Doesn’t work on iPad Mini 4

Bought this to use on my iPad. It opens but none of the icons work and the intro tutorial or initial setup didn’t appear.

A real shame because it works really well on my iPhone but that’s not what I bought this app for.

One annoying thing is that the home bar seems to be persistent and the video is resized smaller as a result. The clock, battery level etc is also persistent. Why the developer chose to do that rather than just hide it as all other video apps do I don’t know. There is also the odd menu big here and there and for some reason not all channels appear in bouquets.

Using with a Zgemma H7.

Lastly, if you click the support link then you get a German, “Site not found”.

Problem

Working great with only one issue. Running iOS 11.4 and can’t use landscape mode. Have changed many settings to try to get it to work but can’t. Turn phone to landscape and picture turns to portrait with half a picture

Perfect for Zgemma

Installed and running within 1 min, smooth streaming of HD channels, full EPG and full choice of audio streams for language selection. Access to recorded content is also perfect. Can't fault it, looks and sounds great on my iPad Pro 12inch as well as my iPhone 7 Plus :)
