Changes: Roblox on mobile

Revision as of 16:09, 16 July 2017

ROBLOX Mobile (coined ROBLOX iOS and ROBLOX Android) is the mobile application version of the game available to iOS devices, Amazon Kindle devices, and the recent Android devices (Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3 or later). The application allows purchasing in-game items from the Catalog and, on the iOS and Android versions, enables access to purchase Android-exclusive/iOS-exclusive items, which are typically paid with Google Play Credit/iTunes money, viewing the player's inventory, friends, groups, and messages, purchasing ROBUX and/or Builders Club memberships with iTunes money, and features a fully-functional 3D client.

Comparison of ROBLOX mobile and desktop versions

IOS screenshot — A texture rendering glitch found on the iOS version, showing car models as two large blocks.

The mobile graphics are very similar to the 2-3 levels on the graphics scale since material textures and dynamic lighting are removed, but still decals, day/night skyboxes and custom skyboxes exist.

The mobile site in PC

Trivia

This section is a trivia section. Please relocate any relevant information into other sections of the article.

When the app first was released, it was rated 9+ in the App Store and E10+ in Google Play (similar to ESRB ratings). It was somewhat raised to 17+ in 2015, then in 2016, this rating was raised to 12+, presumably due to players making inappropriate games which either contain violence or brief nudity.
