I usually use my PC for most things and the new screens are okay, improvements could be made but when I switched to my wifes tab2 recently it was impossible. The problems arise that in TAB/Phone mode the screen is not wide enough to see the normal menus options - one can emulate this on a PC by making the screen narrower so I guess the same web screens were used.

In this mode the only way to get to the relevant screens used to be through the option at the bottom right of each page trouble is anything other than dashboard ends up at back the normal account zopa screen not ISA account ones. I guess someone forgot to change those links in the ISA sections or forgot that was how they worked.

On my pc I can use the font increase/decrease options but on my TAB/Phone who knows how one can decrease the font size.

Agile techniques, bad test schedules I guess, cynic that I am ;-)

Not to take away from your comment, but just to say that I'm using Zopa on my Pixel-C tablet in a chrome browser with absolutely no problems.

I'm not sure what you mean by TAB/Phone mode, have never come across this or been prompted for it, but just accessing via a normal browser works fine. The Pixel-C does have a generous screen size though.

Yeah well its a Samsung Galaxy S2 8" Android 7. When I turned it on its side it seemed to work ok. I still had to set the accessibility option to 50% or lower though to get the vertical version to work better.

On my phone though, a Moto g4, I set the accessibility but it didn't make any difference. I'm using chrome and the phone is android 6 but its not a very big screen.

I guess the default sizing on the main page could be reduced a little - on my phone and the tab one cannot seem to reduce the size below the default setting but can increase the size.

I'm not really that concerned except that if it don;t work on smaller screens then what is the point of the design. On my PC screen it works bet but there is still an awful lot of white space as a result of the mobile/tab limitation on the web screens. What happened to old school adjusting on the fly relevant to screen sizing or better just setting a small font size on other than PC's its much easier to increase to the correct size.

That said the only way to use the loanbook report screen effectively is on a PC in my eyes and then it has to be set to 80% or less to get all columns on the screen.
