  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

When viewing the site on a tablet or phone in landscape mode to get the desktop view of the budget, there are many areas which require a mouse hover to access. When using a tablet to maintain my budget, it is impossible to "hover" the mouse over an item because I have no mouse. Please make these areas mobile device friendly by making them a click event so we can tap the button to get to the item. I get that having things pop up is cool and all, but it makes it harder to access. This is compounded by the fact that these hover item buttons are hidden until you hover over them, so you need to know where they are to use them. Some items are only accessible via hover, such as goal status, rendering these items completely inaccessible on a mobile device.

It is important to remember that there are many people who no longer own a PC or laptop. Many people are 100% mobile with either just a mobile device or in combination with a tablet. All aspects of the site should be accessible from these mobile devices as easily as from a desktop.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Detect whether or not the user is using a mobile browser and show all hidden hover buttons by default when using the landscape view in this mode. If an item is a popup such as when you hover over the balance to see the goal status, add a button to access this popup. If the user is using a PC, the current behavior should be used.
