iOS Apps are sometimes versatile enough to adapt to all iOS devices, other times not. The Wise Pilgrim Apps are among the latter. They are written for the Small Screen, i.e. the iPod and iPhone. That's why when you launch them on an iPad or iPad Mini they occupy about 1/4 of the screen real estate, but punching the x2 button makes them go full screen. As previously noted, the text and graphics are a bit rough at x2, but that's the price you pay for zooming an App built for the Small Screen. Some Apps are equally at home on larger (iPad, iPad Mini) and smaller (iPod, iPhone) screens. It's all in the coding. Also, some vendors write two different versions of an App, one for the Big Screen, and one for the Small Screen. For example, Skype has an iPad/iPad Mini version separate from their iPhone/iPod version. I'm happy to support someone who has taken the time to walk the walk then compile usable information. Perhaps he may tweak his future code to work equally well on all devices, but until then it's all quite serviceable. 

Buen Camino,
