Albion Online is the first of its kind.
Is it perfect? No.
Is it continually improving? Yes.
Are there fun aspects to the game? Hell yes!
You have to play the game to truly find out for yourself.
At least join the official forum to research before you commit to buying the game. Everything is discussed there. https://albiononline.com/?ref=BN1KYHKM2F

Whatever Renoaku says about Albion needs to be weighed against the fact they were banned for cheating, and are being salty about it.
I do not think of Albion Online like a normal MMO, I think of it as a mobile MMO, since I only play it on a tablet while I am out and about.
For a mobile MMO, and compared to other mobile MMOs, it is a decent game, fun to play.
Did they ever get iPad support working?
I never looked into iPad support, but did just look at a FAQ and found this:
Which platforms will Albion Online be available to play on?
On release, Albion Online will be available for Windows, Linux, Mac, and iOS and Android tablets (with 2GB memory or more). Please note that public testing is not available on iOS; founders cannot test Albion Online on an iPad. This is due to issues with publishing apps on Apple's App Store, and we apologise for any inconvenience. The iOS version will be available on release.
A creative person is motivated by the desire to achieve, not the desire to beat others.
Obviously this a POS game with POS developers. Putting money in this game is like putting money down the rabbit hole.
For all the trolls criticizing Renoaku go jump in a lake, sounds like a very legitimate gripe. I invested money and time in this game and found it very wanting. Play if you like, but the chances of getting banned for spurious reasons is very applicable. Some friends that I play with have experienced the same such behavior. When there is no avenue for appeal, that does not say much for the support staff.
This is NOT a great game in any shape or form IMO. Complete waste of time if you ask me, but it is your money and time.

From your link:
"TRULY CROSS-PLATFORM
Albion Online is the first truly cross-platform MMO experience, available for Windows, Mac, Linux and Android, with all players on one master server in one massive, sprawling world. You choose how your adventure evolves; at home or on the go!"
I don't know why they are persisting with this claim...

I even tried bringing this to the attention of the devs in several places:

Sounds cool, I guess...?

It's really not a lot of money, unless you are unemployed or a kid, or live in eastern europe or something.

There is a reason why some players have to spend a lot of time playing a game with a competitive element and it has nothing to do with the game.
