UI scaling on android

I'm 2 days into the game now. I'll make my comments in different topics.

I find the intelligence report and the specialist tab a little too little on my Nexus 4. It is usable and readable, but you have to concentrate a bit. I think this isn't intended as by kooking at screenshots of the app on the google play, those tabs fill up all the screen.
I think it was primarly coded for iphone, am I right ?

I'm using the Nexus 5 and the Intel and Specialists tab probably cover about 80% of my screen.

Could you post a screenshot of your device, so that the devs can check if anything looks weird?

Screenshotting can usually be done by keeping Power + Volume Down pressed at the same time for a few seconds. Then you can attach the image to your post as an attachment.

It's probably best to take a screenshot of the Intelligence tab, since all that info (except for possible funding) is public anyway. There'll just be part of the map visible.
An alternative would be to send it through e-mail, there's a button to send e-mail to the devs inside the app.

Here it is. Nothing to sensible to disclose here.

As I said, it's readable, but keep in mind this screen is 4.7". So this unused space would be better filled as it is on the iphone screenshots. I guess it's not responsive but fixed.

Thanks, your screens look similar to mine.

I wonder if the screenshots on the website are outdated, because those in iTunes look similar to yours and mine.

Doesn't change that the tabs could perfectly fill the screen, the 20% that's not covered by the tab isn't that useful. (Except for the visual presentation suggesting that the tab is an overlay on the map.)
