Got lots of apps that are not using the full screen. Apple has to drop the hammer on these guys and tell them to update to X requirements or they are going to get pulled from the App store.
Got a tip for us?

Ip X apps lagging behind

I agree.....these apps look crap on the X and ruining the whole experience. Part of the reason too while I keep thinking about getting an 8+ instead.
The X was just released. If Apple actually carried out such a threat then probably less than 10% of the apps on the App Store would remain (assuming this happened within the next few months).
The phone has only been available for 9 days and I’ve seen loads of apps being updated.
Apple aren’t going to and shouldn’t force devs to update their apps simply because a few million people got a slightly larger screen. There’s 100’s of millions of iOS devices in use so the X users represent a much smaller subset.
Apple should just showcase those making use of the X screen on the App Store and encourage updates.

Excel, OneDrive, Yammer and ToDo all have had updates and there’ll be more that I don’t have installed.
I’m sure they’re working on them and releasing when ready.
Apple hasn’t updated their own Airport Utility app yet. Things take time.
Let hope that some developers are quicker than they were adopting the iPhone Plus displays. Some apps to this day are not optimised for the additional screen size!
There have been so many updated apps released in the last 7-10 days that I can barely keep up. It’s happening. There are some glaring omissions from big players, but it’s happening.
Maybe they shouldn’t promote apps in their own App Store as app of the day, such as Words With Friends 2, that are not optimized for iPhone X screen.
