There is limited support for iPad, especially for coding. I have not tried to preview a challenge on my iPad, but I know Workspaces does not work (or did not work last I checked). It would not surprise me if the preview in a challenge did not work. You will find some odd issues with iPads. For one, if you do challenges through Safari you cannot place a cursor unless you have made it so the code window is scrolled to the top. This issue also exists on desktops, but you have arrow keys to work around it in that environment. But challenges work great on the iPad app. So if you regularly use an iPad, I would watch the videos and do the challenges on the app. If you need to do anything else, I found the web site to be better.

I have used my iPad extensively. Let me know if you have any problems.
