Text size problem

When I increase the Text size, on the top bar, I cannot see the Settings icon, I have to go into settings on my iPhone and reduce the text size so that all icons show up on the top status bar and I can see the settings gear finally so I can enter into the settings. Otherwise, the text is too small from my old eyes.

Response from developer

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. This should be fixed now with the latest version (1.1.0).

Simple with what you need

The app is a bit erratic, but I can live with that really. What I mean by that is the map jumps around a bit while using. Once you find the direction of the signal, line your phone up with your antenna and touch the Mark Bearing button. Once you have your first bearing you can press the pause button at the top and move the map around and resize it if you want. Get to your new spot and unpause and take another reading. Hopefully they will intersect somewhere so you can get closer and do another one.
