LostWinds Stuck in Lower Melodias City - please help (LW2 on iPad)

Hi, enjoying LostWinds 2 - its great - but can't get up the vertical shaft immediately after the giant glorb - on possibly the lowest point i Lower Melodias city. I've tried all combinations of standing on a tornado, slipstreaming and gusting I can think of, but just can't make it to the top left ledge. Theres a lighter brown coloured patch on the ground at the base of the shaft, but no plants, tornado-drilling or watering with rain-cloud seems to work. Any suggestions, please?

Here's the guide for that section, it should get you going:

LOWER MELODIA CITY
As soon as you enter this area, use Gust to flick the nearby lever on the wall. This will change the direction of the see-saw over on the left. Head to the next level by passing over the see-saw.
Up here are a couple of Fire Glorbs. Throw them into the water on the right. Dive to the bottom of the pool and the camera will pan out. This will allow you to use Gust on the lever below, thus changing the direction of the see-saw. Take the nearby Wind Stone with you as you go back over the see-saw.
As you go down the second see-saw, you will notice a switch on the left.
Ignore this for now and continue on your way. Use the Wind Stone to deal with the Fire Glorbs here.
Soon you will reach a crystal in the wall. Vortex the Wind Stone to create a resonance and this will cause a couple of platform to briefly move out of the wall. Gust up here and you will see another lever on the wall. Pull it and the direction of the second see-saw will change.
Drop down and head to the right, taking the Stone with you. Here you will see a Poyak. Get the Stone onto the higher platform before using the Poyak to get there yourself. Go along the see-saw and put the Wind Stone on the switch. This will open the door to the right.
Head through the door and burn the barrier with the torch. Before moving downwards, burn the Poyak using a Slipstream. You will now have a Seed that you can take with you.
Drop down the platforms and you will land in a pool. In the bottom is a Melodia Idol. Leave the water and you will see the Garb from earlier!
Looks like he didn't die on impact. Watch out for the Glorbs that he throws and lure him into jumping into the water. This will destroy him instantly.
Take the seed over to the left and plant it in the ground. Send a cloud over from the water to make the sapling grow. Use the Poyak to reach the higher floor before leaving the area.

Edit: Moved thread to support forum.

Is there a glitch with the iOS version particularly with the iPhone? I am now at this part of the game and there is not a chance my screen is responding to whatever flicking and pinching I'm doing to create the vortex with the rock at the Wind Stone after defeating the Fire Glorbs right down the see- saw ramp. I was able to perform vortexes before but here seems to be a problem. I checked if the way I'm doing it is wrong but it's right. Some help here?

My bad this time, I was misremembering the gust time controls, which probably won't help you. I can't think of any reason why you can't use vortex here, but can elsewhere. The code is the same.

Do you have Assistive Touch enabled?

No I am not a fan of Assistive Touch so I don't use it. Hmm...this seems to irk me a whole lot. I haven't been able to play this game since yesterday and I'm starting to have withdrawal symptoms. I wouldn't wish to stop playing completely. I love this game!

If you go back to a previous level does vortex work again?

And just to make sure you are usingh the correct gesture - you are pinching your finger and thumb towards each other?
