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

*2026-07-27, version 2.1.5*

The product works but with the “new bug fixes” it now randomly disconnects, freezes and opens popups on the computer without reason. Please fix, it was so much better before

### 4/5 — Дискриминация айфонов(

*2026-06-15, version 2.1.5*

Само по себе приложение отличное но за 20$…

### 5/5 — Лучшее приложение для того чтобы старый планшет сделать вторым монитором

*2026-03-25*

Пользоваться ранее и очень жаль что нет каких-нибудь способов поддержать проект, очень бы хотелось отправить монету создателям, самая стабильная картинка по локалке без лагов и не лагающий интерфейс многого стоят

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback!

### 5/5 — free small monitor

### 5/5 — Best free software second to none iPad as Second Monitor

*2026-02-28, version 2.1.3*

Works seamlessly, extraordinarily simple to use, works without any hassle, most importantly this is the best free software to make iPad second monitor

### 4/5 — good

*2026-02-27, version 2.1.3*

IT Good I use this for a few weeks with my iPad Air 4 It work amazing all tho do not recommend For Gameing On your Devices With this I use It for 1080P videos And Watching streams And Haveing Epic Games And Steam On There And I would call it a 3 monitor because Windows Detects it And You can of course Can See And I Am A Tech YouTuber Recomend It AND USE THIS FOR WORK And supports stylus pen And The worst part is it takes a few seconds if you’re connected or wirelessly Bluetooth or Lan or Wi-Fi connected it takes a few minutes or seconds But Wired Is not laggy not hard but the resolution gets on my nerves That it

### 5/5 — Seamless & Easy to operate Lenovo on my Macfff

*2026-02-23, version 2.1.3*

I wanted to connect my Apple Cinema Display to the garbage Lenovo Thinkpad (which my employer requires me to use). The Lenovo refused to recognize the display. So I wanted to my Mac as an intermediary display, then connect the Mac to the Apple Cinema Display. To this end, I spent a half-hour fighting with a godawful Microsoft product called Windows Remote Desktop - which has since been renamed “Windows App” (the Microsoft Marketing team deserves a gold medal for that exceptional rebranding effort). No success. Then I found Spacedesk and in under one minute, I had the Lenovo screen up on my Mac. And not only does it allow my Mac to serve as a display for the Lenovo, it even allows me to use the Mac to operate the Lenovo, just as if I was using the Lenovo directly. This in itself is a huge win - I can’t avoid the displeasure of having to use the atrocious Windows software, but at least I can avoid the further humiliation of having to use the hardware monstrosity known as the Lenovo Thinkpad. And, of course, I can now view it all on my Apple Cinema Display. Thank you, Spacedesk!

### 2/5 — works enough

*2026-02-18, version 2.1.3*

works good, especially if you draw. I cant duplicate the screen anymore though, so it lost most of its useful-ness to me.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work from MacBook Pro to android

*2026-07-23, version 2.1.5*

Doesn’t work from MacBook Pro to android

### 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.

### 1/5 — Black and white now

*2026-05-15, version 2.1.5*

It was free with colour display now they switched to to just black and white if it’s a settings let me know otherwise boo was a great app not so much now

### 1/5 — Why doesn’t it support Mac?

*2026-04-27, version 2.1.3*

Many people need to extend their Mac screen through it as well.

### 1/5 — Халтура

*2026-02-15*

По Wi-Fi лагает, а подключение iOS по USB недоступно

### 1/5 — Worst damn app

*2026-02-08, version 2.1.3*

Doesn’t work at all, what a waste of time

### 1/5 — Dangerous for you PC. Do not use.

*2026-01-12, version 2.1.3*

Hello, I tried the app after multiple check ups online to see if it was safe, everything said yes. I optimistically try, thinking I could use smth other than my screenless graphic tablet. The MOMENT my iPad finally connects, the PC completely freaked out. The mouse wouldn’t work, everything froze until it completely turned off and reopened frozen and the force restart didn’t work. Eventually the PC shut down and didn’t turn on until 5 minutes later. Never use this app. Worst.

### 1/5 — Not updated doesn’t work

I’m so annoyed, I come to find this app doesn’t even work, it won’t let me use it because the iOS vr isn’t updated

### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing! For free too. Doing gods work

*2026-07-01, version 2.1.5*

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.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2026-06-29, version 2.1.5*

This software genuinely works great, I’m extending from a windows, would recommend 100%

### 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.

### 5/5 — Blender Buddy

*2026-06-08, version 2.1.5*

So, I’ve been looking for a way to use my IPad as a tablet for my computer for a while. This program is that! Free for non commercial use, looks like the license is cheap for when I’m ready to buy the commercial license (16 USD), and easy to connect! Sure, setting up its counterpart on the PC was a little confusing, but once set up it’s as easy as opening Spacedesk on the computer and tablet, then connecting. It’s smooth, easy, pretty unlaggy, and allow me to use Blender with my IPad’s touch screen and my Apple Pencil’s pressure sensitivity! Maybe not for everyone, but I sure love it!

### 5/5 — Пока доволен

*2026-05-09*

Бесплатно можно сделать айфон вторым монитором

### 5/5 — Nice

*2026-04-26, version 2.1.3*

Pretty good if you ask me

### 5/5 — Works so well

*2026-04-08, version 2.1.3*

This is the first app i found that actually works like sidecar but for Windows and you don’t have to pay anything and it works way better than something like Duet Display. 10/10
