iPad OS App? (feddit.de)

Hi, is it planned to make the app fully iPad OS compatible? I mean, that the UI is scaling correctly etc. Right now the app runs as the iPhone version on the iPad.

If you have a Mac you can actually just clone the repository, open the project in Xcode and add iPad as a target.

It works, and some views are taking advantage of the larger display (the settings tab is split screen).

But as the devs stated, it's not really optimized for iPad yet so I can understand why they don't target iPad in their official build yet.

Yeah. Once they build for iPad OS, it’ll open the floodgates on bug reports so I get the “wait for stable” approach. I’ll keep using the web from my iPad for now.

The option to just “float” the iPhone version would be a huge improvement.

iPad user as well, one thing I have noticed is that if you are using the landscape mode and rotate / expand the view using the buttons in the lower left. As soon as you go to a link in a post the view switches back to iPhone portrait mode. I’m sure this is probably an issue with the iPad OS itself but just something to note.

I might give that a later this week, thanks.

Mostly it looks good on the iPad, but on some post the layout seemed to be broken because of huge images or previews
