I created an account on my laptop. When I installed it on my iPad it prompted me for a phone number and an SMS number.i have no such number, and could get no further.

I found this app to be lacking in quality. I tried to edit posts and the cursor would not even cooperate. In addition, when I decided to delete my account it would not let me, it just kept giving me a message that my username was incorrect. It was not.This app needs A LOT of work. I don’t trust it.
