App Layout Is Broken on Mobile
Your app looks fine on a desktop browser but when you open it on a phone, the layout is a mess. Text overlaps, buttons are cut off or too small to tap, images overflow, or the whole page requires horizontal scrolling.
Common Causes
- No responsive design — the AI built a fixed-width layout
- Missing viewport meta tag
- CSS grid or flexbox not configured for smaller screens
- Fixed pixel widths instead of responsive units (%, rem, vw)
- Elements positioned with absolute values that break on different screen sizes
How to Fix It
- Test in Chrome DevTools — press F12, then toggle the device toolbar (Ctrl+Shift+M)
- Check that this is in your HTML head: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
- Look for hardcoded pixel widths in CSS and replace with responsive values
- Add media queries for screens smaller than 768px
- Test on at least 3 sizes: phone (375px), tablet (768px), desktop (1200px)

Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
The app looks fine on my laptop. Why is it broken on my phone?
AI tools often generate layouts that look good at one screen size but don't include responsive CSS for other sizes. A developer can add responsive design to make it work on all devices.
Can this be fixed without rebuilding the app?
Usually yes. Adding responsive CSS and adjusting layouts is a targeted fix, not a rebuild.
