After reading this thread, it gives the impression that LingQing (creating links) on the iPad is not possible and audio doesn't work. Not true.

Outside of the iLingQ app, which works for reviews with audio well (albeit as an iPhone app), the built-in Safari browser lets you create LingQs. The best way I have found is using the QuickLinqQ view to do the LingQing. Sometimes you have to touch a selection twice. The reading view works for lingQing individual words (a bit erratically) but not for phrases. Audio works by holding the play button for a long time and selecting open in new tab. The audio can play in the new tab. The lack of Flash is not a problem.

I've found the iPad to be very handy for reading and reviews and the odd session of LingQing. The LingQing part (creating links) is faster and more convenient on a desktop.
I agree with keke. I like to create LingQ on my computer using QuickLingQ and then read and review on my iPad or iPhone using iLingQ.
Dear Steve. I just bought an I pad and can not hear the audio by going
To Lingq via the Internet and I can't select words from the text with the App. am I doing something wrong? Thanks SBStraussii
@sbstrauss - You will not be able to play the audio on the site because the flash player we use on LingQ won't work on iOS devices which don't support flash. You will have to use the app to listen to audio or download the audio files to iTunes and play them that way. On the app, there is no way to create LingQs, you can only listen to the audio, read the text, review LingQs by tapping on yellow words in the text and review flashcards of saved LingQs for each lesson and daily LingQs.
Audio works on the IPad by pressing the green play button for a long time and selecting open in new tab when a menu pops up. The audio can play in the new tab. The lack of Flash is not a problem.
So I have just got a new iPad (the little one) and I find that almost all aspects of the LingQ website work almost perfectly on the iPad. I can create new LingQs; I can see old LingQs; and I can listen to audio and read at the same time without much trouble. The only major thing I do not think I can do is to create LingQs from words already marked as known, which I rarely do anyway (but would still like to be able to). For creating new LingQs, it is a little slower than on my laptop, so I will probably read the more complex texts, where I will be creating LingQs for 20-30% of the text, on my computer, but for simpler texts where I don't need to create so many LingQs, I can do it all quite comfortably on my iPad. I do hope however that a proper LingQ iPad app is made soon since the website is a little inconvenient on the iPad.
