XCode Simulator

So when I run my app on the Xcode simulator it looks good. But It is big, so I shrunk the screen down and it all still fit. So I have 2 questions about it. 1. Is that how my app will really look on the iphone and the reason I ask this is because when I was using ibuildapp.com and tested on there simulator it should one way then when I downloaded the app it looked another. The next is when I move the page up and down on the simulator it doesn't stay where I move it to. So there is lots of buttons on one screen so it doesn't fit and you have to scroll down, So i scroll down but then it bounces back up to the top of the page. IS this just cause of the simulator or do I have something wrong in the coding.

To be honest I don't know. It is what ever file I downloaded from here for the app.

The xcode simulator covers different models of iPhone and iPad and does give a very good representation of how the app will look on a real device.

Very good. I tried on all the devices and it looks good. But what about the scrolling When I move the page up it doesn't stay there it goes back to the top of the page. Is this an error in my design or is it something that the simulator does

That isn't something the simulator does, it seems that is the way your app works. Also, please try to use question marks (?), it makes it easier to understand what and where the questions are.

You didn't maybe tell the plugin that scrolling was not allowed? Sorry if that is too obvious but just checking. It's called "prevent scrolling" in the control panel.
