Having trouble building form in ipad

i am trying to build forms on iPad. For some reason when it says to tap to type text I cannot tap to make it do anything.

are there certain tricks to build the forms with iPad? 

Hi,

The form builder is fully optimized to work on desktop/laptop devices only so we suggest to create your forms using these devices.

However, the forms created with Jotform are mobile friendly. They work perfectly and easy to fill on mobile devices. You might find this useful: http://www.jotform.com/help/311-How-to-make-Forms-Mobile-Responsive
