Just checked and all works ok (Samsung Galaxy with Firefox and iPad with Safari)

Can anyone confirm that the database is basically unusable on mobile devices, as reported here.Nobody else has reported it, and I can’t reproduce it.
It works fine on my Samsung Galaxy S10e phone.
However, the layout of search results is suboptimal so that you have to do a lot of scrolling. It would be good if the info could be packed more tightly on the screen.
Lelystad EHLE has changed the fuel arrangements. Fuel can now be paid by Shell card, Visa or Mastercard but not by debit card or cash. Difficult to enter this combination.
When the spec for this was discussed, the opinions were basically in two camps:
and it was reckoned that #2 will result in more participation, and more reliable data since a pilot is not likely to spend time establishing all the acceptable payment methods (or types of fuel and their prices, etc) just to get data for our database. It’s a case of “less is more”.

This is what I get on my S10E, in Chrome
Is that what you see, and you think the lines should be closer?
If they were much closer, “clicking” on them would be a bit more tricky.
IIRC, we just display 10 lines of airports, for everyone, because there is no user-specific context, which was deliberate, to avoid storing any potentially private information. With 10 lines displayed, there is almost no scrolling needed.
The above search was just ED* to find a lot of German airports.

No, that’s fine. I’m thinking of the info for a particular airfield.

I was only reacting to Sebastian_H’s insistence that “debit card” and “maestro” are synonymous, not suggesting that many different types should be listed separately. A single choice “debit card” should be OK, and then one can mostly safely assume “it will take all types of debit cards commonly accepted in this European country”. But listing only Maestro (and not “V Pay” and CB), in my opinion, does not make sense.

After reading Peter_Mundy’s comment, I would like to return to the “debit card” question.
I think we agree that with a “debit card”, the bank account is charged directly, in contrast to a “credit card” where you pay a monthly bill.
Debit cards can be cards which requires an online authorisation (e.g. Maestro), but can also be “regular” cards like MasterCard that can, in principle, be used offline.
So saying that payment can be made by “Mastercard” but not “debit card” doesn’t make sense as there are Mastercards which are debit cards.

I’ve just been to the EGKA report and it scrolls from top to bottom in four finger movements. Or in just one if you do a “fast” one. The format I see is this
and sure one could put the Type MTOW etc side by side to some extent, but that would break if somebody enters “Daher/Socata TB20 Trinidad” instead 
One solution would be to force people to select from a list of types but that would involve scrolling through a huuuuuuge long list (which would have to be downloaded to the client initially, unless implemented with ajax which then creates other challenges) and somebody would complain their plane is not in the list.

My bank card/debit card (Maestro) was not acceptable. My Mastercard and Visa were.

I don’t doubt that. But was it unacceptable because it was a debit card or because it was a Maestro? Would a Mastercard or Visa debit card have worked? The only thing you can say for sure was that Maestro wasn’t acceptable.
