Would be very nice to see the option of Horizonal Screen working. On my Samsung note 20 it does not 

work. I did have it working in split screen  but now that does not work that way any more .  Seems to be a graphics issue  .

Up until last week I was able to to Split screen and have a full screen view  of the app  but now it opens up in a half screen .

If I drag the split screen bar the Ifly gps app sceen does not change correctly  the map display stays small and it looses 

the position of the buttons .

This sounds like something possibly unique to the Note 20.  iFly works fine in Landscape (horizontal) mode on all of my Android devices, including 2 Samsung tablets and a Samsung S9+ phone.

iFly is not designed to operate in split-screen mode.  I'd recommend you avoid trying to use that capability with iFly, to remove one variable from the situation.

Make sure you have the phone oriented horizontally before you launch iFly.  If you launch the app while in Portrat (vertical) orientation, and then change to Landscape (horizontal) while it's launching, that can cause problems.

So:  Starting in full screen mode, in Landscape orientation...when you then try to launch iFly, what exactly happens?  (Does it not launch at all?  Does it start to launch and show the "iFly GPS" splash screen, but then exit back out?  Does it get to the map screen, but have display issues?  Some other behavior?)

The iFly folks are at Sun'n'Fun in Florida right now, so they're not monitoring the forums.  They should be back online here in a few days, and you can wait and see if they have any suggestions.

Alternately, you could try submitting a bug report (which the iFly folks may ask you to do anyway):  Go launch iFly in a way that causes the display issue you're seeing.  If the app exits on its own, fine; if it doesn't, then do what you need to do to close the app (by force, if necessary).

Then, in Portrait mode, re-launch the app, and choose "Menu > About > Send Bug Report", choose "Use Default", and then pick your email app when prompted (Gmail, or whatever you use).  iFly will populate a new email message with a bunch of information; you can write a short explanation of the problem you're reporting at the top (right before where it says, "Current Log:"), and then send it on its way.

Not sure if it was you i was talking to in the support queue or not, but this is a known bug and we're working to squash it in our next release.
