iPhone X App Shaming

[FunkyTang]

It’s been over two weeks. Time to shame the apps that aren’t taking advantage of the X screen real estate.

Post the screenshots of the apps.

Up first ‘Bejeweled Blitz’. I know no one plays this anymore but they could at least support the new resolution.

The interns at Google must be on vacation. Google Maps

There are 2 apps I use that have no excuse. One was updated for the first time in a year this week and the other is my mobile banking app. They literally just released a completely overhauled app that is not optimized. Kind of ridiculous

It has taken months, if not longer, for many apps to update when screen sizes changed before, not sure why people are somehow expecting something different now.

If it makes OP feel any better, there were apps that didn't update for the 5 or the 6 upon release. Luckily, most of those Apps are no longer in the App store.

It'll take a while...

However... I've seen plenty of my apps that have already been updated.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What I find annoying is the app that update multiple times within the last 3 weeks and not include a resolution update

I like the idea of this thread. Doesn't seem like a huge deal to make the app have a larger screen. And it's not like they didn't have 2 months to prepare ahead of time. I've been deleting apps that are borderline that haven't updated to the new screen resolution.

I have installed a couple Gmail updates since getting the iPhone X, and it’s still not full screen. I’m most annoyed by that one.

Disney World's official app.

Words with friends (its how my family knows I’m alive haha)

How did you all upload these screenshots? Mine are apparently too large to be uploaded to Macrumors. Are you using an app that can compress them? The most egregious for me is the DJI Go 4 app, as I thought they'd be at the forefront of updating their app. Also the Bank of America and Chase apps.

Even Apple's own itunes remote app hasn't been updated yet!, and that was last updated 8 months ago.

Next up is the Nest app.

Don't feel too bad. My mother requested that I play with her after her best friend passed away. WWF2 hasn't been updated for the X either.

WWF2 and Wells Fargo are the only two apps that I use that have not been updated. Out of 15 apps or so on my phone I'd say that's pretty good!

Even Apple hasn’t updated all their apps. AirPort Utility

I'm very surprised that the U.S. Post office just updated their app for iPhone X. I guess you can't make any assumptions about the priorities of any particular company's app developers.

The worst are apple’s own apps like remote or beddit and Skype is really ridiculous as well!!

I play MobilityWare’s TriPeaks

 

[dmrowley]

I really wish Tapatalk would update their app.

Next up, appleinsider

Better yet. Apple's iMovie for iOS hasn't been updated.
