Comping on I iPad

So after trying to win one and failing I finally bit the bullet and bought one

Anyone else comp on I iPad? How do you find it compared to a laptop/desktop?

Can you save your details so they can be auto entered?

    I have only ever entered on an iPad, so can't compare to a desktop. I have a steady flow of wins though and I don't co no as much as I would like to. iPad has its own auto fill if you go into settings you can set it up. It's temperamental though and some features on the autofill crash my ipad and at times I have to switch it off which is annoying, good luck, enjoy the iPad xx

    I have a iPad mini and find it just as good as using a laptop. One thing I did notice when entering comps especially on Facebook is that when you enter it says you cannot enter with mobile device . I use google Crome and at the top left hand side there us 3 lines, click on that when that mobile message come up and click on ' request desktop site'. Normally it will then let you enter the comp. hope thus helps xx
    Thank you to all the posters

    Good post tink, I've tried comping on iPad but find it very time consuming.

    I tried to set up roboform everywhere but to no avail?

    Personally I couldn't get on with comping on the iPad, a laptop is far quicker.

    Would have to agree. Everything seems so much more time consuming.

    I know that in the time it takes me to enter one comp on the pad I could have entered 5 on my laptop.

    See my advice here - always worked for me but some sites won't work. Find the daily magazines are quicker (and easier to do on the go) but the Best prize draws won't work :)

    Thanks to all posters :A

    I have an iPad and I tried to comp on it, but even with autofill it was too time and energy consuming as I have a routine on the laptop so the iPad threw that out of whack! lol.

    Hello! Well, for me, I use the apple keyboard which gives me the best of both worlds, because I can do speedy tasks, with auto fill but type, which personally i find a lot easier! :)

    After setting up the auto fill I was getting too frustrated with it as it would fill in details where they shouldn't be! I tend to type them in now but saved my name & address as a signature in my emails so I don't need to type that in. :)
    I tend to do all my comps on an iPad (until I win a pc anyway! :p) It doesn't do flash on some sites but there are ways around it but I just tend to avoid the flash ones!
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    I've only ever used an iPad, not won though, paid for with hard earned cash :D

    The best part is it almost always bypasses any potential virus alert and can enter anything without a prob. If you want to enter a comp that requires adobe flash, just download the free Puffin browser and copy/paste the comp into it, simples!

    As you can see by my sig (what the hell is going on this month?!?!) you can win plenty no matter what device you use ;)
