8 of 25Need to update to support new iPad models
With an app on the Mac and an app on the iPad the screen is extended with a USB-C to Lightning cable. A tiny lag is the only noticeable thing, but now I have two stellar displays using a 2017 MacBook Pro with an iPad Air 2.
Well I have an iPad mini 2 lying around and this app was advertised as a solution to extend your desktop in your Mac. Unfortunately it doesn’t do that on my M1 MacBookPro. Only mirrors my monitor, which I do not need. I reached out to support and it’s non-existent. Do not waste your money on this.
Use to work great but now it doesn’t. Latest OS on MacBook does not work just shows connecting but never connects
Because it needs more improvement and I want my money back!
If you buy this app for using a sub-monitor, it’s not bad. If you expect performance like a cintiq, just buy cintiq.
For a while this app was good and allowed me to work on my iPad and use Lightroom as a touch interface - as of late, my iPad now just hangs on connecting even over USB. - DEVS!! Can you please update!!!
Please update it ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
