just wondering what aspect ratio is the best for AW so it fits the screen the best.
 
4:5 is an exact fit.

If you use the Photos app on your phone to crop the pic, the 4:5 option won't show until you select a portrait-like "taller than wide" area -- it'll be 5:4 instead. You don't have to crop it once and then crop again -- just drag the corners of the crop area so it becomes tall, then tap the aspect ratio presets button.

I'll upload screenshots in a minute -

The aspect ratios given when the original is a wide photo:

Select an area taller than it is wide (doesn't have to be exact, just make it tall):

…and you can choose 4:5 for the aspect ratio:

Drag and zoom to taste, then crop.
