worth playing on slower devices?

With all the crashing I've only accumulated about 30m of play time. Nevertheless, I'm having a lot of fun! I've never been able to afford a console or anything like that, but I've definitely heard about fallout. When Shelter came out I jumped at the chance to play! I enjoy the overall atmosphere of the game and I think it sort of gives me an idea of what the fallout series is about. Plus I think the art is absolutely adorable!


However... I have a very cheap/low-end phone. Other than the mega battery drain, I'm experiencing tons of crashing and a little lag here and there. My worry is that, when the kinks are worked out of the Android version, I'll still experience issues due to my low performance device. I'd also like to buy a Mr.handy (with the money I've earned from Google rewards) and maybe a few other things. But I don't want to put my little bit of savings into the game only to find out it stops running.


I know the game has been out on iOS for some time now. I'm wondering if anyone else who played during the early stages of release can share their experience. For instance, do you consider your device to be low or high performance? After initial bug fixing, were you still encountering issues with playback? Or what about people who play regardless of the issues, have you lost anything?


Overall, what I'm asking is, do you think Shelter is worth playing and/or spending on even if you have a slower device?


Thanks!

No it isn't worth your time on any device. I play on an iPad, the game is a buggy piece of garbage that crashes every 2 or 3 minutes.
