Canva iPad app performance and UI consistency lags far behind desktop versions
Canva's iPad application exhibits severe latency when switching between chats, graphical glitches during transitions, and a visually inconsistent UI compared to its Android and Windows counterparts. These regressions appear tied to an OS visual overhaul that was not fully accounted for in the iOS build. Users who rely on iPad as their primary device are stuck with a substantially degraded experience.
