Puzzles on a mobile phone

Am I alone to almost never check OGS puzzles on my mobile phone?
I became interested by @Atorrante recent topic but as soon as I tried, I just gave up…
I need aiming then zooming then it reset then I forgot the meaning of the buttons then…

So uncomfortable.

No, you’re not alone, I also tend to avoid them for the reasons you have mentioned.

Yeah it’s pretty awful on my small iPhone

I mean it’s slightly better in landscape mode but completely unusable in portrait and even the board/stones are super low res.

I feel like a zen mode for puzzles is needed for mobile (and maybe for browser if popular?)

Yes, landscape is the not-perfect answer.

So I had heard that the puzzle layouts are better in at least some cases.

For me with the old iPhoneSE while before I could kind of use the puzzles in landscape mode, now I have no hope of using them at all.

Portrait mode

Landscape mode

I can’t seem to scroll up to the puzzle at all.

Someone fixed the display recently, thanks to whoever it was :slight_smile:

It’s pretty perfect now in portrait mode!
