PvZ HD can't fit on the iPad Pro's screen

Since December 18, 2018, when the game was updated for version 2.4.0.0, the game has not been updated over 5 years. Since 2018, Apple has released the iPad Pro series of products, and the screen of the device is getting more and more bigger, so the PvZ HD is now like this.

I think this is not my personal idea, many PvZ HD players also have this experience when they using their iPad Pro to play the game, I hope you can update the game to adapt to the iPad Pro screen.

I was using an iPad Pro 2022 12.9 inch, but my friend had the same problem with an iPad Pro 2024 11 inch

We both love PvZ.

    Given that the PVZ is over 10 years old, I doubt PopCap will be planning to spend time and efforts on the graphic updates.

    IIRC, I think I read some posts (last year?) suggesting the App was set at its 'sunset' stage.

    Hey @ShiroiSakuya , as eieio_31310 said, it's unlikely we will see a graphic update for newer iPads... ☹️

    I'm not sure if the app is officially sunset though! There is still a team working on updates and bug fixes, but yeah some features are unlikely to be added unfortunately!

    For a game that has been out for over 10 years, this shows dedication and commitment.  

    Also thank you for debunking a myth that the original PVZ's support was being removed and discontinued.

    FYI, I still show this classic game to nices and nephews at partties and let them enjoy seeing the funny faces of the zombies after I feed them with garlic..... 👿

    Currently, only PvZ Free is updated on Android's Google Play and iOS App Store, and the last update was 3.6.0 14 minutes ago, while HD has only been 2.4.00 since 2018

    I want them to be updated as well, optimisation is enough.

    You're right, Bro. But I feel that since PvZ Free can be updated until now, PvZ HD should be treated the same way. We don't need to add content, just optimize it

    @eieio_31310 The faces are so funny, I don't know which one is my favourite 😂

    Wait, I think I may have spoken too fast. I was speaking about PvZ 2, not PvZ 1 😵😵 Indeed I don't think we have a dedicated team for PvZ 1. But if there are major bugs, I'm pretty sure some of the other teams pick those up to investigate. However it's so rare that we get any reports for the original PvZ 1 so that doesn't happen often. My mistake!!

    @ShiroiSakuya Yeah I understand ☹️

    Indeed, I think this game does not need a dedicated team, after all, it is very perfect, but can not adapt to the iPad Pro screen size problem is really affecting the game experience, imagine, a 12.9 inch iPad to play PvZ HD, the game screen is only displayed in the middle of a piece of the area, and around  are black.

    To be honest🩵, this is not a recent phenomenon. I went to a female friend's house in the summer of 2021, and I already had this situation while playing PvZ HD on her iPad Pro. This is like a system compatibility issue, maybe as the system continues to upgrade, the App gradually becomes less compatible with the system, and now the game's graphics are not compatible with the iPad screen size
