### 1/5 — No

*2026-02-11, version 1.2.2*

No

### 5/5 — PS5 MONITOR	!

*2025-12-16, version 1.2.2*

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!

### 3/5 — App has some issues

*2025-06-07, version 1.2.2*

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

### 1/5 — App stopped working

*2025-04-25, version 1.2.2*

My neo used to work with this app but decided to stop completely

### 1/5 — No signal

*2025-03-27, version 1.2.2*

It’s not working with new iPad 11Th gen I thought it could be cable problem but it is working perfectly fine with pc but not with iPad I don’t know why

### 1/5 — Not working with iPad

*2025-03-19, version 1.2.2*

I can’t get this to work with my iPad

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2025-02-28, version 1.2.2*

App is really unstable also I have a 4K X and a I pad with better quality resolution then 1080p I should be able to record higher

### 5/5 — Should add scale to fit

*2025-01-12, version 1.2.2*

All works great except for sometimes having to force close app to unfreeze screen when starting a new connection. I wish there were an option to scale to fit the image because I use this app to stream my Switch to iPad and it leaves black bars on the top and bottom

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-01-01, version 1.2.1*

I’ve tried 2 different iPads and multiple usb cables that I know are 3.1 yet the software doesn’t detect my HD60 S+ (that works on my desktop pc). Useless rubbish

### 1/5 — Crashes, error 12743.

*2024-12-22, version 1.2.1*

I have a 13 inch IPad Pro with the M4 processor, fully updated.  I have allowed all permissions, and am unable to reliably record anything either to the local storage or an external drive.  It seems that recording at 720p takes longer to crash than 1080p.  Sometimes the clip saves, but usually it just crashes, leaving me with the error I referenced above.
