iPad app should respect iPad orientation

I like to use the chess.com application on the iPad.  However, it should respect the iPad orientation, i.e. when the iPad is horizontal, the app should turn 90 degrees to match.  This is just basic iPad app usability!  It's most annoying when trying to watch a video; I have an iPad smart cover (=stand), but I cannot use it when watching the chess.com videos, because they stay in portrait mode, but the stand works in landscape mode.  I thus end up taking off the smart cover and propping up the iPad on a nearby object (salt pot, small box, etc.).  How ridiculous is that!?!  Come on chess.com, make the iPad app respect the device!

Agreed. That's on the roadmap and not far off! :)

Cannot wait I think Chess.com will look great on the iPad

Version 2.0 (iPad) often fails to report the correct number of 'your move' games. It often reports '4' when there are no 'your move' games. It looks good, though :)

The videos now turn the right way. Thanks chess.com!
