Needs work

This looks to be a quick Mac Catalyst port of an existing iPad app. As such, its not quite ready for prime-time.

Things that are intuitive on an iPad don't always work so well on the Mac. The app occasionally gets stuck in the editor and there is no obvious way to get back into display mode, as the editor's cancel button is dim.

Paging left and right are not obvious and the app sometimes gets stuck on the last page. This would benefit from a centered paging widget.

Menu items are not dimmed when they are not available, as one would expect on the Mac. For example the settings items are not available in edit mode, but since they are not dimmed, they appear to be non-functional.

I see huge potential in this app, but it needs some work to become a fist class Mac app.

Developer Response ,

Yes. Definitely a pretty quick port of the iPad app. I’m not seeing much interest in it, but I will look into your issues. Thanks for the feedback!

Awesome, and totally frustrating!

Be prepared to make it work with total trial and error. There are no resources to help you figure it out at all. And especially the configuration work is just not a standard UI.

It's worth it, but geez what a PITA.

Love it!

I use this all the time and have it on all my devices. I run a mac on board, run it on my iPad and my iPhone. Love how customizable it is and I have spent the time to make it work on board. It is central to monitoring and controlling systems onboard.
