I recently wanted to check back on Thunkable X when I realized that there are some odd new display fails in the tab navigator (bottom) and also there is a new very basic and bad formated tab bar on top which I never added nor can find any way to remove…?! could not find anything about this issues and they did not exist when I used Thunkable the last time… ![IMG_1334](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/4/241bde0ba0381b7bbec1712b83140e7d05834406.jpeg) ---

You’re using the live testing app Chris. As we’ve discussed several times in the past please install the _actual_ app on your device to see what it really looks like. Live testing is not supposed to replace device-based testing, in the exact same way that wire-framing is no replacement for creating a fully-functioning app, it’s simply another tool you can use to help with development. ---
