# Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the "Piggy Bank"?
A: This feature gives you rewards such as crystals  and Tankoins  and the amount increase in proportion to the amount you played in MM battles on mobile. The piggy bank gives you max rewards when it gets 100% filled up. You then need to purchase it with real money to claim those rewards. More information could be find here Wiki:Piggy Bank.

Q: Is Tanki Online available on IOS (Apple devices and iPhone)?
A: No, and no timing for its implementation has been shared so far. However, it is in the development pipeline. More information here (livestream October 2020).

Q: Why I can't find Tanki Online application on Google Play?
A: TO Mobile is available almost worldwide, but you might be in one of the unlucky countries. Or your Android device does not meet the minimum system requirements, so check if your device meet the minimum requirement. Try this link: Get Tanki Online Mobile here. 

Q: I have Android KitKat (4.4 and above), why does Google Play says "Device not supported"?
Android KitKat (version 4.4) is not enough to run TO Mobile, you need at least Android "Lollipop" (version 5.0) and above Android "Marshmallow" (v 6.0), Android "Nougat" (v 7.1), Android "Oreo" (v 8.1), Android "Pie" (v 9.0) & Android 10 Q...

A: There is two options available in the settings. 

Q: I can't find Pro-battle list?

Q: Why the shop is so expensive on the mobile?
A: Google play takes 30% of fees per transaction, extra cost that Tanki added on top of the standard cost from the web shop.

Now that Tankoins have been implemented, buy Tankoins on HTML5 or the Client, then use them on the mobile version.
 
Q: Does Mobile players play with PC players?
A: Yes both play together in the same battles.

Q: I found a bug in the mobile version of the game, where can I report it?

Very cool!

[loginci 877]

I taught Tanki to my cousin in 2015 but he didn't like it and he left. 2-3 days ago, he said that he liked the mobile version and he wants to play with me. I mean, it seems like it's not boring for starters. I do think that why they like the mobile version is mobile features. The ability of getting goods by videos etc.

 

Well, I have to say that I didn't actually like it and thought no one would ever like it, but I wasn't right.

[wild001 786]

I found titan/magnum is best combo for mobile,

 

since the turret can't turn, and the tank move more stable, easy to drive and shoot in mobile, I used to got 1st place in winning team with that combo on mobile.

[The-Operator219 1,929]

Feels like Gauss was made specifically for this. The aiming highlight thing helps you pull off some sneaky charged shots and really wreak havoc on people with one pixel outside of cover. Also the Parade of Beginners was nice, I got the animated paint and now I look fabulous.

:excl: NEW - Mobile Patch Update - Released 2nd July 2019

- Changes in controls

- Changes in settings

- Changes in aiming

[Okami 3,041]

Pretty good once you learn to use it. The issue I have is that turning the turret is harder than it needs to be.

Cry baby.  :ph34r: 

It is easier if you always played on mobile, plus you have no requirement to activate supplies.

Special Halloween map is available from the main page (not in the Play menu list).

 

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

Yeah, I think I'll just play on mobile with my low ranked accounts only.

[HRT-219 14]

Honestly the controls aren't terrible if you don't play something extremely intense like Wasp-Smoky. Most turrets are at least usable in the general sense, if harder to utilize effectively in special moves. Vulcan is torture to play though. Unless you camp one chokepoint it's impossible to track targets.

Pretty easy to play Gauss, as long as you're mostly sniping.

[r_Given6 859]

Idk why the default settings after downloading have "reverse camera while moving backwards" and "hull follows stick direction" enabled. Those are just crappy controls. Without them, the tank moves really smoothly.

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

So whenever I drive backwards to the left, the tank goes to the right and when I want it to go to the right, it goes to the left. Is there a fix so I can make it go left when I want to turn left or right when I want it to turn right while going backwards?

You may have those enabled. ^

That guy, even with big fingers, has no issue playing JUG with the mobile command.

There are a lot of topics, where you can add your ideas, list your bugs etc. about the HTML version of tanki online. So i decided to create a mobile version discussion, where you can help other mobile users, add your ideas, or just simply discuss this version.

[mjmj5558 2,346]

Here are some features, that should be added to the mobile version:

1 hour ago, mjmj5558 said:

 

Well, i only use the mobile version for playing the game, and it's great, but it need some improvements. I hope maf will send theese for developers, since it looks like they completely forgot to improve the app.

- communication: i can't communicate with other players and this is terrible: i canvt help them, talk with my friends, or just talk about the battle. Battle chat need to be added ASAP.

-PRO battles: i don't want to make a spolier of my idea i will suggest soon, but i cann say it would be great if developers add them

-some user-friendly feautures: there are great feautes in the HTML version of the game, such like marking your favourite paint, etc. Why don't developers migrate theese to the mobile version?

-Settings: sadly, really small amount of settings are aviable on mobile. All of the general settings should be added, and a costumsizable hud is much needed.

It would be also good if i can acess my settings in a battle, so i can edit them easily, to make them the best for me.

And finally, my favourite turret shaft. Over or undershooting is so easy, so there should be some new shaft mechanism on mobile (i suggested one some weeks ago), and LC turning speed feels so slow, so that should be fixed.

 

[TheCongoSpider 8,942]

The shoot button needs to be made bigger or have the option to. A lot of times I press just to the left of it and notice that I'm not shooting at all and then I die. I use the largest combat interface possible but it always looks like it shrinks when I play.
