Why did iPad buttons move to bottom of app like a phone UI?

[Shakespeare212 8]

Did the iphone version of the IOS app get released to iPad? All commands for note navigation/selection have been moved to thumb command positions (menu, search, edit) at the bottom of the screen like in a phone app, not a tablet app. This is awkward and counterintuitive because it’s not modeled on how tablets are held or where tablet users look for commands (or where it’s comfortable to use).

Also, what was the benefit/need for users being targeted with this redesign? It seems be trying to solve problems no one had with the app?

         I don't understand the reference " All commands and menus for note navigation/selection"

No, as I mentioned, this is referring to the menu and command buttons, not note edit controls. I have edited my post for clarity. Please delete your post, it is misconstruing my feedback.
