Landscape UI for the SimpliSafe App
Is there any plan to create a landscape mode for iPad IOS?
This would be a very useful update.
Seems way overdue.

@dalemikenm @theb00m thanks for the feedback. Our dev team has been mostly focused on the phone UI (as you can see by the changes we've been making for better usability and convenience), because a vast majority of our users are on mobile phones, and the webapp already covers a lot of the functions for larger-screen users.
But the more of you that chime in here, the more we can show our devs that there's demand for a tablet-focused UI.

No landscape mode is frustrating and very annoying. I think it’s basic, and should be available.

The inability to view exterior camera activity in landscape mode on our iPad is frustrating. Please develop landscape....while portrait may be be suitable for cell phone users, it is annoying and clumsy on an iPad!

I frequently use my iPad to access information. I have a keyboard so I have the iPad in a horizontal position. However, the app opens in vertical position which is inconvenient. This particular screen is horizontal. But not all applications switch for vertical to horizontal when the iPad is tilted. Since it’s inconsistent it appears the app may need to be reviewed and programming adjusted. Thanks for looking into this.

Please re-code the app that's on an iPad so the it works in Landscape Mode. Right now, yours is the ONLY app that only works in Portrait mode, which means that every time I open your app I have to remove my iPad from its stand and rotate it 90 degrees. Yuch!!

This was requested at least 3 years ago. What is taking so long SimpliSafe?

Why can’t we get a response from the Dev Team on this 3 year old request?

Same here. Please add the horizontal layout, preferably with split screen compatibility on iPads.

Just got the system and not having the app on iPad rotate to landscape is very disappointing, especially to find it's been requested for so long. There is an older household member who uses an iPad during the day and she is quite a distance from the door. I'd like her to be able to respond to the doorbell if she is here alone. Please update the app; it's a no-brainer.

Please relay the message to the development team to have Landscape mode for the SimpliSafe App UI for iPads. Many homes in todays day & age use iPads for their homes and this Landscape UI is very much over due. I’m order to stay competitive and bring your technology in line with your competitors we kindly ask you to Please get us an update SimpliSafe…

Had I known this product didn’t work in landscape mode, I wouldn’t have purchased for the numerous reason’s noted above by other frustrated users. Shame on me for not doing my homework! Very disappointing.

I don't see it being mentioned (or I'm just totally blind), but if you activate Stage Manager on iPadOS, you can view the portrait version of the SimpliSafe app while in landscape orientation. That's how I use mine since I always use the Smart Keyboard. My iPad is never in portrait orientation.

Agree with above comments saying landscape mode on the app is necessary. Both ADT and Arlo offer this, and many other non-security apps as well. For me it is an indicator of how much a company values their customers.
