Anyone using an iPad or Android Tablet for MFP?

Topic is self explanatory...

I want to know if the MFP app works well on either one of them.

Do you find the extra screen space to help a lot?

And Yes I know you can just browse to the website but I want to know about the app since I don't always have wifi available to me and have no plan to get a 3g data plan.

    I have an iPad and use the app all the time. Honestly, I love the App. I also use the App on my Droid phone. Both are great!!

    I love using it on my Nook (hacked to be a pretty much full android tablet). Especially now that they've added the "social" part to the app and it's not just a calorie tracker. Awesome!

    The app itself is ok...except it's made for the iPhone so you have 2X the view so it's not very sharp.
    The app works well otherwise and I have had no problems with it on the iPad.

    I frequently use the app instead of the website on my iPad. I like the nutrition chart that comes with the app and find the nutrition report on the website pretty much useless.

    Android app works well. You can do everything other than post to and read the message boards. Logging of calories and seeing the news feed work well.

    As someone said, all you're doing is viewing at 2X so you get a bit of pixelization. Also it doesn't switch to landscape mode so you can only view it long ways.

    Edit: I use it on the iPad.

    I don't get the pixelization on android tablet, and it does switch to landscape. The latest update was just released in the last couple days. Maybe another Apple update is forthcoming?

    App on phone when mobile or barcoding food (iPad doesn't have a self focusing camera)
    iPad browser whenever connected.


    I don't use the iPhone app on the iPad.


    Some of the fields take some getting use to as they don't behave as other sites do.

    I use MFP in Safari on my iPad. I like the iPhone app, but it's a bit limited, and safari is easier to navigate on an iPad, so...
