BUG: Syriac iOS problem!
I hadn't checked syriac on ios for a long time so I was positively surprised to see that all the consonants were connected properly. They weren't last time. So big thanks, I can see my self starting to use my syriac resources on my ipad.
One thing that I noticed (Leiden + the regular Peshitta) was that all the diacritical things like vowels and other dots were placed under the consonants. On desktop vowels are placed on top of the letters.
1) Some vowels overlap the consonants. It makes it hard to see them.
2) While it does not matter to me whether the vowels are on top or under, the dots that mark the pronunciation of some of the letters (bgdkp) + consonant doubling should sometimes be on top of the consonant for example the word king malkaa, there should be a dot on top of the k-letter to mark k-sound not the ch-sound. Now the dot is under the k-letter.

1st picture is desktop. I have highlighted those words where the dot is in the right place (edited)
2nd is regular ios Peshitta. 3rd is ios Leiden, which seems to place the vowels better although still always under.

Over the head of me, anyway! I'm glad we have forum members like Niko for expertise.

I described it last night a bit badly. In the first picture everything is ok in the desktop picture.
The two ios pictures show all the dots and stuff beneath the letters, which is bad sometimes like I explained.
It's like hebrew had lost all the dots inside the letters. You sometimes want them to be inside the letters sometimes you don't.
