Wiz's vp hand analyzer formatting problem on phone

I'm using a Samsung s24 phone (2340x1080)


2 problems I see:
1) Results not in the same order that I entered the cards
- I quickly glanced at the results and almost held the high lighted cards, which were the last 3 cards.
What stopped me was that the last 3 cards on my vp screen is JKA, which made no sense to hold

2) In the Results, cards are not on the same line
- Makes it look better if it's on the same line

It's a balance between the size of the cards and the size of the font used to display the return value.

Have you tried rotating your screen?
When I do, the cards line up, single file...

That’s helpful advice that I think the OP might already know. I believe his points address 1) design and 2) graphics layout. Point 1 is a design decision. Seeing the cards in chosen order first makes sense, but players rearrange dealt cards to standardize the presentation for analysis. Presenting the hand first in chosen order with an optional “arrange” button would be a good compromise if the designer was inclined to provide that. The solution for addressing point 2 is deep in the HTLM5/CSS3 weeds. Having the display presentation dynamically reformat the page depending on resolution and orientation can be done, but I don’t see it done well very often. The burden of choosing the better presentation is usually placed on the user. In all fairness, the skill set to address the problem is tough to learn and in a different domain than the core programming.

ahh.. my laptop is 1080 vertical by 1920 horizonal.
my phone is 2340 vertical by 1080 horizontal

i was wondering why it was fine on my 1080 laptop.

not going to rotate it. i have auto-rotate off because it's a pain when i use my phone in bed.
so to rotate, i have to shift phone horizontal then press a button. That significantly slows down my hands per hr.

Can't make the results screen a hair wider to accommodate the 5th card?
It looks like you have plenty of room to widen the results area

From the looks of it, not without either reducing the number of digits in the return value or making the value's digits smaller.

There are a number of ways to fix this, including:
(1) Giving the user an option as to how many decimal places the return value should appear
(2) Giving the user an option to hide the return values altogether; in this case, I would replace them with 1, 2, 3, and so on, to make it clear that the top play is the preferred play
(3) Put each return value immediately below each set of hold cards, rather than to the right

(Un)Fortunately, I don't do the formatting changes.
There may be other things that come out looking strange when going from wider-than-tall display to taller-than-wide.

If nothing else, this is the impetus you need to just memorize the strategy for the game you're playing... ;)
