Ionic Live Reload - Takes long time and doesn't save page
You can work around these problems, make sure you are using lazy loading to ensure a quicker reload.
When you are working at length deep in your app write some code to navigate there automatically on app load, then remove it/adjust it when you need to.
I usually place something like
this.router.navigate(["myPage"]);
in the app.ts and change it as needed.
For style changes you can make adjustments in the browser dev window while inspecting elements with no reload time, then "finalise" them in your app when you finished tweaking. I do this by clicking inspect on the element I need to adjust.
