It’s a 5-star app with landscape mode. Please sort this ASAP! ### 2/5 — Please Update *2020-09-25, version 1.4* This is normally quite a good app but it’s constantly closing when trying to open it. So maybe an update is required ### 2/5 — Worse than last app. *2020-02-06, version 1.4* This app is just a glorified pdf. Need landscape version ASAP for iPad the former commons papers app, allowed you to read papers in clean format and landscape. ### 5/5 — View *2019-11-25, version 1.4* I am a member of The House of Lords and really like this app - its very convenient, not least because it enables you to carry all documents with you and it saves paper - one niggle, it would be even more convenient if on my iPad it could be viewed in landscape format not just portrait - any chance of this ? ## Frequently asked questions about HousePapers ### What kind of documents can I find in HousePapers?
