Any update on iPad app?

I really want an iPad app. I’m playing with Home Automation Dashboard and ActioON. I had no problem deploying them, but making edits and customizing them is tedious.

I really would like a native full resolution iPad app. Can you get this out? It really should be a priority.

While I agree app development as a whole should be a priority. I and many others would much rather backend speed and stability improvements, a good app is nothing w/out the infrastructure to support it.

Last i heard it was on a list but far down that list. The ipad currently works, just doesn’t look “nice”

I have an Idea, Lets make the Smart Things iOS App a universal binary and add:

-Native iPad support with Portrait and Landscape Orientations

  • iOS NC/Today Widgets
  • More stability
    -Regular iOS updates

Just a suggestion,

I use a Jailbreak tweak on my ipad called FullForce that works rather nicely to fill the screen without stretching things. There are some things here and there that are a bit odd because it’s doing things the developer isn’t quite intending but it looks a bit more complete.

Just thought everyone should know, enjoy!

I have an iPhone only app that when opened in landscape on an iPad Air shows a half black screen. What was the rendering problem with IOS 8.x. How did you work around it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@Tyler, @Ben, how about getting the iPhone 6/6 Plus version of the iPhone app on our iPad’s? That at least in the short term it would look/work a little better. I get more on my screen on my 6 Plus then my iPad but would like to use the iPad more. Is there a way to do that until you can produce an actual iPad app?

There’s also an issue with keyboard when using the iPad. Some keys are completely missing…such as ( and ).

I relly like smartthings but if there isn’t considerable and constant investment in enhancements, I don’t see smartthings keeping in front of the competition.

Really. No iPad version? I sure hope development isn’t being impacted by the note issue.

The app has never scaled to full screen on an iPad Pro even if starting in portrait, is either quarter size or half

I’m new to SmartThings. I would love to see an iPad version, or at least set up auto-rotation in the iPhone app.

I agree. I see that people have been asking for this for several years. All my other home automation apps have landscape mode and when I use Smartthings I have to pick it up and use it in portrait.

The latest update made the UI really weird.
