NETWORK CONNECTIVITY

Using this on windows 10 over WiFi. Was very easy to setup. But the frame rate is extremely choppy probably less than 15-20 fps and I have a very strong wireless network at home. You advertise 60 FPS ... maybe only on usb? Which is only for Mac I guess. Duet display works overall a million times better, but sadly duet display conflicted with one of my drivers so I had to uninstall. Was hoping this app would be the answer
Love version 6

I use iDisplay on a daily basis now with my iPad. It's super convenient, lag free, and doesn't really impact my Macs CPU. Most of the time I use it with the lightning cable, but sometimes the WiFi features comes in handy, for example when I want to show something to my colleague, I just take my iPad with me.Highly recommended!!
Developer Response
Thanks for your feedback! Glad to know iDislpay works great for you.
Bought it when it first came out, barely used

When this app first came out I bought it right away and used it a little bit. It was vaguely useful for its intended purpose at the time, but its performance could have been better. Every few years I find myself needing its functionality again but it gets worse and worse. At any given time it might not support standard iPad resolutions, or the performance will be lousy, or it might not even connect at all. And most recently, it caused my iMac to get incredibly unstable just by being installed - the .kext was causing my window server to freeze and my kernel to gobble up all my memory even though the app wasn’t even running!And their tech support never even responds to messages. Avoid this piece of garbage at all costs.
Visual Flickering, Slow Main Display
Wribbin
It now works on high sierra, but there are a couple annoying issues (not unique to this product).The header of the safari window flickers. That is various rectangular shaped blocks (random in size & shape) turn dark gray, then back to light gray... Very irritating...Also, the frame rate on my normal monitor noticeably drops when iDisplay is active...I can state for a fact that these exact issues occurred with a competing product on the app store, so the issue is not unique to iDisplay. I can also attest that whatever the root issue is, I’m able to reproduce these issues on another model mac with another model iOS device, so it’s not a specific hardware issue...
