You need to update the Eero app to be a Universal app and improve the display to better handle iPad-sized screens. Once I went past 3 Eeros (currently have 7), I need to horizontally scroll to see all the Eeros.

Just chiming in again on the ease of this with Apple’s universal binaries. Looks like iPad usage is growing with iOS 11. With more and more folks using iPads, this seems like a complete no brainer at this point.

Keep voting this up folks, the more we request, the likelier to see implementation.

  rcooked Got to agree and I really hope this is under serious consideration. Right now you get the impression it is an old out of date app as most modern apps support all iOS devices.

  rcooked if the system did not work as well I would have sold it and jumped to one of the other makes....I am still considering that very strongly. It just irks me that Eero choose to ignore this simple request. Going to do some research on other mesh networks now...

Add another vote for an iPad app. A great green man once said, USE THE SPACE! Or something like that!

I'm shocked, shocked, to find this does not already exist. Just purchased my eero set and I don't own a apple or android phone. Shockingly I own a Windows phone;), can't bring myself to lose the great metro tiles.

So true. I install a lot of Sonos and Lutron RadioRa2 and all these customers seem to have iPads which is a much better way to use the apps. I bought a used one so I would know my way around the apps;).The same would hold true for eero, the small screen of a phone is a dumb limitation.

  shoek I really don’t understand the reluctance from eero to create a ‘universal’ a[p that will work on all iOS devices as no web interface is provided

  Hi, Yufasa – it seems like there's some confusion here. The eero app currently is available on all iOS devices, we simply don't offer a dedicated iPad version of the app. If you filter your App Store search results for iPhone apps, you can download the eero app on your iPad – it works as a scaled-up version of the phone app. If you'd prefer to use an iPad for the app, that option is very much available to you!
  
  Kindly,
  Drew, eero Community Team

  Drew unfortunately, this is not what anyone wants of this feature request, for the following reasons:
  
  - most users won't know to change their AppStore settings to show iPhone apps on iPad
  
  - the iPhone app on the iPad is only portrait; this doesn't work well if you have a keyboard with your iPad
  
  - the iPhone app on the iPad shows less on screen than the iPhone app does on larger iPhones. For instance, on my iPhone X I see all 5 of my Eero devices but when running the iPhone app on iPad I only see 3.
  
  Either way, I see this is an accepted feature request so hopefully all these +1's will bubble it to the top of your backlog.

  shoek Thanks for your feedback. My comment wasn't intended to dismiss any of the reasons or preferred use-cases for wanting a dedicated iPad app – I was simply explaining to our fellow community member that app availability on iPad exists in some form :)

Yes, you can get the iPhone app on the iPad. However, the "experience" is subpar and less than desirable as mentioned above. I seriously hope this will be addressed since it is accepted and Apple makes it easy for developers to have universal apps.

I'm a refuge from the web desktop thread...if there is no plan for a web interface then please update your apps (Android/iOS) to be universal/tablet aware. Throw us a bone for landscape mode please.

Milwaukee Tools just announced an iPad app. This is a tool company where you really don't expect this but with Eero, who must have software engineers, cannot create an iPad app? Shame on you!
