You certainly know how to stop people playing. When you stop this ‘test’ I will play again. It is extremely annoying In portrait mode and to be forced the play that way

I also play on IPad and find it quite uncomfortable in portrait mode. So no Candy Crush Soda for me until this is back to landscape. Quite sad, but maybe a good thing to be forced to have a break. Let me know when this is fixed...

And I can switch back! Please share solution? Thanks!

Well we all need to run tests sometimes. Do that where it won’t affects your customers. I can’t play the game until it goes back to landscape. I also spent $5.99 yesterday! Can I get a refund until you test is over?

When this reverts, I will continue to play. iPad on portrait is NOT an option... My phone is a work supplied phone, so NO, cannot play until this reverts to Landscape 😡😡😡

I cannot believe that you people do UAT testing by putting it out live so people cannot play Soda Crush in landscape mode. Do you not use HP Loadrunner? This is basic testing practice and as someone who was the test manager for LHR T5, I find this methodology very poorly thought out and how would the test script for this look in HP ALM? I’m not impressed.

I registered on this forum to specifically give you feedback on this issue. I have been playing this game for years in landscape and It's a terrible change to the game. I only use the iPad to play this game, and I play it in landscape because it is absolutely the most convenient way for me to play it. It's the only app I use on my iPad that forces me to turn the screen into Portrait.

Instead of enforcing this "Test" on everyone, why don't you release an update and give people the option of being tested in "Portrait" mode only instead of annoying all the landscape users.

And exactly what are you testing that forces portrait mode? Are you planning to make the game Portrait only from this point on?
