-Run:
+You can run the executable directly or use the SHADERed.app in the bin folder:
 ```
 ./bin/SHADERed
 ```
+The first time you run the app if you are on a laptop you will need to adjust the UI scale in `Project -> Options -> UI scale` to be somewhere in the 1.5 - 2.0 range on any retina devices.
 
 ### Windows
 1. Install SDL2, GLEW & GLM through your favourite package manager (I recommend vcpkg)
