A Basic Landscape Mode Should Be Required for All Android Apps

Posted: 11 Jul 2021 08:25 AM PDT

Do Google and Samsung realize one reason Apple dominates the tablet market is because Android developers often fail to include landscape mode for their apps? Why not make at least basic landscape mode a requirement for app store approval?

Some believe Google has largely given up on tablets. Their focus does seem to be almost exclusively on phones and Chrome laptops. Maybe the thinking is, why care about tens of millions of tablet users when the real prize is over a billion phone and laptop/desktop users. However, Apple knows ecosystem choices are influenced by the quality and smooth integration of apps across all form factors.

On the other hand, Samsung is almost single-handedly keeping the Android tablet market afloat with some of the best hardware in the business and increasingly tight integration across form factors. This one additional requirement in their app store would seem to be a no-brainer.

If anyone else agrees, we should post and/or look for and upvote feedback to both companies. I'm not even sure where to post this kind of feedback for Google.

Who has kept their phone for more than 3 years and why? Are you using a custom rom?

I've had the Oneplus 8t+ 5G from t-mobile and I don't think I'm going to be upgrading until it breaks or something fails. A phone this new has everything I could ever need. 12gb of ram, 256gb of storage, 120hz screen, a great camera with gcam, the specs go on but at the end of the day a working phone is still a good phone.
