Since purchasing my MS Surface Pro 2 tablet a few weeks ago, I have been grappling with the poor presentation from AR Live with the high resolution provide by default in Windows 8.1.

 

After many hours of testing various resolutions & DPI settings I have now been able to settle on a compromised Display setting of 130%. Anything smaller makes all fonts too small to read. If I use the default setting of 150% various input fields overlap which makes the software useless.

 

I would like to suggest with the growing use of mobile devices by businesses, MYOB upgrade AR Live to be able to handle the higher resolution now applying to many applications.  This should also include the ability to magnify any window as needed to be able to read on a tablet. I believe an Upgrade to 8.1 is due in early April which may only exacerbate the issue.

 

"AR Live for use on a Tablet using Windows 8.1 (MS Surface Pro 2)"

Current Status: Done
Last Changed: October 2015

We've made some great improvements to how AccountRight displays on tablets, as well as other high resolution displays in our 2015.4 update. We encourage anyone using a tablet or high resolution laptop to try out 2015.4. You can find out more about this and the other fantastic changes we've made on our AccountRight blog.

First of all I don't think a vote is really necessary, MYOB should already be rolling out a solution already IMO. High resolution tablets / hybrids are hear to stay, so its time to get with it guys or face loosing customers.

 

Also at the rate that Windows 10 is being rolled out, I'd like to see a new MYOB app developed utilising modern UI practices.

I'm sorry to hear that AccountRight is not as intended on the your new device. You might like to take a look at Help Article: Fixing display issues. While it does contain information on workarounds these don't work for an users and devices.
