Bring back landscape viewing mode

As an older iPad user I prefer the landscape mode. One reason is the way the comics are presented. I love that you can tap the first comic and it fits the width of the screen and then you van arrow through the rest of the comics. However in portrait view the screen is not very wide and the single comic is hard to read. And you can’t pinch to make it wider in this situation. Please bring back the landscape view. If you don’t know how maybe you can reach out to the Washington Post’s IT dept.

Removed landscape view and e-newspaper link

Like others, I was told by The Baltimore Sun’s customer service rep that landscape view was removed from the iPad app so that ads would appear better in portrait mode. The user’s experience is clearly secondary to that of advertisers. No reason to use the app. The link to the e-newspaper was also removed for some unknown reason. Other news platforms don’t seem to have this problem.

Removed Landscape Orientation

Why? How can I go back to the previous app so I can comfortably read on my iPad? Ruined the Sun paper for my enjoyment.

Why Remove Landscape Orientation?

This is a serious step backward for us iPad users! I cannot think of another app that I use that has this limitation.

Portrait Only on iPad

Reading on a phone in portrait mode might be natural and preferred; not on an iPad though. Recently, the Baltimore Sun turned off the ability to view the app in landscape mode. The response I received from customer support was something along the lines of they couldn’t format the ads properly in landscape mode. In other words - they don’t want to invest in what it would take to accommodate their advertisers in both portrait and landscape - and/or they don’t care about the iPad user experience. Every app I use, including news platforms, can be viewed in landscape. If not, they get deleted. Can you imagine Kindle going portrait only on tablets??? They’d go out of business, no doubt. How arrogant is it of the powers that be at The Sun to think their readers are just going to roll over on this so that the advertisers can be accommodated?? I am canceling my subscription. This review is strictly on the app, not the content.

Removed Landscape Orientation

As the revision says, this latest version removed the landscape orientation ability. All other newspaper apps allow this, so it has become a major pain to go back and forth. I would recomend just using the website in Safari.
