User reviews

Not really ideal for iPad

The app is fine but not really suited for the iPad, as it only works in landscape orientations. And while that’s probably how most folks would use it on a phone, I t’s not how most folks- especially those with keyboards- would likely use it on a tablet.

Great app - except for most recent update

iPad app no longer rotates to landscape. Other than that, great functionality.

Clean interface, missing lists

This app has a decent interface and does most things well. I like to make various lists on the EPL website and this seems to be missing that feature. Until that’s added, I’ll probably just bookmark the website in my browser.
