Does not work with Catalina
mantoothnation
Worked like a charm until I upgraded my early 2015 MacBook Pro to Catalina. Now the desktop background will display on the extended screen and you can move the mouse pointer over but not drag and drop any windows, folders, files, etc. Tried reinstalling host software on MacBook and received an error message telling me application was not compatible with current version of Mac OS. So there you go.
Doesn’t work with macOS Catalina

This doesn’t work with macOS Catalina but doesn’t say so in the app description. I want my money back and I plan to file a complaint with Apple over this as well as the BBB an whoever else I need to.
Do not purchase if you are on Catalina

The host says it works on 10.10-10.14+, but it does not install. What a disappointment.
DO NOT BUY
bad app, dont buy
This is an awful app and scam! This app does not even work. Worst $10 and I want my money back. So many better free or cheaper apps, use XDISPLAY, it’s free and much better than this bs.
Do not buy.

But this app for a dual display from my MacBook Pro to my IPad Pro. Can’t download the host application at all because it has a “virus”.
WARNING DOES NOT WORK WITH HIGH SIERRA 10.13.4-6

*WARNING* you guys need to put information on this app about certain OS that is not compatible. Instead of trapping people to waste $10. Shame on you guys. If I could give it a zero I would strictly for not educating potential app buyers. ****
Host software does not work
Jai Langoju
I have macOS Catalina and the host software does not even install.
Disappointed
MakeItWorkPlease!
Hate Now Because I purchased AirDisplay but n/compatible w/current Mac OS system. Response from Avatron: Air Display Host works great on Catalina once it's installed, but if you try to install Air Display while Catalina is running, macOS will block our installer. We are working on a fix for that. Along w/a 10-step instruction to disable or what Avatron calls a workaround. Don't launch it if it is n/ready to USE on the fly, which is why I bought it in the first place! Waiting to see if I can get a refund . . .
