Yeah, I feel like it's always been a little too cramped for me.

I agree. I got an iPhone 5s and the screen always feels small. If I had an iPhone X like I wanted :roll: it might be better. Maybe idk.

Exactly what part of using Safari and Chrome is the hassle?
Sometimes the formatting is weird and some parts are cut off. Also, it might be more accessible via app than via browser, search, etc.
Which pages are displaying poorly and what browser are you using? Screenshots are helpful too. I'll look into updating the CSS to fix these issues.

I think the main problem rn is how small format the SciOly page? Hopefully, this will be resolved.

Can you describe this in more detail? Which page are you referring to?

For me, it is all the pages. The main page and then all topic pages, etc. My phone goes on to chop off the edges and make it more compact. All the info is still there just it's is more compact and harder to read. I honestly do not think there is a solution to this though.Maybe if I got a new phone...
