## Review summary

Users praise Duet Air as a convenient way to turn an iPad into a high-quality second monitor with low latency, and for teleprompter/mirror use; many also call it a solid Sidecar-like option for PC↔iOS. However, reviews repeatedly flag stability problems (crashes, disconnects), plus a costly, subscription-heavy licensing model and mixed wireless connectivity. Audio sharing often doesn’t work, and updates can introduce new issues. When it runs smoothly, it’s powerful, but recurring reliability and pricing concerns limit its appeal.

### Pros

- Turns the iPad into a high-quality second monitor / mirror display for PC/Mac, with good image quality and low latency (especially when wired).
- Useful for teleprompter use thanks to mirror/second-screen functionality.
- Serves as a strong Sidecar alternative for PC↔iOS, boosting productivity.
- Performs well when it’s working, with crisp visuals and low latency.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and reliability problems; app often stops working or disconnects.
- High price and confusing licensing; per-device purchases and subscription; difficult to cancel or obtain refunds.
- Connectivity issues, especially with wireless setups; occasional failures to connect or maintain a connection.
- Audio sharing feature does not work in some cases.
- Performance and behavior vary across updates; newer versions can break compatibility or connectivity.
