Hey all. Sorry if already asked, but I can't find anything.

I am trying to use ForeFlight on a new (to me) iPhone 6S Plus. It shows me the "Menu" and "FPL" buttons when oriented vertically, but they go away if oriented horizontally.

Do I have to rotate it back to vertical to access these menus?

Any help?

Interesting. I see the same on the regular 6. There are a lot of things I can't figure out on the iPhone that are intuitive on the iPad. I find it pretty frustrating.
 
Speaking of FPL,
why do they have a button for Florida Power & Light?
 
FYI re a response from ForeFlight indicating there is no way to find the MENU or FPL button functionality if your iPhone is mounted or held horizontally:

Hi Joe,

Robin here - thanks for your email. Those two buttons are not available in the landscape view but I will tally your vote for us to add those in the future.

Let us know if you have any other questions. We're happy to help!

I only have the 6s+.

I wish I could get a per segment distance and ETE...there would be enough space in landscape mode.
 
Odd. You would think with the increased headspace in landscape versus portrait that you would have more not less icons, buttons or whatever. Why go with the increased Lat-Lon info?
 
They decided to make it even more consistent.. no more fpl in portrait with 8.1

Edit: nevermind
