Form filler for an i-pad

I subscribe to Roboform and use it all the time on my desktop but having downloaded the app on my i-pad2 I cannor get a Roboform toolbar using Safari . If this is not possible what is the best alternative please ? Thanks for any help .
By the way I treated myself to a keyboard to go with the i-pad as I find the popup keyboard such a pest and I love my new keyboard . Will I be able to fit it in the suitcase when I fly off on holiday though ?

I do most competition on my IPhone (6plus so I have big screen) - iPad and iPhones have autofill setting - go to settings, safari, in general there is autofill&passwords0

Oh and I also use shortcuts, find them very useful gor emails and some forms, you can set your shortcuts in settings-general-keyboard-shortcuts0

Like Reem I find shortcuts very useful - I have even slowly built up a small database of the most common captchas I seem to get when doing the c2w as well as the usual contact details and "Answer:" etc.
The dictation function is also very useful if you ever get tired hands like I do.0 -
The iPad form filling I find really useful0
-
I have discovered that the Safari form filler only works if I use the keyboard on the i-Pad itself it pops up with the keyboard0

I wouldn't put the iPad in the suitcase that goes in the hold of the plane - or you will maybe never see it again (lots of baggage handlers can open cases and take out items - they know what are in cases as they get X-Rayed before and after being on the plane)
Make sure you place it in your hand luggage - you may also need to switch the iPad on at security so makes sure plenty of power in the batteryYes, I know there is no "R" in the word dream in my username - it was setup in memory of my grandson :A0 -
Fill in your details as a contact and then set up autofill using that "contact"Thanks to all posters :A0

What's wrong with Roboform?
That's what I use on the iPad. It opens as a browser I like it because I keep comp bookmarks separate from my normal stuff. Click the link. Hit the button in the corner and it fills your details in.
I did look too but I couldn't find anything else similar.Sigless0 -

but do you use Safari ? Googling I found it did not work with Roboform . I use safari on my desktop and changed the ettings there so getting formfiller with my I pad. We always take it in handbaggage. I have a couple of self catering wins in the UK so hope to sue it on those . Do not want to miss any good competitions , you do get addicted sad but true .0 -

No. I don't use safari at all. As my main browser I use atomic and have done since I first got the iPad. For comps I use the browser that's inbuilt in the roboform app.
Safari can't have addons on the iPad because apps don't work like that on mobile iOS. So no form filler like robo will have a safari addon for the iPad.
I find it easier I just have my comp bookmarks on roboform and use it that way. When you open the roboform app it opens as a browser with a button in the corner you hit to fill forms.Sigless0
