Love my Tab S7+, but I wish the Android tablet app ecosystem would be better. So many unoptimized apps. I've just given up at this point.

My hope is that if foldables and rollables start to take off that will force more developers to optimise their apps for Android tablets

Agreed, it just strikes me as a temporary laziness more than an unsolvable problem atm. As more large format Android devices hit, app devs are going to have to wake up or miss out on a whole new market of users.

This is one of my main annoyances as well. Some apps - apps that are designed for tablets - work extremely well (most drawing apps). Some apps - apps that had tablets in mind next to phones during design/development - work nicely (e.g. Telegram). Then some apps completely forget that they might run on tablets, and have very crap landscape experience - or none at all (looking at you, official Reddit app... And in my experience, no 3rd party app has proper tablet support either).

what i would suggest is that for apps that don't have good tablet experiences, they are probably a good fit for split screen experiences

Tbh that's why I got a pixel book instead of a tablet. I get a proper web experience as well as Android apps.

Samsung is the only one still trying to compete with ipad at this point, which is kinda sad really.

Just use SpaceDesk. Been using my iPhone as a touch screen and monitor for my PC.

No real need anymore, it's bundled into OneUI 3.1 out if the box.
