The short answer

Tap a quick-value button under a field to fill a common value, and drag a slider or type into it to set an exact number.

Quick-value buttons

Some fields have buttons under them that fill common values. They save typing and are a good starting point, especially on a phone where typing numbers takes longer.

  1. Tap a quick-value button under the field.
  2. The field fills with that value and the result updates.
  3. Adjust the number if you need something different.

Sliders

A slider can be dragged, or you can type a number into it. Dragging is fast for rough values and typing is better when you need an exact figure.

  1. Drag the slider to roughly where you want it.
  2. Type into the slider if you need a precise number.
  3. Watch the result, which updates as the value changes.

Not every field has a slider or quick-value buttons. If a field has neither, type the number into it directly.
