User Reviews

Overall sentiment is mixed to negative. The app’s core value is a novel multi-window web-app workspace for iPad with external monitors, which some users find useful and reasonably priced. However, widespread concerns include extremely limited native-app support, reliance on internal web apps, lack of updates and support, and usability glitches. Many reviewers feel it isn’t worth the price given current limitations, though a subset of users appreciate the concept and its potential for browser-based workflows on external displays.

Pros

Enables a multi-window web-app workspace with resizable and movable browser windows on an external monitor
Offers a novel second-screen experience for iPad, sometimes favored over Stage Manager
Reasonably affordable for the niche functionality
Works with external monitor setups and peripherals (AirPlay/Roku, Bluetooth keyboard/mouse)
Useful for browser-based workflows and lightweight multi-tasking in specific use cases

Cons

Very limited app support: can’t launch native apps and only a few built-in/web apps are usable
App appears abandoned or poorly maintained, with outdated updates and reports of failing feedback submissions
Not worth the price for most users due to many missing features and restrictions
External-monitor usage is constrained (many popular apps unavailable, some functions grayed out, cannot use 4K)
Steep learning curve and usability issues (glitches, needs to keep the app open for full-screen, awkward window resizing)
