I’m having a lot trouble navigating it on Safari for iOS on iPad.

- The top bar disappears behind the navigation bar of Safari and there doesn’t seem to be a way to get it to reappear. - I tried to refresh the page to see if it would re-render and put the bar below the navigation bar, but I can’t pull down to refresh. Something is floating a window inside the window and I’m just pulling that around. - Tried clicking refresh in the nav bar and it didn’t fix the hidden top bar. - It’d be nice to be able to collapse the swagger editor in the reference view. Right now the left navigation is separated from the documentation and request tester on the right by 1/3rd of the screen (that is not being used at all).

appreciate your comment! So sorry to hear this, what iPhone do you have? I have an older iPhone so im not getting this issue.

Going to try to recreate this thought, maybe the page is slightly zoomed in on your device?

Also feel free to email me (marc@scalar.com) if that's easier :)

I’m on iPad, not iPhone. Sorry I can’t provide any feedback other than just some really crappy QA because I don’t do a lot of work with Swagger.

- Top bar is no longer hidden behind nav bar (usually). However, the bottom is cut off because of it. I didn’t even notice it at first, but everything below “Light mode” isn’t visible. It seems like it is fixed if I can scroll in such away that Safari hides the nav bar, but it’s finicky in allowing me to scroll far enough, or scroll on the correct frame, to cause Safari to hide the nav bar. I was able to get it stuck in a state where the top bar was hidden again and I couldn’t scroll to get it back. Refreshing the page made the top bar visible again.

- Pull to Refresh doesn’t work consistently. I can do pull to refresh if I can scroll in such a way the nav bar is hidden, but I can’t get the nav bar to hide itself consistently. I’m not a front end dev, so I’m not sure how much work it would be to fix the rendering of the window. It’s not as big of a deal to me since the top bar (the bar with `Scalar | Register | Sign In` etc.) is now visible.

Here’s a screencap of the first two items: https://file.io/uNQBUTmTTKul (Link will expire after 1 week). Sorry I couldn’t get an example of the top bar getting hidden or pull to refresh working. It was really difficult to reproduce.

- Being able to collapse the `Getting Started`/`Swagger Editor` frame would be nice (or to be able to control whether the viewer on the right is an additional tab next to the editor frame or it’s own distinct pane next to it), but that’s just personal preference. It would be helpful as someone who was consuming someone else’s API to isolate the features/content I need and hide those I don’t.
