edit: attached the app
when designing an app in the app designer (2020b), the size of the window seems to vary when I run it in differen PCs. I mean the size of the window after running the app.
In some computers part of the app itself is cut and cannot be accessed by the user.
is there a way to fix this?

From the component browser in AppDesigner, select the figure handle and check the Window Appearance & Position properties in the properties inspector.
If the WindowState is set to maximized or fullscreen then the AutoResizeChildren should be checked so that different the app components will maintain their relative positions with monitor sizes.

Update
You also need to make these changes in the startup function. This will allow the app to fully render before resizing the figure.
function startupFcn(app)
%app.UIFigure.WindowState='maximized'; % <--------- remove
app.System_Inert.Items = app.Material_list;
app.System_Reactive.Items = app.Material_list;
app.System_Reactive.Value = 'Water';
drawnow(); pause(.05) % <--------- add
app.UIFigure.WindowState='maximized'; % <--------- add
end

I see what you mean.
I played around with it a bit more and the repositioning is really buggy. For example, when I run the app attached in my comment above the app is maximized by the statup fcn and there are errors in component placement. Then I manually shrink the figure and the components do not resize, they are just cut off. But then when I manually expand the figure by draging a corner, the button resizing starts to take effect. I'd contact tech support and let us know what they say.
