Android Menu hidden - make it permanent

Oskar W 4 weeks ago • updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 4 weeks ago • 1

The android menu is hidden by the app. I need to swipe up from the bottom to access it. This is awkward and often leads to accidental buttons pressed. It would be better if it was permanent, like it is on most apps. At least a setting to turn off "full screen" or what it's called. No need to use that extra centimeter of screen space in this app.

Hi Oskar,

Thanks for reporting that issue. We test quite a bit on Android here (I'm on Android myself) and I have to say, we've never seen this issue before. It's also the first time it's being reported in almost 10 years of Dr. Muscle.


I'm going to leave this open in case other users face the same issue. In the meantime, please review the solutions below. For more help, email us at support@drmuscleapp.com. Dozens of users get an email notification when we post here, so I aim to keep those at a minimum.


Thanks so much for choosing Dr. Muscle,


Carl
