‪I can do about 95 to 97 percent of the things I need to do on my iPad Pro, the main problem stopping me from going all in is web-based aps that insist on treating the iPad like an iPhone. ‬

Pretty soon I’m just going to cut those apps from my life.

Or iOS 13 will fix that? If the rumors are to be believed, Safari on iOS 13 will handle (some?) web apps better. Hopefully Safari on iPad will become a more desktop like browser, not just hacked for a select few popular sites (like YT or GDocs).

@roelio I think the issue is less to do with Safari and more to do with the app developers. An example, possibly not the best one, is WordPress. The WordPress.org web interface is poorly designed for working with a touch screen. WordPress wants me to either use the official iOS app, which misses a lot of features and has some major user interface problems or the more modern web app which does a little better but still is not as flexible as the older user interface.
