All devs should make this their 2025 New Years Resolution: Just build an iPadOS specific App Already
Developers, look, some of you have been developing iOS Apps for seventeen years. iPads came to market in 2010, and I acknowledge that allowing iPads to run apps designed only to run on original iOS phones was probably smart to ease and speed adoption of tablets. It also took Apple 9 years to release its own iPad version of iOS. But I no longer understand how any iOS developer could be happy shipping iPad-compatible apps that have not been optimized to utilize the larger screen. Why do I still have a fake phone-sized version of this App a few days before 2025, FIFTEEN YEARS, after there was clearly a need to do some simple UI tweaks to simply have a native app. Please, for the love of god let your New Year’s resolution be spending two weeks making the app look good on my giant 12.9” iPad. I will also continue to quietly hope Apple finally tells you all they no longer support the bandaid temporary fix they implemented before some high school students today were born. How a company like Apple, known for its attention to detail in designs, doesn’t change its policy on this is beyond comprehension.

Response from developer
We are going to pass your comments about the screen and optimization over to our app design team to review. That way we can look for improvements we can make going forward. Thank you again for sharing. - Jonathon@SmartHQ
