remote app rotation locked in portrait orientation after iOS 7 upgrade

No rotate here either with IOS 7

However Apple TV has not updated yet, there will probably not be a update to the Remote App until it does

This seams to be indeed a structural flaw induced by iOS 7. Hopefully this will be resolved in an update of Remote since the latest was on 30th of January this year.

Jony Ive probably have time this yet :-)

While this feature mightn't be reinstated, I'm not of the opinion that its been intentionally removed. Remember its the OS we've updated and not the app.

Unless they've since included a blacklist of apps which are denied rotate capabilities I see this as being a simple API change which has broken functionality. Why that hasn't affected other developers I don't know, although I guess Apple may have used an otherwise undocumented API. It would be ironic if they've fallen foul of their own policy of vehemently dissallowing the use of undocumented calls.

Anyway, that's my spin on things. Eitherway I'm equally as annoyed as you guys, my perfect[feeling] audio setup has been left in tatters!! Well, that's how it feels anyway 😉

Agree. This probably a bug. I really hope so, since there is no logic to it otherwise. But please Apple fix it as it spoils an otherwise superb music control system

Agree, a bug, an oversight. The other thing I noticed is that there is a column of dots on the right hand side which ought to have letters to let you jump to that place alphapbetically, but there are no letters. I'm hoping this is not related to the default of the music app presenting list view rather than the old grid view. I'm hoping I just haven't found grid view there yet. Or it is yet to come.

My guess is that iOS 7 for the Apple TV when it arrives will include a new Remote app..... At least I hope so. Does anyone know when Apple TV gets its update?

Finally; updated icon accordingly to bug in remote 3.0.2

Does apple uses flash on their own site? i have a flash-blocker installed and it gives me warnings on this page.. Don't know the details here, no expert by any means, but some flash appears to be detected..

Pretty sure this is a bug... a BIG bug actually... I noticed that if you use Apple TV and have your iPad set on mirroring, whatever orientation you open remote in, will be the way it appears on the screen. If you open in portrait, it will be in portrait mode on your screen, but, if you open in landscape, it will be in portrait on your iPad, but appear sideways in landscape mode on your TV.

Heh... Nice icon @rvanderweide

Remote seems to have more little issues. Sometimes buttons only respond while the iPad is in landscape mode (and Remote in portrait). Sometimes it doesn't respond at all.

A bit sloppy from our Apple friends. It's not that iOS 7 came as a total surprise to them, is it?

Same problem as all the rest ... VERY irritating! I use Remote a lot, and I always use my iPad mini in landscape orientation. It's incredible that Apple could not make one of their very own apps iOS 7 compatible by the time they released the OS ... very disappointing!

I'm darn sure it's a bug, because the controls are either unresponsive, or respond with the wrong function.

Same here with Remote App. May be off topic but I'm having the same problem with Words With Friends HD. Stuck in Portrait mode. Deleted and reinstalled still stuck.

Use my ipad as remote for all multimedia, like samsung tv, mac mini and audiostuff. Everything worked great, but why does updates always change the look and feel en feed frustrations. Now the rotation to landscape is blocked, only portrait. Hate this stuff. But, in the end, if we keep on complaining, things will work out fine. Still in love with Apple, there is no decent alternative. Hang in there....

I have the same problem.... I hope this isn't a sign of more problems yet to be realized.... How could this be overlooked? If it is because of conflicts with other apps that are installed, then I am not impressed... that is a MS Windows issue, not IOS... I will be patient yet, I am not impressed with some apps not behaving as they have with IOS 6.etc..
