Weather Channel app not rotating on new iPad Pro Gen 6

I gave my daughter my 11” Gen 4 iPad Pro which worked fine with the weather channel app. I purchased the newest 12.9” pro which is basically the same tablet just larger. They both have the upgraded memory and 2TB. Weather Channel does not rotate on the 12.9. That just doesn’t seem to make sense/ I’ve checked all the usual suspect issues but everything seems fine. I actually set up the new tablet using my latest backup so everything seems to be still set up the way I like it.


Any ideas? Don’t be shy. I’m pretty puzzled myself. I do like the new iPad though…Al

iPad Pro, iPadOS 17

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

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!

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.

I just got this from The Weather Channel Support:


Hi!


Thank you for reaching out with this feedback about your impressions of the new iPad app.


At this time, the new app design only supports landscape mode on iPad. We made this decision to lean into a more immersive and contextual radar experience that allows you to multitask when using the app. I will pass your feedback about portrait mode on to the relevant teams working on making improvements to the new experience. 


We have more exciting map layer enhancements planned so we hope you'll stick with us and give the new experience a chance. 


Please let me know if you have additional comments. Thank you!
