Mirror image from main display on your iPad / iPhone: comes in handy when you need to share your desktop with your audience. Keep in mind that iDisplay allows to connect multiple devices to one Mac! Yes, lots of them! Many colleges use iDisplay.

    Nice find

    Just installed on my Mac and so for so good

  • cnut on 18/07/2017 - 19:19

    It's free and all, but most ratings are 1 star and leave a lot to be desired.

  • Parentheses on 18/07/2017 - 19:35

    Chrome remote desktop is much, much better.

    I use duet. Paid $15 for it, great app.

    Can't comment on this one - but it seems like it's the same functionality.

    • venomx2 on 18/07/2017 - 20:59

      that sounds like a good deal, currently costs $22.99.

      This is the same. I grabbed it just so I have both as an option.

    Second duet. Much better!

    Third duet. Works great, well reviewed. Got it here at half price. Think it's 25% off at the moment

  • jasecutler on 18/07/2017 - 19:55

    Would love to get more feedback on this app from you guys

  • FireRunner on 18/07/2017 - 20:09

    Was looking for exactly this! Thanks

    Dammit… I just bought Duet for $15 !!!!

    • nimnomnimy on 19/07/2017 - 14:56

      log in and request a refund. i did it after i found out they want to charge you $28 a year to use the pencil for photoshop (literally the only reason i bought the app) what a joke

    Lucky I didn't shell out any money for Duet yet :P, so this is a great find.

  • ShootingStar3388 on 18/07/2017 - 22:17

    Thanks OP, this works a treat and I have Duet installed too, but like the convenience of iDisplay with its wireless connectivity unlike Duet which uses a cable….

    • defiant on 18/07/2017 - 23:09

      Yeah, I love duet but one issue I have is that when I am away from a power socket, cable connection means that my MacBook with be always charging my iPad (killing my MacBook battery)

  • Nobz on 18/07/2017 - 22:50

    thanks OP

    Haven't used duet, but tried this. Connected super easy with mac both over wifi and usb.. Nowhere near the advertised 60fps for me though. More like ~15fps. Can't complain being free though! Thanks op!

  • oldhippy on 18/07/2017 - 23:27

    Will give it a run. Thanks OP. Thanks also to the people for the Duet recommendations.

  • [Deactivated] on 18/07/2017 - 23:43

    Saw the review which only got 2/5, but can't complain when it is FREE!! :D

  • [Deactivated] on 18/07/2017 - 23:52

    Got it. Nice find.

  • kalt19 on 19/07/2017 - 08:12

    I want the reverse. I remember being able to access my iPhone remotely, was this because it was jail broken or did there used to be a partial Remote Desktop like app that I could remote in to my iPhone and send messages, ect?

  • anuar on 19/07/2017 - 10:13

    nice app thanks op

  • htytony on 19/07/2017 - 10:21

    Can any one still see the desktop icons once accessing through iPhone?

    I've got an iPhone and a Windows PC. When I've downloaded the Windows PC application installer, my antivirus (Symantec) has quarantined it.

  • Bobruub on 19/07/2017 - 16:48

    doesn't work on my work setup, installed the local client, via USB and the app but just sits there trying to connect. perhaps it also needs to be on the same network (which it isn't, no BYOD at my office)

    Duet works on the same setup perfectly.

    • 18 on 19/07/2017 - 22:00

      Same issue but after I rebooted my Mac, it worked.

  • rinco on 19/07/2017 - 21:12

    I usually use TwomonUSB, mostly because it supports my ancient iPad. But also because it runs on Mac and Windows and supports Android tablets as well. Website http://www.easynlight.com/en/twomonusb/

    But I'll grab this anyway thanks!

    Just tried it.

    It's absolute rubbish compared to Duet.

    Nowhere near as clear and lags quite a bit… Better than nothing but paying $15 for Duet is much better value than using this for free.

    • gimli on 22/07/2017 - 21:26

      how is $15 better value then $0 if you think it is better than nothing.

      Obviously if you thought you would have to pay to use this app its a different story. Otherwise you can't get better value then free mate.

      • jv on 22/07/2017 - 21:42

        how is $15 better value then $0

        because there is no comparison in the difference in quality. Spending the $15 is more than worth it if you need the extra screen.

        • gimli on 22/07/2017 - 21:47

          value is how much you get per $ spent.
          I'm not talking about worth.

        • jv on 22/07/2017 - 21:48

          @Gimli:

          value is how much you get per $ spent.

          you have a very limited understating of 'value' then…

          value ˈvaljuː noun
          1. the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something.

        • gimli on 22/07/2017 - 22:00

          @jv: but here we are talking about value relative to price.

        • jv on 22/07/2017 - 22:03

          @Gimli:

          but here we are talking about value relative to price.

          you are, not we…

        • gimli on 22/07/2017 - 22:04

          @jv: but if you are comparing value of two items you have to take the price into account, mate.
          its common sense.
          i apologise for assuming you would follow common sense

        • jv on 22/07/2017 - 22:07

          @Gimli:

          comparing value of two items you have to take the price into account

          Price is only one component of value…

          After using both products, there is no comparison in quality.

          $15 for Duet, is better value than $0 for iDisplay.

        • gimli on 22/07/2017 - 22:09

          @jv:

          ok is you say so JV

          you're a funny guy

  • nzthunderboy on 23/07/2017 - 13:24

    on Iphone: Connection available. Trying to connect, it says "connection not allowed"

    Anyone having similar issues?
