It's not really much better on a browser. It took me about 10 minutes of clicking and swiping to figure out that you're meant to use the cursor keys to navigate. What a shitty user experience...

Seems like they used a Powerpoint-esque framework... it's not really intuitive when you think of it like the average web page, but for giving a presentation it's quite good

In powerpoint you can click on the slide to move to the next one.

Explain downvote please.

Negativity. I didn’t downvote but even agreeng with you and being frustrated with the website I was put off by the tone of your comment.

I feel I have a right to a bit of negativity after trying in vain for 10 or 15 minutes to use a website which is completely unusable on an ipad, and not very usable on other devices either (I just have to figure out that you're meant to use cursor keys). I'm just honest - if something is shitty I'll say so. I don't think that was a reason for getting downvoted. I've seen quite a lot of articles posted here with (usually gratuitous) swearwords in the title.

The site also crashes the ipad most of the time, although I think that is just iOS being shitty rather than any fault of the website.

Sure, and other people have the right to not like reading the negativity.
