Mobile pages are broken.


The project pages on mobile don't work properly. The project player overflows off the side of the page expanding the page border beyond the intended area.

Also the mystuff button and the sign in button are hidden on the mobile layout. I need to turn on desktop mode every time I want to log in to mobile scratch.

Wrong. Scratch 3.0 optimises a mobile user's experience.

Yeah, I guess 3.0 was “meant” for mobile, but Scratch is really a PC thing. Barely anyone uses mobile for Scratch.

I use Scratch on mobile. and it works fine if you make your screen landscape like a monitor.

There are some other fixes:
  • Flipping your phone/tablet landscape (as mentioned by @VFDan)
  • Zooming out on your browser page
  • Typing in the links on the URL bar in your browser

Thank you for giving me credit. Not a lot of scratchers would do that.

That still doesn't excuse the fact that project pages are still broken.

Side note: your signature makes me feel like you're extremely sensitive about anyone talking about 3.0 in even a remotely negative way. I've seen this viewpoint a lot, the view that all criticism is “HATE” and should be immediately discarded. This is untrue. Constructive criticism is a great way to improve things (like 3.0 for example). By pointing out my issues with Scratch 3.0, Scratch Team can be made aware of them and fix them. That's a GOOD thing.

I actually have no idea who Scratch's target audience is at this point. They make Scratch 3.0 “optimized” for mobile by making the blocks large but also focus towards desktop users by making the blocks so big that only users with a screen size as large as a desktop would be able to have a suitable size workspace that is big enough to fit the new larger blocks. It's all over the place and feels not very well thought through, in my opinion.

Hi! I mostly use mobile nowadays. In order to sign in, etc on the homepage, try tilting your phone sideways. That's what I do

You'd think by now they would have done something. It's been over five moths since I posted this issue and nothing's changed.

Scratch 3.0 wasn't meant for mobile devices (although they still work, sort of) one of the reasons it was created was because of the discontinuation of Adobe Flash, which was used to program 2.0 (Flash isn't discontinued untill 2020 but phones and tablets cant use Flash).

Try turning your mobile device horizontal. The glitch will be fixed.
