I’m planning on building a large application for a company, and was wondering what the current progress of iPad support is for Ionic?

Is it worth it to wait a few weeks for an official release, or would you recommend using the side-menu/pane hack that @mhartington did in:

> There's this codepen, but it's not as powerful as iOS mail app side menu. It basically assumes that you have a static side menu and doesn't allow you any side-menu navigation.

Just depends on what you need. If you need that nested navigation, then you’re going to need wait a while, since that is dependent on a few more things.

If you just need to keep the sidemenu open on larger devices, then that css should work.
