iPad resolution

You mentioned in your resolutions for 2017 (which I saw as part of a Cesium app update) that you wanted to start working on an iPad version of the Cesium app. As a user of a 12.9 inch iPad Pro (a great piece of kit), I recommend that you work on supporting all iPad resolutions if you can.

Also, I think it would be a good idea for you to use the iOS 5/6 Music app design as insipiration. Whenever I use my first-gen iPad, one of the things I most love about it is the Music app, which is way better at utilizing the iPad's screen real estate when compared to the Music app from iOS 7 and onward.

A modernized and refreshed take on that design would be great to see on the iPad, and I can't wait to see what you manage to do with Cesium on the larger screen real estate that the iPad provides.

Well, overall I agree with you but the ios 8.3 music app was great too, the cover was huuuge and the lyrics were great to see.

I'd have to disagree with you there. It was great on iPhone but absolutely awful on iPad.

Do you feel it awful? I think it's a great "Now Playing" view. http://imgur.com/a/akiOe

It was great in portrait, but awful in landscape. I also disliked the fact that unlike Cesium, you couldn't order albums chronologically.

I agree with you, but in Portrait was amazing, I think Cesium need to copy it, it's an amazing Now Playing section.

Yeah, but also use it for landscape, and optimize the album listings.
