The app seems a bit buggy on iPad pro

Qsigne ,

Extra, extra, hear all about it! Great app is ruined be false marketing!

Loads of great features, yadda, yadda. I downloaded the app to try “Is your portrait in a museum?”, like thousands of others, and like those other people, I too discovered it wasn’t there. “Only select locations” was understood by all to mean “only some museums are in this”, but apparently it means “only select people”.
I have a hard time figuring out why. I suspect this is a feature that is only possible to use in Silicon Valley.
So now I am irritated instead of delighted with this app, feeling I have been tricked into downloading it, and that’s a shame, because I would probably have liked it if I had discovered it another way.

Not suitable for iPad :-(

Unfortunately useless for iPad, which I always use in landscape view, due to the use of external keyboard. Am deleting the app. What a waste.
