Support for iPads #221

I recently bought an iPad Pro for school and I absolutely love the device. However, I noticed that Buttercup runs in this „iPhone“-mode or how you wanna call it (see attached screen). Also, when switching to landscape, the app doesn‘t rotate, it stays in portrait mode.

I have some time in the first week of February, a MacBook and would like to make a contribution to add „native“ iPad support, but I have no experience with React Native, only with React Web. So I ask you guys: How much work would it be to make the App ready for tablets? And how ideally would I test it, beside directly on my iPad? Are tablets even something you guys want to support with the app?

We've only built it for phones - and yes we do want to support tablets. That's quite a big job if we want to re-engineer the UI for tablets as well, but doable.

I think it does not need to be designed for tablet, but having it run in tablet mode would already be a huge advantage.
