Although the Format experience has not been optimized to work on iPadOS or tablet devices it is possible to use for the majority of the task but some pieces do not work like they do on laptop or desktop computers and browsers.
The iPadOS versions of Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge browsers have been tested on an iPad Pro 11".
Some features do not work with finger touch or gestures, an Apple Pencil or Bluetooth mouse is recommended and Bluetooth keyboards also improve text entry.
Issues experienced and workarounds have been highlighted.
