Played CoC for a year or two, but lost interest after it was sold to Japanese, then Chinese (or vice versa). Stumbled across SS and enjoy it. Different supplemental/bonus troops monthly. Loot is easily amassed, not the painful monotonous struggle like Clash. Great people. Oh, I play on iPads and iPhone - not many problems. Used to drop out more often (some months back) but no problems now. Find a good active alliance. Youll get all the ingots and onyx you need.
