I downloaded the viewer launcher onto my iPad but I can’t get it install.  
Any advice?

Thanks,  
AC

Do you mean the Vision Client Launcher? It won’t install on an iPad. Were you thinking of the Perspective App? That’s in the Play Store.

To use an iPad I need to use the Perspective App?  
Is there any way to use an iPad without using Perspective?

No.

Edit: Well, you could code a complete custom HTML5 UI with the WebDev module… /:

You don’t necessarily need the Perspective _App_, but you do need to be using Perspective. It’s also accessible in a browser.

Vision clients do not work on iOS or Android devices.
