Thanks for confirming no plans. I've lost track of the number who have promised it for years and never delivered. This looks like a nice app for iPhones, but its not useful for serious iPad work.

In case you revisit this decision in the future, using the extra space isn't the issue. The "improvements" I'd be looking for on iPads would be much more mundane: support for the basic stuff like using the iPad keyboard, supporting split screen and landscape orientation, and text quality that doesn't look like it's from pre-retina days.

Incorporate a browser, perhaps? I am a student, so when I use Anki for classes I generally have to look up that idea to get the concept down. Would be pretty cool if you could have that integrated.
