Poor use of vertical screen real estate on small devices about android-galaxyzoo HOT 2 OPEN

Maybe we can switch to a full screen mode, at least. I don't know if we would then still see the title bar (and its menu), which we need.

We could also look at reducing the percentage size of the button images on smaller devices.

I guess that the title bar sizes are standard, but maybe you could compare it to similar apps on your device.

Full-screen mode plus re-designed buttons, plus re-thinking the text message would probably be enough on this device.

For the banner, you're right -- it is standard on Android (nothing to do with my device I think).

Let me point out that as it stands, the "G" in that banner is often bigger than the object the user is supposed to be intepreting.

So I suggest that you make the logo a bit smaller, and use the banner for something toward the goal of the app. For example: the instruction text sometimes takes several lines, and this is part of the real-estate problem. The instruction text has titles, such as "Shape", "Disk", that are put on a separate line. How about putting the instruction title in the banner? That would save a whole line, and make better use of screen real estate.

Hey -- are you telling me you don't have an emulator there for a 4" screen device?

If I were you, I would also strive for 3.5" screen devices. They still exist (and I and a lot of other people would buy them if they still made them.)
