Summary

User reviews for the app present a highly mixed but generally negative sentiment. While many users appreciate its core functionality to transform iPads into external monitors, serving as a superior alternative to Apple's Sidecar and offering a cost-effective solution, significant frustration stems from various issues. A major point of contention is the app's pricing model, with complaints about misleading free trials, unexpected charges, high costs, and difficulty unsubscribing. Users frequently report technical problems including unreliable wireless and wired connectivity, performance lags, and specific bugs such as keyboard/mouse input issues on certain iPad models (e.g., 10.9 inch), crashes on iPhone 15 Pro with iOS 17.4, and incompatibility with iPadOS 17.
