Weather Channel app not rotating on new iPad Pro Gen 6

Radar taking up 2/3 rds of the screen is awful. Why would they do this. Give me back my screen

Terrible idea. Having only landscape is crazy. Many people hold our iPads like a book at times and having to rotate to just look at the weather is crazy. To the point I won’t use the app at all on my iPad.

Please hurry your programmers. I don't need 2/3 of the screen as a radar image.

I do not like the Weather Channel App changing to landscape view. Very irritating. How do we contact them to ask them to provide a fix to get the screen in portrait view?

Ugh. That is a ridiculous and arrogant response from TWC. Sounds like our worst chatGPT nightmare. These programmers decided to change the display for a more ‘immersive’ experience that allows ‘multitasking’? Seriously? Is this heavy-handed corporate control a company policy, or simply the endgame of how programmers are being taught in CS these days?

Let the consumer decide how they want to view content, please. for now, I will find less ‘immersive’ and heavy-handed apps to get my weather.

thank you TexProf for sharing!

I have an iPad Pro (3rd gen) running iOS 17.5.1, & it just recently updated my weather channel app. I can only see it in landscape mode. Phone which is an 11 Pro Max also updated & it is fine. I have used weather channel (premium) for a number of years - our main weather radio actually,- & I had no issues with it. However, I am just not crazy about new look & info provided - especially radar (6 hours & jump to 24 hours???). Now, I learn on here I can’t change view on my iPad from landscape. What a bunch of B.S? I will be submitting my review along with a good-bye to the weather channel app. Thanks everyone for the info!

I dont like the landscape only function. I rarely use my ipad in that mode, so this new “feature” is not one i support. Going to use a different app-until this is changed.

Bring back vertical. Get rid of landscape as the only view. Until it’s fixed I’ll use other weather apps. I use my iPad like a book. Your programmers are not considering all users only what they think all users want.

After the most recent ios update to 17.4.1 my weather channel app on my 9th gen iPad Air no longer displays in portrait mode, or rotate, as it did before the update. My phone which is also at ios 17.4.1 still displays in portrait mode and will rotate to landscape mode. Can't figure if it's a change in the app or a change in ios 17.4.1 for iPad.

Why change the app ? It used to be user friendly, now it's friendly to weather Channel people. Don't tell me what I like-- I like to see the weather in portrait view and I don't need a huge radar screen

I dislike the landscape orientation and a radar I rarely use that takes up 3/4 of my home screen. Changing to a different weather app until it’s fixed.

The Weather Channel app is set up to function in landscape only on an iPad.
