Everyone has their favorite apps. Although many of them will work on iPhones and iPads, they don’t all take advantage of the iPad’s larger screen. We’re going to explain how to tell which apps should work well before you download them.

每个人都有自己喜欢的应用程序。 尽管它们中的许多都可以在iPhone 和 iPad上使用，但它们并没有全部利用iPad的大屏幕。 我们将在下载之前说明如何判断哪些应用程序应该运行良好。

不同类型的应用 (The Different Types of Apps)

The App Store is home to millions of apps, but they aren’t all created equal. To determine whether an iPhone app will work on your iPad, you need to know a little about how apps and the App Store work.

App Store拥有数以百万计的应用程序，但它们并非完全相同。 要确定iPhone应用程序是否可以在iPad上运行，您需要了解一些应用程序和App Store的工作方式。

There are four types of apps a developer can build:

开发人员可以构建四种类型的应用程序：

• iPhone-only: These apps are built for the iPhone and cannot work on an iPad at all. The number of apps that fall into this category is small, and they are usually those which require hardware that isn’t present in an iPad.

  仅限iPhone：这些应用是为iPhone构建的，根本无法在iPad上运行。 属于此类的应用程序数量很少，通常是那些需要iPad上没有硬件的应用程序。

• iPhone-specific: These apps are designed to work on an iPhone. They’re built with the iPhone’s screen in mind with interfaces scaled accordingly. They will, however, work in iPhone compatibility mode when installed on an iPad. When running in iPhone compatibility mode, apps appear on an iPad’s screen just as they would on an iPhone. Users can choose to have them appear the same size as the smartphone’s display or scaled up and stretched to fill the tablet’s larger screen.

  特定于iPhone ：这些应用旨在在iPhone上运行。 它们在构建时就考虑到了iPhone的屏幕，并相应缩放了界面。 但是，当它们安装在iPad上时，它们将以iPhone兼容模式工作。 在iPhone兼容模式下运行时，应用程序会像在iPhone上一样出现在iPad的屏幕上。 用户可以选择让它们显示与智能手机的显示屏相同的大小，或者按比例放大并拉伸以填充平板电脑的大屏幕。

• iPad-only: These apps work only on an iPad. Few and far between, these are usually games or drawing apps not suitable for a smaller screen.

  仅限iPad：这些应用只能在iPad上运行。 两者之间相差无几，通常是不适合较小屏幕的游戏或绘图应用程序。

• Universal: These apps are designed to work equally well on iPhone and iPad. When installed on iPhones, the app displays a smartphone-specific interface. When installed on an iPad, the app’s interface changes to one more suited to the larger display and potentially works with accessories like the Apple Pencil. These are the kinds of apps that Apple pushes developers to create.

  通用：这些应用旨在在iPhone和iPad上同样出色地运行。 在iPhone上安装时，该应用程序将显示特定于智能手机的界面。 当安装在iPad上时，该应用程序的界面将更改为更适合较大的显示器的界面，并可能与Apple Pencil等附件一起使用。 这些都是Apple推动开发人员创建的应用程序。

适用于iPad所有者的最佳应用 (The Best Apps for iPad Owners)

So, will your favorite iPhone app work on your iPad? If it’s universal or iPhone-specific, the answer is yes. Ideally, you’ll want a universal app, especially if you also use an iPhone. You’ll get two apps in one, and both will make the best of the devices they’re installed on. An iPad-only app will definitely suffice if you don’t use an iPhone, though.

那么，您最喜欢的iPhone应用程序能否在iPad上运行？ 如果是通用的或特定于iPhone的，答案是肯定的。 理想情况下，您需要通用的应用程序，尤其是如果您还使用iPhone。 您将获得两个应用程序，并且两个应用程序都将充分利用它们所安装的设备。 但是，如果您不使用iPhone，仅iPad应用程序就足够了。

The last resort is to use an iPhone-specific app. It’ll run on your iPad in iPhone compatibility mode; it won’t be easy on the eyes, but that’s better than nothing if you’re in a pinch. We’d suggest reaching out to the developer and asking if a universal app is in the works.

不得已的方法是使用iPhone专用的应用程序。 它会以iPhone兼容模式在iPad上运行； 眼睛上并不容易，但是如果紧要关头，总比没有好。 我们建议与开发人员联系，并询问是否正在开发通用应用程序。

iPhone-only apps cannot be installed on iPads at all, so you don’t need to worry about downloading one by accident. They simply don’t appear in the App Store on an iPad.

仅iPhone的应用程序根本无法安装在iPad上，因此您不必担心会意外下载一个应用程序。 它们根本不会出现在iPad上的App Store中。

如何在iPad上识别通用应用 (How to Identify Universal Apps on an iPad)

The easiest way to identify a universal app from your iPad is to look at the screenshots in the App Store. If you see iPad screenshots, you’re good—the app is either universal or iPad-only. You won’t be left with a blown-up iPhone interface either way.

从iPad识别通用应用程序的最简单方法是查看App Store中的屏幕截图。 如果您看到iPad的屏幕截图，那就很好了-该应用程序是通用的或仅适用于iPad。 两种方式都不会给您带来爆炸的iPhone界面。

You will also see a list of the officially-supported devices below the screenshots. Universal apps will display iPhone compatibility when the listing is viewed on an iPad.

您还将在屏幕截图下方看到官方支持的设备列表。 在iPad上查看列表时，通用应用将显示iPhone的兼容性。

如何在iPhone上识别通用应用 (How to Identify Universal Apps on an iPhone)

The same note is visible in the App Store on an iPhone. If an iPad version is important to you, check that an app is universal—it’ll say that it offers an iPad app if it is—before downloading it.

相同的注释在iPhone的App Store中可见。 如果iPad版本对您很重要，请在下载前检查该应用程序是否具有通用性(如果有，则说明它提供了iPad应用程序)。

Apps listed as “Compatible with iPhone” in the Information section (at the bottom of the App Store entry) are iPhone-only. Those that say “Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch” are iPhone-specific, unless an iPad version is mentioned below the screenshots.

在“信息”部分(位于App Store条目底部)中被列为“与iPhone兼容”的应用程序仅适用于iPhone。 除非屏幕截图下方提到iPad版本，否则那些说“与iPhone，iPad和iPod Touch兼容”的用户是特定于iPhone的。

If the app is iPhone-specific or iPhone-only, consider looking for an alternative.

如果该应用程序是特定于iPhone或仅适用于iPhone的，请考虑寻找替代方案。

Most high-quality apps—except for Instagram—are likely universal and should work equally well on your iPad as they do on your iPhone. Developers have moved towards creating universal apps in recent years, and there are tons more than there used to be.

除Instagram以外，大多数高质量的应用程序都可能是通用的，它们在iPad上应能与在iPhone上同样出色地工作。 近年来，开发人员已转向创建通用应用程序，并且比以前多了很多。
