if it’s the android app, I’m not surprised. I tried it a few times and the game is just not made for that kind of interface.

It has a virtual joystick for easier movement and keyboard shortcuts so that you dont have to open the keyboard everytime you want to press something.  
But when i introduced this game to my friends they told me it looks so complicated(they basically given up without even playing cata).

The store versions are not currently maintained, the only maintained mobile OS version is the android version in a dropbox folder in the ‘android version’ thread.
