Thanks, you're right, and that's exactly the problem. The dial sat near the top and the newest line of dialogue landed about a third of the screen lower, so you had to look back and forth for the whole call.
I've moved the dialogue box to sit right under the dial, with the signal meter below it, so the needle and the line you're reading are now close together. Checked on desktop and on 390 px and 320 px phones.
I've left the jam build alone while voting is open, because the rules don't say whether updates are allowed during voting. The fixed version is live now at https://smokey-ledger.pages.dev/play/last-caller/ and it'll replace the itch build once voting closes on the 28th.
