iPhone 6 Plus Optimised Apps

Icon is fairly unrelated as they even said they weren't planning on changing it (at last not based on just how iOS decided to look).
They're being rebellious. Apple should discipline them by deleting their App on the App Store and make up some false reason why they did it.
They are being their own company with their own product. Why should they change their logo/icon because some OS that they are on changed their design?They're being rebellious. Apple should discipline them by deleting their App on the App Store and make up some false reason why they did it.
So YouTube and Facebook were updated today...AND NO LANDSCAPE MODE ON EITHER ONE!!
The lack of landscape on many apps is infuriating. Kinda defeats the purpose of getting the 6+ in the first place. Are the developers lazy or what? The few apps that actually have landscape have done it retardedly without any split view a la Apple's apps. Good example is Alien Blue. Brutal. There actually is an RSS reader, Fiery Feeds, that has done the landscape mode fairly well.
How do we get the developer's attention to not be lazy and treat the 6+ as a plain iPhone but utilize its unique capabilities in the manner Apple has already shown?

So it matches 99% of other apps. I just delete any app that doesn't have a flat icon. Only exception is Instagram, and that'll be fixed the minute a jailbreak is released.
Well, I guess that's you choice of course. But a company doesn't necessarily base their brand on decisions like that, short of them having a huge impact of some sort (and I'm guessing that not many people go as far as doing anything like that over app icons).
I'm sure Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave at that comment! Jony Ive is like "It's called art, ever heard of it?!"
By the way, I'm just kidding.
Drafts 4 is out and fully supports the 6+. MacStories has done a brilliant review of it http://www.macstories.net/reviews/drafts-4-review/
Thanks for that. Looks promising enough that I purchased the full version. It feels really good. Still not the landscape mode I'd like but it's nice enough. Alien Blue is a horrible user experience for me. Now that Reddit bought them I hope that they can make it better.

That reminds me, iA Writer Pro was also updated. (Ive added it to the list.)
Youre welcome, it is definitely my preferred Reddit client. The developers are great people.
