User reviews

Inconsistent, poorly made

It used to work somewhat consistently but now it pretty much never works. Can’t rely on a product that 7 out of 10 times fails to do what it was designed to do. Also, when it does work it’s not the best. It slows down Photoshop immensely and it doesn’t let you view images at full width. I do not recommend.

Garbage

Doesn’t work.

Was great when it worked

Tried connecting through WiFi, get blue check on both laptop and device, no image. Tried usb, blue check on both devices, no image. Checked plug-in settings in PS and updated, no image.

It’s a shame, I like this app especially since adobe decided to remove CC preview. The colorblind options were great. But it had one job, and it failed at it.

Great w/ Sketch

Only been using for a few days, but so far, this appears to be a much more reliable alternative to Sketch’s terrible Mirror app.

Update: Been using Skala for the last few months and still loving it! So helpful!

never worked again since 3 yrs ago
