Screen Size real estate.?

Am I missing something? Is there a way to get rid of some of the screen stuff that appears on my IOS screen?
Would be great to have options, like only a PERFORMANCE MODE OR a only start play button and song title on my screen, all the other stuff takes up so my of my screen size. I have attached a sample.

logoclick I like your logic👍
Not everyone needs everything , by having a very customisable interface for live performing would really make the software super friendly for everyone, unfortunately that’s probably very hard to create I assume.
As a right handed person I would like my play button on bottom right corner so I never block the screen , having the song name information on bottom would also not bother me at all I rather have the lyrics higher up on my iPhone , a swipe on lyrics to right gets me new song selection , a swipe up or down on lyrics only scrolls one screen worth of lyrics data making it fool proof to run manually and so on and on, these things make the software very simple and easy because if you don’t need the complexity and time wasting of full out control of everything automatically which then locks you in to a preset way of performing it would be nice to be able to have it customisable.
I do hope ST4 is heading that way.
I also think more feedback is needed from different type of users so the new ST doesn’t focus on things that matter to fewer people that give more feedback.
I know I give a lot of feedback, but I try to do it not just from my user perspective, I try to make sure it’s simple and logical that saves us all TIME.

logoclick One of the other things I didn't appreciate at first is the difference in display of the Host device versus a Client device.

Your BEFORE screenshot is the classic view on the Host device running ST3.
If you Host a session (Ref: https://stagetraxx.com/user-guide/network-sessions/) on that Host device and connect a 2nd device to that session, then the Client device sees something more similar to your AFTER screenshot.

So, that is one potential quick workaround.
Yes, agreed in advance, not overly efficient if you are a Solo/Duo musician AND has the limitation of no remote control capabilities (coming in ST4) so you'd need to literally have both devices in front of you.

I do agree with the idea of having some alternative View modes on the Host device, or ability to hide more elements, and as @Damir raised, the ability to have key elements configurable to 'switch sides' of the screen to better suit left-handed/right-handed (or just which side of you the device sits if not in front) setups on the Host device.

It's always complicated to meet most of the requirements. Some folks need a lot of ui elements always on the screen and some would like to only see the lyrics. Hard to make both happy. It is always a middle ground.

It would just be cool to have a switch/toggle setting to go from Stage (Live Performance Mode) to standard. I use my iphone and screen space is very small and taken up real estate by those little things.
