Friends List Cleaning

Hi all! I have over 400 friends and it takes just way too much time when trying to get to a Friend that's lower level. So what's the easiest way to find inactive players to remove them? I tried the GameCenter and it would sort Friends by the last time they logged into the game, but it didn't seem accurate to me. Anyone else find that the case?

Some people don't think it's a big deal cuz they don't realize how long it takes. I used to be the same way. Just so people know what it's like:

Open Friends List for first time after logging in - takes about 10-15 secs. From then on it's: Swipe once and wait about 5-15 seconds for things to load. That swipe will scroll about 4-8 friends. It takes literally like 5 - 10 minutes to get to someone that's level 30ish. It's just a little annoying for me, but I'm sure it's really annoying for the other person waiting to complete a trade.

If you can get the person that you are trading with to open a crate on a boat or harvest a tree so that it needs watering you can access through the "!" menu, which is a lot faster.

Also u can get them to tell u there boat score u can pick them up on the boat leader board providing there in the top 200 of your friends list on boat points just find them in the list click there name an green visit icon pops up on there name click this take u to there farm hope this helps

That's a great idea.

I use my last helped bar and go to the person nearest their level, go to their shop then move up or down through the shops until I get to the person's farm.

(HATE the scrolling, it is awful even after I weaned down to under 200 friends!!)

I do the same thing.

The scrolling never used to be so slow maybe a future fix for supercell
I think it's because of the loading of people's avatars

Great tips you guys! Thanks a lot!

On a side note. So I'm not the only person where the friends list freeze for 5 seconds after each swipe?? Wow, this whole time I thought something was wrong with my phone. I'm thinking about deleting all nbrs and reset. If only there was a way to reach out to everyone who's still playing to re-add me. Majority of my nbrs has abandoned their farms or don't play actively anymore.

Thank you all for the advice for easier scrolling, but I've tried them all and they're still too slow. Except for the boat score idea, I'll have to try to remember that one next time I trade. I've made suggestions in this thread to help make scrolling easier. The ideas are: Level range buttons (such as 1-20, 21-40, etc.) and/or option to turn off avatars in the settings. I hope SC does something about this, otherwise I'm gonna delete like 300 neighbors lol.

I agree that scrolling through my friends list is torture. It seems even worse than it used to be as now with each swipe I have to wait for the avatar to load before I can swipe again. Every once in awhile I am forced to go through my list and delete people that haven't played for awhile. In GC I click on the hayday game, then players. At first the list isn't accurate for the last time they played but if I click the achievements tab, then go back to players it fixes the problem. I am not using the new ISO7 so I still have the old GC.

Another way I have found is soon as hayday opens click on friends list if for example the trade is level 32 swipe along as fast as u can before avatars can load until u reach level 32 u will get there quick none of the names will show only levels then the game will freeze for about 30 sec until it catches u up an loads everything but at least it saves lots of swiping

I play on an iPad and the friends list frequently freezes like that.
