I’ve been using iFlyEFB on my iPad Pro and Android tablets for a while now. I’ve just purchased an iPad Mini and see a lot of unused space above and below the app on my Mini. Is there any setting to expand the screen area used?

I’m attaching pics for reference.

Well noted, I think this is fixed in the next version. But will report to dev just to make sure.
 
Thanks, Walter. That will be good. It's not a safety issue, but is a continued annoyance that we've been reporting for several years.
 
My ipad mini does not experience this problem. I suspect the problem resulted from the change in the aspect ratio when Apple removed the hardware button and lengthened the usable display areas with 6th generation mini. The same problem is much much worse on Android tablets runing iFly in landscape orientation: huge black margins on top and bottom of screen (even when the tablet is configures to hide Androids navigation buttons).

The iPad Mini screen utilization issue was resolved in either v13.0 or v13.1. At any rate, you're correct--it's no longer an issue in the current iFly software.

On what specific Android devices are you seeing the screen problem, and on what version of iFly? This is not something I've seen reported before, nor have I personally experienced it on any of my Android devices (phones: Samsung S4/S7+/S21U, tablets: Samsung S2, Samsung S6 , Nexus 7 (2013), Asus Zenpad 3S 10) across dozens of iFly versions.

Screenshots illustrating the problem might also be helpful.
