Has anyone used an iPad Pro for working with Webflow, and if so, how was the experience?

TL;DR
  • Webflow Editor and CMS work reasonably well on iPad Pro for content updates, especially with an external keyboard and trackpad.
  • Webflow Designer is not fully optimized for iPad browsers, with drag-and-drop issues and inconsistent performance, so serious design work still requires a desktop.

Using an iPad Pro for working with Webflow is possible but comes with certain limitations depending on your workflow needs.

1. Webflow Designer on iPad Pro

  • The Webflow Designer is not fully optimized for mobile browsers — including iPads — and you may encounter glitches or UI issues.
  • Safari and Chrome on iPad can load the Designer in desktop mode, especially on an M-series iPad Pro, but the performance is inconsistent.
  • Drag-and-drop interactions (essential for layout building) can be janky or unresponsive.
  • Custom code editing is difficult due to the limitations of mobile browsers and on-screen keyboards.

2. Webflow CMS and Editor

  • The Webflow Editor and CMS panel are more usable on iPad. Clients can easily update content using the Editor interface on a Safari or Chrome browser.
  • It's a good device for simple content editing or reviewing page updates, especially with external keyboard and trackpad.

3. Compatibility With Accessories

  • Using an Apple Magic Keyboard or external keyboard/trackpad significantly improves usability.
  • With Stage Manager (iPadOS 16+) or Sidecar, you can extend your display, but it still may not fix all Designer-related constraints.

4. Alternatives and Workarounds

  • Consider using remote desktop apps (like Jump Desktop or Parallels Access) to access a desktop and work in Webflow from your iPad.
  • You can also use your iPad for planning, wireframing (e.g., with Figma), or content prep, then switch to a Mac/PC for building in the Webflow Designer.

Summary

You can use an iPad Pro to interact with Webflow, especially CMS and Editor features, but the Webflow Designer is not fully stable or optimized for iPad browsers. For serious building or design work, a desktop environment is still required.
