PS5 MONITOR !

EVERYONE LISTEN! It’s a lag less monitor called your iPad! I bought it cause it said it could turn your iPad into a screen for your ps5. And it did! I swear to you it did! That’s the only thing I’m judging it by. Features mean nothing. Control schemes are meaningless. What matters is that I now use my iPad Pro 13 inch as a monitor for my ps5 and when I save footage from me owning kn3wbz in street fighter 6 it saves straight to my photos. Sweet!

App has some issues

I would like to say it functions as it should capture wise, but compared to other apps when running a call like discord it completely freezes and is unresponsive. At the same time I can’t hear any sounds from lets say my nintendo switch 2 unless you leave the call. Hopefully this is fixed as it would be a huge plus
