App NOT WORKING!!!!!
Ttuboys

Minimalistic app that kinda works

Seems ridiculous to me that in this day and age to have an app that doesn’t conform to the basic protocol and isn’t β€œrotationally aware”. Not everyone uses their iPad in the traditional orientation, and having an app that won’t rotate to conform is disappointing.

But… it does handle the most basic controls for multiple devices.
