Fix for this is adding the following css (found on bootstraps github issues)

    @media (max-width: 480px) {

        .modal {
            height: 500px; /* Set a default max height of the modal (adjusted later)*/
            position: fixed; /* Display modal in the centre of your screen */
            overflow-y: scroll; /*  Ensure that the modal is scroll-able */
            -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch; /* Avoid having to use 2 finger scroll on iOS    */
        }
        .modal.fade.in{
            top: 5px; /* Use more screen real estate */
        }
        .modal-body{
            /* Increase the max height of the modal body to try & avoid both it,
             * and the modal container having scroll bars which results in odd behavior */ 
            max-height: 2400px; 
        }   
    }

    /* Now adjust the height so it handles various screen sizes & orientations */
    /* You could make this as granular as you like, or have it more granular at common screen sizes
     * but it should start at the height we set on .modal (i.e. 500px) & work down */
    @media (max-width: 480px) and (max-height: 500px){.modal{ height: 450px}}
    @media (max-width: 480px) and (max-height: 450px){.modal{ height: 400px}}
    @media (max-width: 480px) and (max-height: 400px){.modal{ height: 350px}}
    @media (max-width: 480px) and (max-height: 350px){.modal{ height: 300px}}
    @media (max-width: 480px) and (max-height: 300px){.modal{ height: 250px}}
    @media (max-width: 480px) and (max-height: 250px){.modal{ height: 200px}}
    @media (max-width: 480px) and (max-height: 200px){.modal{ height: 150px}}
