Is there a solution to this issue?

The real killer with the iPad app is download speed which is incredibly slow.

Servers are currently up and running…

We’re working on some BLE optimizations that should hopefully cut download times by a bit. Also, on the roadmap is the offline compiler for iOS / ChromeOS / Android to avoid this issue.

I agree it’s less than ideal for competition purposes, but we wanted to release something sooner rather than later and made the compromise of using an online compiler.
