StowQR on iPad Has Never Looked Better

By The StowQR Team

The iPad is a fantastic home organization tool. The screen real estate is perfect for reviewing an inventory list while you're standing in the garage or unpacking moving boxes. We always believed StowQR should feel at home on that bigger canvas — and now it does.

A Layout Built for the Large Screen

We've redesigned the Tote Detail view with a native iPad two-column layout. When you open any tote on iPad, the screen splits into two panels that work together:

  • Left panel — your tote's cover photo displayed in a crisp 4:3 aspect ratio, plus the tote location and item count at a glance
  • Right panel — the full, scrollable items list so you can see everything in the tote without losing the photo context

It's a layout that feels intentional — not a stretched phone layout, but a real iPad experience. The kind of interface where you can set your iPad on the shelf, glance at the photo to confirm you're looking at the right box, and scroll through the contents at the same time.

Adaptive by Design

The layout adapts automatically. On iPhone — and in compact split-screen on iPad — StowQR uses the familiar stacked list view you already know. Switch to full-screen on iPad and the two-column layout kicks in seamlessly, no settings required. The app reads the screen width and chooses the right layout for you.

Better Photos, Too

Along with the new layout, we updated how tote cover photos are displayed everywhere in the app. Photos now use a consistent 4:3 aspect ratio — the same ratio as the iPhone camera — which means your tote photos display exactly as you shot them, with no awkward cropping or stretching. It's a small change with a big impact on how polished everything feels.

Get the Update

The new iPad layout is available now in the latest version of StowQR. Update from the App Store to get it — and if you haven't tried StowQR on iPad yet, there's no better time to start.
