I honestly wouldn't say that an iphone or ipad is well equipped to do modifications of a c5 site. I've managed to do it on an android tablet a few times but it wasn't fun.

I think it's pretty safe to say that C5 simply wasn't designed for management via a mobile device. I know that in one of the more recent Totally Random video's it was mentioned that 5.7 they would do things where they could to support a mobile interface, but it wasn't going to be made a high priority.

I would agree... trying to do anything but fix a typo on a mobile device is aggravating. So even on a iPad? We have a couple clients that only have an iphone and iPad. So we should tell them they are SOL? Any other solutions to hold us off until the c5 update?

And does it make any difference to edit in chrome or firefox on the iPad?

Thanks for the response. Just trying to give our client another answer other than NO.
