Hi abrownleo,
My apologies if you are having issues with the Mobile Joomla! basic version. To better assist you, it would be great if I can actually see the issue. Is it possible if you can go here
www.techsmith.com/download/jing/ and download Jing, record you screen, show the issue that you are experiencing and reply with the URL of the recorded video of your screen.
Using such technology will allow us to properly identify the issue and look for a solution to it.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks.
