Mr. Happy, I know you were having trouble doing reps with Chrome on your iPad. The key is to hit the tap the text box while the keyboard is already displayed.
Scroll so the rep button is in the top half of the screen, tap the rep button, and then tap the text box. This should cause the keyboard to appear, but there will be no response when you type. Tap the text box again and you should see the cursor appear in the rep text box. Typing should then work properly
