Dear Trudee, it's not the device that counts but the app!! You can make a post on your laptop and then edit on your phone or tablet or any device you want to use, that's fine as long as you use esteem both times. Esteem surfer or esteem mobile, it counts as one.
You can check your post URL and you'll see that there a long line of number and three letters. If you're using esteem, your letters will be est.
I don't edit on my ipad and my phone is too small for me to keep up to date with social media stuff Erika. But I was commenting quite a bit from my ipad but using steemit app. That was making the difference, so I did appreciate the information you shared with us. Its all a learning process isn't it? .
Trudee, can't you download esteem on your iPad? I'm not familiar with iPads.
If you're commenting a lot, you should benefit from it.
Oh yes.....I have downloaded the esteem app on my ipad but I don't find it very user friendly but that is only because I got used to the steemit one Erika. I also prefer the bigger screen of my PC to do my editing on. My eyes become strained on smaller screens.
