I have built an app in tablet layout that stays in landscape, or so I thought.  It looks great on my laptop screen and great on my iPhone X.  But when my leadership tests it, on an Android (I think), it really looks pretty bad.  Getting more folks to test it out to find out how it looks on other devices, BUT here is my question:  any advice on how to adjust an app to work on most all devices out there?  I need to roll this out to folks who may use different flavors of mobile phone, mobile tablet or desktop/laptop, globally - would you recommend changing the layout to responsive?  I'm a bit afraid to mess up my app doing this, but I have to do something!  Thanks, as always, for all of your help, everyone!

    Start by taking a look at this article on Responsive Design for Power Apps. Basically you need to setup your app so that control placement and size adjusts for the different device types.

    I agree with @Pstork1 - the documention is a great place to start.

    I'd also recommend looking at the great work that @KickingApps has posted here...

    @Anonymous - did you get it figured out?

    Thank you for checking but not yet- I have to address something else before I can look at this.  I did try part of it, and ended up breaking my app so stopped.  But I will come back to this - I need something that will work on all device types globally!
