### 2/5 — Ruined by most recent update

Easy simple gets it done. The best app.doest take up too much of the cpu either and over lan no plugins. Putting my old iPad as a thir monitor.

### 1/5 — .

*2026-07-01, version 2.1.5*

I tried to use this app for osu and I feel like I got scammed. The app is extremely laggy so I don’t recommend using it for osu.

### 5/5 — Works Perfect!!

*2026-06-10, version 2.1.5*

This has been a game changer when I need more screen space when using my laptop, especially since I’m using the iPad Pro 12.9 as my second display. Highly recommend! So far I have had no issues using it  wired or wireless.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-06-10, version 2.1.5*

Great tool

### 5/5 — Hover detection

*2026-06-09, version 2.1.5*

The app itself is really good and works pretty well with cable and it would be awesome if they added hover detection for iPad’s pen so for digital art you could only look at your monitor

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-06-08, version 2.1.5*

Could not recommend enough. I use it on my iPad mini 2 which I had bought really cheap off eBay and this app works great on it. I cannot recommend this app enough to everyone it works great and works well with a cheap tablet like the very iPad I am writing this on. Thank you for keeping old machines going and creating such a great app.
