Actually, you need a lot more sizes to cover all different devices:

Oh, and one more thing!
on iOS, html links opens Safari
<!-- Will open page2.html in the Safari app, leaving your app -->
<a href="page2.html"> Go to next page </a>
<!-- The easiest way is to do this instead -->
<a onclick="location.href='page2.html'"> Go to next page </a>
Doesn't work
Works
