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

App stopped working

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

No signal

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

Not working with iPad

I can’t get this to work with my iPad

Needs work

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

Should add scale to fit

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

Doesn’t work

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

Crashes, error 12743.

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.

False Marketing

The does not work for ipad 10th generation I used multiple usb c adapters to convert the el gato and I never got a signal.

About cam link

Do not work on anything very bad

Unreliable and loses work

I can’t use this anymore - it’s too unstable and crashing with the same OSStatus error others are reporting. I am having this error whether I’m saving to Photos, iCloud Drive, or On My iPad. Sometimes it happens after 5 seconds, 5 minutes, 15 minutes. I’ve verified my Security settings are set to allow all of this access, yet this still crashes. Unfortunately this leaves me with no other choice than to use other apps as it’s blocking me proceeding with my project.

Does Not Work With Xbox Series S

The user manual states you need to connect HDMI IN from the Neo into the Xbox Series S. The series S does not have an HDM1 IN port.

Completely broken

Absolutely nothing works. It gives an error whenever you try recording more than two seconds worth (OSStatus error -12743). This happens if you save to the iPad directly or on an external device (both APFS and exFAT). If you do listen back to the no-more-than-two-seconds of a video that does save, there is no audio. The pass-through audio also doesn’t work. Setup asks you about audio input but that setting is not respected. Running on an M1 iPad Pro

Supported devices

How come the 4K60 S+ is not compatible

App crashing because of audio

Need to be able to record microphone and elgato at the same time.
I game and the elgato audio captures my Xbox but I cannot capture my microphone I also have hooked up to the m4 iPad. If I open the Xbox app and try to use the microphone on there at the same time the elgato app is open, the elgato app instantly crashes everytime until the microphone is not in use on any other app including voice memos

Useless

It doesn’t recognize any devices. Not even Elgato devices. Why is this even here?

Great, but could improve.

It works amazing as intended for this iPad, but when it comes to using legato Chat Link pro, I had to use my MacBook Pro to change settings from hdmi to analog for it to work for both MacBook and iPad. That feature should be added to this app as well instead of using a pc to do it.

This app makes recording a breeze, but…

I love how easy everything is on the app but we are missing features and one of the most crucial features we dont have is the ability to record HDR like the PC app does, for that reason alone I will give this 4 stars and if they ever do HDR recording on the ipad then I bump it to a 5 star rating!
