9.5. Touchpoints

• Optimize your app for one orientation before adding landscape support.

• Use landscape orientation to display content differently, not just bigger.

• Lots of typing in your app? Support both landscape and portrait keyboards.

• Use landscape to offer graphical alternatives for organizing content and info.

• Not everyone will try tipping your app on its side. Beware of hiding important content and features behind screen rotation.

• Some features may not be appropriate (or physically fit) in landscape view. Avoid disorienting your audience when the layout changes.
