Two issues happen:

1. When a user clicks in a text box (or any control that requires the user to type in), the screen zooms in for accessibility reasons. However, once the user is done typing, it doesn't zoom out on its own.
2. If your app happens to be responsive with the orientation not locked down, if you happen to change the orientation after the zooming in from issue #1 above, then the screen becomes weird and only covers half of the space available (may be less, not too sure about the percentage here, but you get the point).
