When you go to the Appstore using an iPad (as I have) it clearly shows which
apps are iPad specific separate to those that work on the iPhone/iPod touch.
The only Australian birding app shown as iPad specific is the Birds of
Australia app which uses Wiki sources. The Morcombe one shows as iPhone
specific.
That does not mean that it won't run, just that it won't run full screen, like
the Birdsite AU app.
To get a definitive answer - has anyone actually tried to use a copy on the
iPad?
I would really like to buy it, but would prefer iPad friendly.
On the AppStore iPad apps are always indicated by a + sign - Morcombe does not.
