    I won an ipad 2 and have been comping on it ever since. I love it. The autofill works really well - just complete your details in the contacts form, and once you start entering details after a while it recognises them and autofills really quickly. I do find that I have to enter the phone number manually...not sure why but I've filled it in every possible box on the contacts book on the ipad but it just rarely autofills.

    As mentioned, some FB comps wont let you enter on a mobile device, so I email those to my laptop.

    the other ones that dont work are ones that require flash.

    I love it on the ipad....I find the laptop a pain now!

    Much easier and quicker on the laptop. Find my ipad has a lot of limitations. Doesnt support flash player for one, and a few competitions need this. Also the autofill for forms better on the laptop. Everything takes me so much longer on ipad.

    I sometimes use the ipad for comping, but find it easier on the laptop. Main problem with ipad is that i have managed to enter comps before i've finished filling the form (eg adding answers) as one finger seems to find and touch the enter button while the other fingers are doing something else on the screen :eek: :rotfl: but then perhaps I'm clumsier than others:D

    I won an ipad mini last month and didn't realise there was an autofill function! Thanks for the thread as definitely checking that out now. I don't have a laptop and I like curling up on the sofa and comping but not having autofill was annoying!
