park with a small change, consider putting two buttons. The second button would appear only when there is a question that you need to or have the option to answer. Have that button summon a window which shows you the questions and it would be much easier  to see them and click on them. There is no reason why those questions need to be part of the log.
All of this, together with a bare-bones app which simply puts the current website full screen, would be the greatest gift to your users.

Here is my feedback:
My username is scott1. I use an iPad, the medium sized one.
I Hate the log, it wastes space on my small screen.
Please don't ever put a clickable option there. Too hard to click, and surrounded by clutter.
I almost always play bots because real people often quit, or play crazy slowly just to annoy you. Many trolls.
I want offline game as an installed app with good bots.
Thanks for keeping up with new cards.
The UI is ok, but lacks joy. I wish everything was bigger and more animated.
Pinch to zoom really screws things up.
Even if the app just showed the website full screen it would be a big win. So much better.
Here are the answers to your questions:


Here are some features we have on our wishlist; please let me know if you would appreciate/use them:

Yes
10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...

10. Option to hide the log
YES one thousand times. Worst thing about the game is the log and the tiny touch targets of the questions that appear there. I have played hundreds of online games, never once looked at the log. It wastes SO MUCH screen real estate, and it is already hard to read some UI elements. Please get rid of the log.
11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
