I have a problem and can not enable AmazonSmile in the Amazon App

It is not clear why it is not always available (works on my iPhone but not my iPad for example). You can still search for items and add them to your basket using the Amazon App, however please do not check out in the app (we won't receive the donation).

If you then visit smile.amazon.co.uk in your web browser on any device (including your iPad) your items will still be in your basket and when your order is completed we will benefit from the donation through AmazonSmile.
