Foldable devices are changing the way users interact with mobile apps.

An app that works perfectly on a standard phone can suddenly show broken layouts, stretched content, awkward navigation, or poor use of space when opened on a foldable screen.

oversized content

poor navigation

unused screen space

broken transitions
