Turn your iPhone or iPad into a dual-display web renderer with full remote control capabilities. Web Sync lets you display web pages on both your device and an external display (HDMI, AirPlay, or AV adapter), either mirrored or independent. Perfect for digital signage, IoT dashboards, and interactive kiosks, it gives you complete control over what’s shown on each screen from anywhere. Key Features • Display separate web pages on your device and an external screen • Switch between mirrored and independent display modes • Control remotely through WebHooks or the Remote Control Portal • Change URLs, refresh pages, and toggle auto-refresh • Enable web inspector and debug your web pages and dashboards • Adjust brightness, sound, and UI visibility • Send speech messages and capture screenshots remotely • Enable Kiosk Mode for locked-down interactive displays Use Cases • Digital Signage: Show menus, announcements, or live dashboards on external monitors and update them remotely. • IoT Dashboards: Display smart home or system metrics on a dedicated screen with auto-refresh intervals. • Interactive Kiosks: Use your iPad as a control surface and show related content on an external display, for hotels, events, or information desks. Privacy First Web Sync collects no personal information. The only data ever transmitted consists of screenshots of web displays, and only when you trigger the screenshot function from the Remote Control Portal. These images are used solely to display back to you. Local Control You can use Web Sync entirely on your device without any remote connection. Configure URLs, refresh pages, switch modes, and more, all locally from the app’s Settings. Kiosk Mode and remote control require a one-time in-app purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Web Sync at 5.0 against WebView's 4.3. WebView's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Web Sync sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. WebView asks for nothing beyond the download.
Web Sync holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WebView has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
