Needs Landscape Orientation

When the Vogue app first came out, its adaptive portrait and landscape layouts were a revelation--a fantastic way to orient magazine layouts to iPad-size screens.

Your decision to remove the landscape reading and replace it with horizontal "scroll to see more" sliders was a disaster, not an "update!" Because a reader can now see only half of a double-page image at a time. Whats the point of Vogue if you cant enjoy (let alone see) its signature images?

Apps for Hearst magazines (Elle, Harpers Bazaar, etc.) just display two pages side-by-side in landscape screen orientation. Its not as elegant as Vogues original solution, but at least a reader can actually see double-page image layouts.

(Or: if youre just going to give up on offering a worthwhile magazine experience for the iPad, then at least update the new Vogue iPhone app to leverage iPad screen sizes.)
