Simple QOL fix for Netgear

Why after all these years has Netgear not fixed it’s App to go to Landscape when desired? For many of us that use iPads almost exclusively nothing is more frustrating than having to juggle your iPad and spin it around to be able to read it while working with Netgear’s App.

  • What would you expect the Netgear (Nighthawk or Orbi) 'app' to do when the tablet is moved from portrait to landscape mode?

    • The app would expand to fill the window, becoming much larger, and pushing almost everything down the screen so it can be accessed only by scrolling down the screen?
    • The app would be formatted differently, allowing more items to be displayed across the screen?  i.e. totally rewritten?

    Netgear does offer a bunch of different Apps. Agree, to my knowledge - at least on the Android platforms - there is no landscape support on any of these. 

     

    Your feedback would be better suited to the related App or Product section....
