Incredibly Useful

Luna Display is great! The choice to use a hardware dongle on the computer side leads to a very stable experience that doesn’t seem as flaky as alternatives like Duet. And interestingly you can actually use Luna AND the latest version of Duet at the same time if you happen to have multiple iPads available - so I can basically carry around two extra monitors in a laptop bag, which is pretty amazing.

As others have said, there is a tiny bit of lag when the display rapidly changes, such as when scrolling, but it quickly disappears. I find I can tune out to this pretty quickly, and I generally use Luna as a secondary display so it’s not a showstopper. The good thing about Luna though is that when the display settles to being static again it looks perfect. This is different to Duet, where there is a constant look of “JPEG compression” even when what’s onscreen is completely static. And Luna is the only one that currently fills the screen completely on the 11 inch iPad Pro.

I must also say that the UX for the Luna desktop app and iOS app is much better than Duet as well, Luna has really paid attention to the details here.

Great work guys, this is an invaluable tool for people on the go, and even at home for one more screen too.

Brilliant!

I’ve been messing around with a lot of other apps to try and do similar things and this works the best by far! Seems like the other non-five star rating are due to network traffic issue? Hardly the app’s fault...

Doesn’t work on public WiFi

If you’re looking for a dual screen solution while on the road, this is not suitable. It works fine if you’re on your home/work WiFi, but getting it to work on public WiFi is impossible and it doesn’t work at all and if you’re thinking you could be on a 4G connection and somehow the red hardware device would create a local WiFi network to connect to the iPad then you will be disappointed... it doesn’t work like that. You can use a USB cable to connect your MacBook to your iPad, but you also need to connect the little red luna hardware device so you have to use up two ports. Not ideal for me because when I’m at home or work I don’t need to use my iPad as a second screen, I only need to do this while on the road. I find duet display a better solution because there is no additional hardware device, just connect with your USB cable and only use up one port on your MacBook.
