Ratings and Reviews
At last Portrait View
Side Car is free but Duet Air goes one better - it extends the Mac Desktop in Portrait View. I use my iPad to view music scores with a number of apps but they are all useless in landscape, the image is way too small. But with Duet Air I can finally see my music scores in Portrait. This is in addition to the many features Duet Air offers. Highly recommended
A struggle to cancel a subscription
So after a year of having Duet Air I have been notified that my subscription will auto renew and that if I want to cancel I must do so within a certain time limit. As I have not used the program for over 6 months I clicked the link in the email which turned out to be a dead link, I then logged into my Duet account which in turn had no option to cancel my subscription. It turns out that to cancel your subscription you need to enter your settings on your apple device and click your profile then subscriptions. This would be awkward and difficult if I no longer had an Apple Device, nobody should be made to jump through hoops to stop money being taken from their account. Thankfully after a fair while of working out how to do it I finally cancelled so apologies for the snotty emails but seriously, add an option either in the website account management or in the app itself to make things easier for your customers. You can pay me later for the advice when you find that you get less one star reviews. I have updated my star rating since my initial review.

Super sorry for all the trouble you went through the cancellation process - we also appreciate your feedback.
It’s ok
I’ve been trying this out for a few days now, and it is generally ok. The quality and responsiveness is superb, and the 60 FPS feels like 60 FPS, which is great.
An issue i did encounter in most of my uses though, was that after around ~ 10 mins of sustained usage, the quality of the stream would be absolutely terrible.
I am aware that my upload speed is less than ideal, but seeing it works absolutely fine for 10 - 15 mins, then is awful, i doubt internet speed is the issue here.
My next issue isn’t an issue with this app, but an issue with Windows and 2nd display support. When using this device in the highest resolution available, you will have to move your mouse up or down on the iPad screen to be travel back over your main screen. What I mean by this is that you will only be able to travel between screens if you move the mouse across in the middle, top or bottom of the iPad screen, rather than anywhere on it.
Overall though, when it works it’s mostly fine, but the for sustained usage it begins to become unusable after a while, and i have to refresh the connection every 10 - 15 mins for it work properly again.
