Orbi iOS app needs landscape mode on iPad

Please add landscape mode to the Orbi app in iOS. In addition to routine usage for Orbi network management, landscape support would greatly benefit tech support. I recently used the Orbi app for multiple live chats with NETGEAR tech support, typing on the Smart Keyboard Portfolio (landscape only) while reading the chat turned 90 degrees since the Orbi app only has portrait mode. Landscape support in the Orbi app would have made that much easier.

  • Cutting-edge WiFi system. Check.

    Mobile app for easy system management. Check.

    Landscape mode for mobile app. Uhh....

     

    Is it that they don’t care or don’t know? That’s the question. Either way, it should be updated.

  • I was going to suggest this for the Nighthawk App, but looks like they need to fix them all. I usually just delete iPad Apps that don’t do landscape and probably will with this one as well, forced to use the clunky Web interface that can’t even scroll properly on the iPad. Yes! Landscape for all!!!

  • Plus one. I picked netgear for my refresh because they still have web interfaces. I have no desire to manage a network from a phone. I'd be OK with an iPad, but not with a phone app upsized and stuck in portrait. Have you seen an iPad lately? It's darn near a laptop. It even has iPadOS now. Lets put some effort into supporting it properly.
