Per @kathy-phet's request in phetsims/qa#295 I am making issues in each published sim repo detailing the pointer areas and usability of sims on phone sized screens. Done on an iPhone 7 iOS 12 device.

Potential Difficulties Noticed:

  • Pencil and erase button on the equipotential tool are hard to use

Screenshots:

These buttons are both flavors of RectangularPushButton whose superclass is RectangularButtonView which doesn't currently have support for asymmetric pointer area dilation, see phetsims/sun#500.

We could symmetrically dilate the touch areas a bit, as shown in green.

Not sure if this is supported without first addressing phetsims/sun#500, but we could add a bit of extra vertical dilation too.
