It isn't the complete browser. I have noticed that in most cases, a page that you can see in a browser works fine in a webview, but not in all cases. I don't know why that is, but my observation is that this sometimes happens with complicated pages that have a lot of javascript and css in them. I have also noticed that ios is a bit better at this than Android but neither are perfect. Maybe you could try 'launch external app' instead of the custom url plugin and use the external browser? Sorry I can't be more helpful, I would like to know how to fix this too if it were possible. Alan Comments Hi Bertrand, The custom url plugin opens the page in a webview.

Or you could post it here so we can take a look. Comments Maybe. You should try the link in the standard mobile browser. Or you could post it here so we can take a look.

AlanMac Aspiring developer Posts: 2612 Reg: Mar 05, 2012 Esher, UK 37,120	07/24/15 09:07 AM (8 years ago) I added a custom url screen to my test app for you. The good news is I could make your link work in both IOS and Android if you use http://wp.matele.tv Give that a go. Cheers, Alan Comments I added a custom url screen to my test app for you.
