This is, hands down, the best application of its type for both macOS and iPadOS.If you’re looking for an app that allows you to connect a capture card, or UVC-compatible HDMI connector, you’ve found it. You’re probably most concerned about visual quality and latency. This app has the same or better visual quality as the best alternatives, however, it has lower latency at higher quality on my devices(on M2 iPad Pro and M4 Pro MacBook Pro—wow, that’s a lot of “pro”s).The app offers many resolution options in two classes, “high” and “ultra.” You can change these on the fly to find what works for you, but I found 1080p60 Ultra to run perfectly well on my device. It also has a color correcting option, which adapts to colors being inaccurate.There’s also an upscaling feature, which other apps also have, but this app gives 3 options (Low, Medium, High) rather than just “on” or “off.” Personally, I prefer low or medium upscaling, since high amplifies the visual noise from the capture card.Audio works flawlessly out of the box, which is not at all true of many similar apps.You may be dissuaded by the fact that there’s no free version with an IAP of the full version. Do not be dissuaded. This is literally the best app, and you won’t have to worry about some subscription fee or price change in the future. The developer (as of 11/2024) continues to update the app regularly, even reworking certain features or adding new ones.Tl;dr - Yes, you should refund the ones you’ve been having issues with (even after buying the full version IAP) and buy this one instead. It is better in every way and is the most likely to solve all the issues you had with those other options.

Thanks for your feedback. I have implemented super-resolution with super-sampling in my internal version, which will be a historic breakthrough.
