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

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

I tried it LP, ad thank you , and I see where it would be useful for multitasking but remember I have had another iPad running on exactly the same data and apps (I literally downloaded my most recent backup from the 11 to the 12.9 for the initial setup. I thought it should run pretty much seamlessly but alas…it’s not an issue because I obviously can easily rotate the iPad. It just seems strange that they’ve slowly been reprogramming a lot of apps for rotation enabled purposes.Also, yes I am subscribed to the Wx website.

No. There’s no solution yet, Sberman Stage manager sort of fixes it but it’s not full screen. It appears the weather channel may have changed its site some, perhaps for the larger screens? I was thanking LP for explaining stage manager but there’s still not a real portrait view. You can see in the pictures I posted that it works on the same year model 11” so I know it was working as recently as last night. I jus setup this 12.9 Wednesday.

It appears to be an app issue that is only taking effect on certain models. My 11 pro is still running in portrait mode as is my iPhone 15 pro max. All are on 17.4.1. Then there’s the new 12.9 and it’s landscape only unless you like a mini-window using stage manager.
