Simple Practice on iPad
Answered
I don’t know exactly how to explain this and I hope you guys understand what I am trying to ask. I am using Simple Practice on my iPad but I have a keyboard attached to it so everything I pull on up the iPad turns sideways. Unfortunately, when I pull up the SP app, it is up and down instead of turning sideways. Of course I can still read it but it would just be more convenient if the app would turn sideways like everything else. Is here a setting on SP or on the iPad that I can tap on to make this happen? I appreciate any help :)

JoAnn, we actually recommend using the full web version of SimplePractice on your tablet, instead of our mobile app (which is optimized for a phone). Here's a guide from our Help Center: https://support.simplepractice.com/hc/en-us/articles/207927153-Using-SimplePractice-on-a-Tablet

Hi Gillian,
Thanks so much for the quick response! Especially now.
I do have the Telehealth app. It looks like a phone app and it doesn’t turn into landscape so that’s why I went back in through the browser.
Is there a separate ipad app for Telehealth that will allow for a horizontal screen? The issue is that I cannot have my screen vertical and use my keyboard.

Hi Britta and Jamie, quick update here. We've identified an issue affecting some customers using our Telehealth app on iPad where the app is not switching to landscape mode as expected. Our team is working on resolving this now, and I'll post an update in this thread when we've released a fix.

Hi all, our engineering team released an update for our Telehealth by SimplePractice iOS app today that should resolve the landscape orientation issue some of our customers were experiencing. Please check the App Store and download the latest version of the Telehealth by SimplePractice app. If this issue persists after updating your app, or if you have questions about SimplePractice we can help with, please let us know.

Hi Gillian,
Is it likely that the simple practice app would get updated so that it could switch from portrait to landscape mode? I know there’s the option to log onto simple practice from the web, but I would love to use the simple practice app on my iPad rather than having to log onto the website through a browser.

Hi Sarah, thanks for your feedback. The SimplePractice app (the main app, not Telehealth by SimplePractice) is designed to work best on a phone, and we aren't currently planning to allow landscape mode for the SimplePractice app for this reason. The best way to access SimplePractice on your iPad is using the full web version of SimplePractice via your iPad's internet browser.

Hello,
I use simple practice for telehealth on my phone. I set up a a tripod and put my phone on it and do my sessions this way. I’d like to be able to screen share so I can show my clients some resources while in session. How can I do this? I know it’s possible because one of my clients showed me who is only 9 years old! But he did this from a laptop.
Thank you for your help!

Hi Rachel, I'd be happy to help. SimplePractice's Telehealth app for mobile devices doesn't currently support screen sharing, so you'll need to use a computer and the web version of SimplePractice to share your screen with clients. We're actively working on integrating screen sharing with our apps for mobile.

Hi Margaret,
Our Telehealth feature does not currently include a white board.
If you have a moment, I encourage you to add this idea to our Ideas and Suggestions board. Posting on this board means that members of our Product Team, as well as all members of our Community, have transparent access to review your suggestion. This board is one of our most important resources for understanding which features will have the most value for our community.
If you're curious, here's more information about how a customer idea can become a SimplePractice feature: Customer feedback: How a customer idea can become a feature in SimplePractice.

Hello all,
I am seriously thinking about using an iPad Pro with generation 2 pencil with Simple Practice. It is surely possible that I missed the information in the Archives, so I'd like to raise a couple of questions. I haven't purchased the iPad yet, so I have no experience using one.
With an Apple pen w/iPad Pro, when SP is open can I write directly into the patient's record to complete the Note section?
If so, will it show up as typed or written? There are times when I want to create 'pictures' or multigenerational content notes. I can squeeze an awful lot into these documents. Can I write a genogram into an App, then copy/paste into a Psychotherapy Note?
I would like to avoid the step/time it takes to write or create a diagram on paper, then place it into the Notes.
I am fine with jotting down a quick note or creating a diagram that I will also whare with the patient, however won't sit and type during a session.
I would greatly appreciate any of your positive/negative experiences using an iPad Pro with pencil and/or the magic keyboard.
I am most interested in finding out how using the iPad Pro increases your efficiency. I am wanting to maintain the same level of documentation, while saving time.
I also came across a few Apps mentioned in posts to help with the iPad. What Apps do you find most helpful regarding your practice management?
Many thanks!!
Bob
