Not sure if this is a bug but I mostly use mangadex on my iPad and with v3 it's pretty much unusable. Basically the home screen uses the interface on the mobile phone but on the iPad everything sticks to the left side of the screen which leaves the right side empty also most of the buttons especially options aren't loading. The previous version used the same interface as the PC version and obviously it was fine then. Anyway if there is a way to fix this please do, I'm mostly away from my computer and I don't want to use my tiny phone to read manga.

I also am unable to see any manga pages using safari on an iPad 2. No text on buttons, no options, and no graphics. I realize it's old, but I'll be disappointed if it no longer works.

Yeah, old iPad Safaris can't handle some of the modern code that the reader uses, same as with trying to use Internet Explorer. It's not going to be easy to try to fix it either (assuming it's even possible), so at least for the time being select the legacy reader from account settings instead.

Dang so basically I can't use my iPad to read manga anymore. The reader is fine (set it to legacy mode) it's just that finding chapters on the home page is unbearably bad. Guessing I've finally hit the limit on the old iPad.

@Koin I'm not sure I understand how the front page makes finding chapters harder, but the "Latest updates" text is a link which leads to a page similar to the old chapter listing and there's a new option in the account settings as well to replace the updates section on the front page itself as well.

Sorry probably should have worded it better, what I meant was the home page is inferior design wise as it has a blank space the size of my phone on the right side of the screen where the "top chapters" and "top manga" should be but now it's below "latest updates". Also on the "latest updates" it only shows up to 20 manga at a time and there is no option to check the second page of new updates, in fact there is no other page functionality at all on the iPad meaning unless I followed a manga any other would last 4 hours before it's gone.

Just want to add here:

Using an iPad Mini and I do have the same issue as 1bxPnNRB62E8y0Kp.
Switched to legacy reader temporarily (though I really hoped to use the new reader on my ipad too.)

The JS is working now, but the CSS could still use some shims.

This particular issue could be addressed with support for -webkit-box- and -webkit-flex- prefixes, although the preprocessor would need to take different syntax into account.

(Update 7 hours later): Currently broken again. First image loads, but has either a dark overlay or partial opacity. Interface doesn't respond when trying to go to different pages. Webpage as a whole is zoomed in slightly by default (margin/padding issue?) which affects scrolling.
