The picture is skewed and doesn’t fill iPad screen

I’ve deleted and redownloaded this twice and it will not open full screen, nor in the normal ratio. It’s skewed in a strange way and black boxes are blocking the necessary parts even if we chose to accept the skewed view. So frustrating because it seems like a game my son would love :(

Please fix scaling on iPad

Big lover of your products. Only downside Fish School doesn’t scale correctly on my son’s iPad and there doesn’t seem to be a way to make it work with the built-in settings.

I’m a developer myself if you pointed me to source code I could help out.

Unplayable on iPads

Had a good experience on iPhone so I installed on my iPad for my child but it’s cropped and stretched and the navigation buttons aren’t visible. There’s no fixing it with changing the orientation either.
