 Description   

My five year old and I play iPad to iPad over our local area network. As of this update we don't see each other when we are both playing, despite being on the same version of Minecraft PE. All the forum advice seems to be that we need to make an Xbox live account. This is bizarre and we don't own an Xbox. We play locally since my child is five and do not want to be rung it through an Xbox profile. Please bring back the simple LAN connection so when we play we can simply join a world that the other player is in!
Typically I would see my sons world in this list and be able to join.

Ok I figured this out. Under options both people need to turn on LAN, which defaulted to off in the update. And you find your friend under friends now. Hope this helps others.
