Hi there. I don't get it either but that has been my experience. As an example on my iPhone I will usually swipe left or right about one third or less on the screen when it is in portrait mode. I was doing the same kinds of swipes on the iPad and those were not working. So I increased the length of the swipe maybe by two and now they're working much better.
