Works very well

Could you please add a zoom in features or allow it to stretch to iPad size edge to edge please

Good for Raspberry Pi

A simple app to use with a generic (Papeaso) USB-C video capture card on my iPad. Now I can use the iPad as an HDMI display for the Raspi when I need one.

Awesome

It works!

brilliant little app

I was wondering how I could use my iPad as a monitor with HDMI. I am travelling with an elgato cam link and a usb to usb-c adapter anyways. Works brilliantly. No fuss, the app detects the cam link right away.

Yes, there is a slight lag (this is using a hardware capture card after all), but it is very usable.

Love it!
