That’s because they didn’t make an iPad app and so it was just the iOS app on a large screen. Lots of app used to be like this until they made iPadOS versions.
Is there actually an OS called iPadOS? I thought it was just iOS?
There is. I think they used to run on iOS, hence the upscaling of the apps to the larger screen.
Wiki iPadOS 17
