Troubleshooting Mobile Issues

Common Mobile Issues

Problem: Buttons too small to tap

Solution: Hard refresh browser (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R). Clear browser cache if issue persists.

Problem: Statistics showing 0 or not updating

Solution: Check if you're calling /api/watchlist/ (with trailing slash). Ensure you've added symbols and waited for first scan.

Problem: Search button not working

Solution: Make sure JavaScript is enabled. Try typing symbol and pressing Enter key instead of tapping button.

Problem: Tables not scrolling horizontally

Solution: Swipe left/right on the table itself, not the page background. Ensure you're touching the table area.

Problem: Layout looks broken or cut off

Solution: Rotate device to reset viewport. Disable browser zoom. Check if you're using supported browser (Chrome/Safari).
