User Reviews for spacedesk (multi monitor app)

Works as Advertised!

I don’t usually write reviews, but this is amazing! All you have to do is install a small program on your pc and this app! I was able to use my iPod touch as a second screen, or in my case more like a remote so I can do things while around my house. I don’t have a keyboard or mouse to test out that feature, but with the way this went, I have no doubt it would work.There are a few things I might consider adding:1. Sound to the client device.2. When using the touchpad mode, a way to send a right click.3. Perhaps a way to use the built in iOS keyboard to send text to the server device.4. Gestures for touchpad (Although by the sound of the description that is already in the works).Keep up the great work!

Great Work

I love this app as it fulfills my specific needs of a separate monitor, but the latest update has broke it completely and I’m unable to use it as I did before. I’m on iPad OS 13.3.1 and my screen alignment is weird (it’s on a smaller vertical screen on a horizontal display). The app crashes a lot and I’m unable to use it properly. Please fix this issue as soon as possible.Update: Problem fixed in a day! This app is great.

So much better than Duet

I moved from Duet because their software broke my computer. I had to restore it because Duet disabled my dedicated GPU and it wouldn’t work even after the app was uninstalled.SpaceDesk is less intrusive, free, doesn’t require an account, and works better than Duet. The only issue with this app is that you lose connectivity when you trigger the Notification Center or when you receive a call (if you have hand off enabled). Minor issues that can be fixed via a software update.In the time being I highly recommend SpaceDesk.

Works

I have a specific need that this meets. That said, be advised that since your device is now functioning as a monitor, and even though you may have touch enabled, your device keyboard will not pop up to allow text input via the device. For me this is a minor issue because I’m using the device as a monitor at the distance limits of a WiFi signal. IOW, I’m far away from the computer. I’m using this in a manner not envisioned by the developers. I’m just letting others who may have a similar need know. It’s certainly not a deal breaker, especially since I’m pushing its limits.

Better than Duet

Definitely glad I found this app (though I wish I had found it before spending $10 on Duet Display). Could be my personal setup (Core i7 laptop circa 2018 and an iPad Air 2 connected via Lightning), but I get much better performance from Spacedesk than I did Duet, and it’s free. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in turning their iPad into a second monitor.

Amazing app !

I normally don’t bother writing reviews for any products I use. But this definitely deserves one. I am currently teaching virtually to a group of students. It’s my first time doing so. I needed a second monitor, one I can use for teaching virtually. I tried using Duet. It wouldn’t work, no matter how much I tried. I paid for the app and membership, still wouldn’t work. I gave up trying. I was suggested to try this app. I was cautious, since I didn’t hear anything about it. After using it for an entire month, it’s definitely the best app I have come across. I am surprised it’s for free! The app is amazing. I really can’t think anything negative about it. I do wish there was a way to connect to iPad using a wire instead of the network connection. Other than that, I can’t complain about anything else. Thanks again for making this app. It was a game changer for me at work.

Love it!!

For those of you scrolling through comments I will help you.When setting up right click on you background on the server computer and a menu thingy pops up. Next what you need to do is to go on display settings. There an option in display settings that says multiple display then you click extend these display for a longer display. Love it keep it up.

Best Duet Display Alternative!

This is a fantastic app! I was very disappointed to discover that Duet wanted to charge a monthly subscription for a display app; that’s extremely predatory, subscriptions are the bane of my existence and charging continuously just for screen utilities makes no sense. This app does everything that Duet does and no subscription fees! I would love to see wired connection support in a future update. As long as you never charge monthly subscription fees you have my full support!

Great app.

It does what it is supposed to. And it does it for free!!!! However i found it unintuitive that after initial connection, It makes the iPad screen as the primary screen. So I had to fool the computer to think that the slave screen is the primary screen which is my actual computer. In essence all the icons went on the iPad originally. Also the screen shows up on the left of the original. Again unintuitive for everyone that has done the HDMI connection to actual monitors. I have a sneaky suspicion that this is why the ipad became primary. The 3 changes that would make this app perfect, are: 1. Fix the primary screen issue ( unless i am missing something) 2. Make the slave screen on the right, not left. 3. Make it possible for wired connection. And the last one is my most important issue.

Awesome

Honestly, this is awesome, without wires and most it’s free. I would even have paid for this software. I dislike the fancy flashy alternatives in the market who try to rip you off with monthly fees… Great Job! Very happy using my iPad as a screen for my Windows devices. It even works as a touch screen.. how awesome is that!! Thanks again to the developer!! Nice! - Only suggestion: if you allow mouse control why not also to add a virtual keyboard so potentially I could make some small inputs…
