Did not like instruction of UI Elements.

For me, I would have liked a video piece in how to layout the UIElements. Not a lengthy worded instruction. I have struggled enough on this course and this just further dents my confidence. I know its hard to cater to all levels but the feedback from me is that it doesn't work. I really want to get this to work; but when you have limited time and I am not a student or come from a developer background. One needs some hand holding. Sorry rant over and I look forward to the rest of the course.

What exactly is your issue? Constraints, sizing, aspect ratios?

All the constraints. I am really struggling with this.

Constraints suck. I know seasoned iOS developers and really intelligent programmers in general who can't figure out constraints and auto-layout altogether. Screenshot what you're seeing. I can't really give any specific advice except to just play around with it.

constraints are HARD. they are SO easy to mess up, one thing out of place can screw up constraints on every item. don't be discouraged, it is NORMAL to hate them, I'm not kidding. if you are bad at constraints, thats fine, pagan makes it look easy. there are so many aspects and little details to possibly overlook which totally throw everything off. don't worry about them. maybe start a project without code thats just setting up a fancy UI to practice.
