Hi @waqasnu, What you're seeing is the fundamental differences in Android vs. iOS. Each has a different way of drawing the same types of screens and parts of screens. It's also the reason that many of us do different projects for Android and iOS apps, because of the changes you sometimes need to make it look better in one or the other. There's absolutely nothing that buzztouch can do about this...this is all about each platform being different in and of itself. Mark

waquasnu, it is almost impossible to have both platforms looking exactly the same. Both companies have different habits and they even want to have different look and feel. You may try to code the same look in both platforms when going native, but that is completely different solution than Buzztouch. I have a friend whose customer insisted on flipping the pages in Android. Something that iOS supports natively, you must code in Android. It took them 2 full weeks of a top class proffesional to code it. The question is what is this good for. It is always a good idea to manage expectations of your customer. They need to understand in the very beginning that there are differences and it makes no sense to invest extreme funds to make it look exactly the same. Technically it would be possible, but it is not supported. Cheers! Frogman

I 'try' to have mine appear the same, but my primary focus is to have them 'work' the same first. After that, it's like trying to make two different cars the same... You can come close, but they'll never be identical. Especially with so many different sized android screens. Cheers! -- Smug
