Landscape mode for iPad/Tablets

in Pokémon TCG Live Bugs & Feedback #1

I just wanted to provide the feedback that having to play Pokemon Trading Card Game Live in portrait mode on my iPad Pro is a really bad experience as a player. I actually bought this tablet specifically to play PTCG Online a few years back, and that game is such a good experience in landscape mode on this device. It would be really nice for the replacement game to have that feature parity.

    Completely agree. Also, just from practical standpoint it’s very hard to play without a specific setup to charge your device while playing. This could also be fixed by letting the screen flip when turning the device upside down. Landscape mode would be much more preferred though.

    Is there any hope these guys are going to address landscape and the other iOS issues? The iPad Pro experience is lacking so much in comparison to PTCG online

    PLEASE update this. The experience on ipad is not enjoyable due to locked portrait mode. Any other card game would have this feature on launch.

    When can we expect the iPad to use landscape? This app plays awkwardly in its current form. Love y’all, can’t wait to see the game get better!

    @Mod_Champion I did as you advised, never received so much as an acknowledgment.

    It is now 2 years later and no one with an iPad can play in landscape mode. This request is on the first page of all requests if you sort by "Top", so it's clearly not a contrived desire that only a handful of people would benefit from.

    I truly don't understand this design decision and I don't understand the refusal to put it on the roadmap. Personally, I barely play the Pokémon TCG at all anymore, as this decision has taken away my simplest, most comfortable way to play.
