Half the screen estate is already taken up by the keyboard. Could the body section of the question asking screen be popped-out/expanded when focused? I can only see one line of text as I am typing questions (about 40 characters). The page neither scrolls nor expands appropriately, and it's a shame to see a textarea smaller than a textbox.

I believe a picture speaks a thousand words:

Currently the best work-around is rotate the phone to use landscape mode:

Something could be done to make the body textarea fit the top in portrait mode, like this:

    @ColeJohnson I'll like to see a feature where the screen expands to fit the content

  • Why is the keyboard so...ugly? Is that just how Android keyboards look? (I have no idea, I'm an iPhone user.)

  • @CodyGray custom SwiftKey keyboard, with custom font - you can do anything to customize an Android =)

This issue seems to be have been resolved in a previous update. The body field now automatically stretched with the input and the app-view is scrollable versus the keyboard resizing it to take up a very small portion of the view. Feel free to re-open this with new screenshots if you think it's still a problem.
