How to ensure consistent screen layouts across different devices

Questions about Thunkable

Hi everyone,

I’ve built my app using Thunkable (it’s currently live on the App Store), and I’m looking for advice or best practices to ensure screen layout consistency across different iOS devices — especially smaller ones like the iPhone SE and larger ones like iPads.

I’ve noticed some layout issues, like text getting cut off or buttons overlapping, depending on the screen size. Since I don’t have access to the .ipa file or native build, I’m limited in how I can test — and the Thunkable Live app doesn’t seem to fully reflect the final published version.

So I’m wondering:

  • How do others here handle layout testing across screen sizes?
  • Are there any responsive design tips that have worked well for you in Thunkable?
  • Is there a way to simulate the final published version accurately without manual device testing?

Any suggestions, tools, or strategies would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks so much,
Coco

I’ve encountered a similar issue. Layouts don’t auto scale as you would expect. The workaround I came up with is to detect the screen size and then adjust layouts based on this. It’s a pain and doesn’t adjust correctly for each screen size.
