[Screen Extend] Use your phone or tablet as a secondary display on-the-go for dual-display convenience. This feature expands your space and can be exceptionally useful when you need to cross-reference multiple documents or visuals. Multitasking has never been easier. [Unify Control] Unify Control lets you control different devices and transfer files from one PC with a single mouse and keyboard, across different OSes, so you don’t need to switch between devices. * Support Wi-Fi and/or USB to connect mobile devices to the PC. * GlideX mobile app must be used together with GlideX for Windows (Win 10/11) [File Transfer] Simply drag and drop to send files to other PCs or mobile devices in the blink of an eye.

Verdict

The call

CADIO and ASUS GlideX both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 92% of ASUS GlideX's written reviews are positive against 0% of CADIO's. ASUS GlideX also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). CADIO's advantage is iOS requirement (13 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CADIO sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and ASUS GlideX sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CADIO holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ASUS GlideX has 2.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of CADIO's written reviews are positive against 92% of ASUS GlideX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CADIO ships an update every 4 weeks, ASUS GlideX every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
