Requires a USB connection!

Don't fall for their misleading "requires iOS 7 or later" sys req. I want my money back!
Almost perfect
Boyeen
I'm very impressed with this app. I sometimes need a bigger screen for my MacBook when on the road and I've tried a number of options to connect with an iPad Air and now a new iPad Pro... I am a longtime user of Duet, the most popular 'wired' second screen app but I became disillusioned with their inability to handle Virtual Machine windows. That app can't register the mouse position correctly on a VMWare window, it's off by a huge margin, making the app useless. At first, they said a fix was coming, then they just decided it is not supported at all. Disappointing considering what they charge. Then I discovered the funnily named YamDisplay and I d/l'd the free trial version which worked perfectly with both Mac and VMWare Windows. So, I bought it and I'm delighted. Yes, Duet has faster screen updating, noticeably so, hence my 4 stars for this review, but neither of them will display watchable video to an iPad Pro at a reasonable resolution. On the other hand, both are just fine for normal application usage. Both have 30fps and 60fps modes, and I actually prefer the interface of the Yam Display Mac app to the Duet one. Sadly because they are each adding kext extensions or whatever, I can't have both Duet and YamDisplay installed on my Mac, so goodbye Duet and hello Yam Display. For my needs, it wasn't even a close decision. I recommend Yam Display enthusiastically. PS: I'm an app developer myself but no connection to either vendor except as a customer.
Amazing!

Tried the biggest competitors, but only this app allow to try it for free and can offer uncompromising performance and ability to use iPad in it's native resolution (I use iPad Pro 12.9). Thank you guys! Highly recommend this app for anyone who needs to use iPad as external display for your Mac.
Mirroring doesn't work

When I check the option to mirror my laptop it doesn't work. This is why I bought the app i.e. It's useless to me
Super good. Amazing price.

Is it perfect? No. is it great? Yes. There is a slight lag. The wired version has a bit less lag than the WiFi version. It is great as a second monitor to park a window. For CAD work the iPad monitor is a bit laggy. But for $10, what a deal. Seeing this app makes me wonder why Apple doesn't include it as a standard feature of IOS and macOS, but it's probably just that Apple has forgotten that it makes PCs.
Works great; Better than Duet

This app is great. It works just as you'd expect. Not all resolutions are equally responsive, so if you see people complaining about lag, know that tuning resolution can solve this. This lag is just a factor of the hardware limitations of the USB connection, something that will affect all apps like this in the same way. I've also used Duet display, which is more expensive than Yam, but Yam is much better. Yam has more resolution options, moderately better performance, and support for split-screen multitasking on supported iPads, a great feature that Duet lacks. If you don't need to use this with windows, I highly suggest Yam over Duet.
Not worth the money

Free version seemed to work ok. As soon as I bought it, it has killed my laptop twice. It was a total waste of money.
YAM vs DUET
larrylandseattle
Ive have duet and loved it except it has this issue with wacom where it ill not let the pen be used on a newer Wacom tablet and it really was getting frustrating. Well no more. Yam works with the wacom tablet 2017 no prblem. That works great for me:). Thanks Yam
