TwomonUSB - Extended Display Reviews

Ok, to purchase for iPad 1, purchase from newer iOS device and then access from purchased on iPad 1 App Store. To lower latency, just use 800x600 resolution. Looks more appropriate anyways. Not bad, very little lag. Going to find out if I can use yousician with the lag, perhaps I can just delay the audio to match. Anyways I have my Casio Privia digital piano hooked up to the Mac mini with iPad 1 as my “ultra thin monitor” and am enjoying all my vst instruments through headphones. And access to my DAWS. Mac is zip tied to piano stand, pretty tucked away. Thanks TwoMon.

TwomonUSB works as described by extended your computer display on a second monitor. I used this to add an additional monitor while traveling using my laptop and iPad Pro 12.9 display. The dimensions of the screen as others have mentioned you may have to adjust, but it works well with added benefit of touch screen from the iPad. Only glitch or kink is when connected I can not print documents. Not a major issue but enough of a hassle that I’ve decided to test out a portable monitor for at home and use TwomonUSB primarily while traveling.

Have been using TwoMon for a while, with Windows 7 and a 2012 iPad, and currently with an iPap Air 2 and Windows 10. Very happy with it. Works great. Sometimes it can be laggy, but that has been usually a conflict with some other app on the PC side of things. Most annoying thing is having to install iTunes on the PC to connect the iPad (I don’t use iTunes), but there are drivers you can install so the iPad is recognized by Windows without having to install the entire iTunes app (and yes, this is an Apple thing, not MS). Thumbs up TwoMon!

Look no farther for a windows extended monitor solution. This is a *great* app and works well on wifi or USB. I own them both. My Ipad Pro 12.9 works perfectly. Great resolution options (I like 1280x1024 on my 12.9 pro), great options for using ipad to make a nearly native touch solution for windows! Tremendous value and you can use an older Ipad 1 or 2 too.

This is a great app for versatility as well as because it WORKS. I have favorite wifi apps... but only this one works all the time.. you DO need hdmi to set it up... i mean you have to see you of screen ... after that, I am able to use it as my main monitor or as an extension. Love it

Logging into the Apple iCloud and Store from the iPad 1 was painful. As another poster said, purchase TwomonUSB from another Apple device, then do cloud download to iPad 1.

Installed iTunes from Microsoft store on my gaming laptop. Login to iTunes. Downloaded from the website specified by TwomonUSB . Disconnect and reconnect USB A from laptop if iPad 1 not detected by iTunes.

Adjust monitors (iPad was primary after software installation , had to set laptop screen back to primary).

Works perfectly displaying discord while I’m gaming on laptop monitor.

I had purchased the bundle for usb pc but it didn’t work like expected. I then found TwomonUSB which is what I needed. TwomonUSB is great! Waiting to hear from the developers if I can get a refund for my previous choice and buy this instead. Great work!

I just bought USB and am very pleased. I was using Duet, but they couldn’t get it to work with Win10. Twomon has more features though. I would like to use Twomon Air. I am having a connection problem. I’ll figure it out.

And the support is horrible, basically no support. When I contacted support for help or refund, they force you to provide LOG file but there are no clear instructions on where the log files are created to upload,, basically you cannot contact support without them, hence the most horrible support. Don't waste your money and find something with better reviews.

I used to use TwomonUSB and was going to install on a computer at work where I needed a temporary 2nd monitor. The requirement to have iTunes installed is both annoying and unnecessary. There are many other dual monitor apps out there without this limitation that are much better.

Great while it worked. Can’t connect, and they make you jump through confusing hoops just to contact them for help.

Your newest update crashed my new iMac and now it does not boot up, forcing me to format the whole disk and lose months of valuable information on my computer.

If you want to use an iPad 1 as a second monitor (extended) then you need to find a different option, I lost my money with this.

Everything is installed including iTunes. Will not connect to tablet and keeps prompting to install iTunes.

Doesn’t actually act as another app (on mac). It only acts as an extended display. I wanted it to be another display like Duet. I would not recommend.

Plz refund!

I bought this to stream Windows games over a stable wired connection to my phone. I was disappointed however when the video didn't support my graphics card at all. Games would open but seemed to only use the CPU and got unbearable performance.

Does not work with Windows 7.

I have a Surface Pro 3 and want a reliable way to use my iPad as a second monitor. I was somewhat reluctant to buy TwomonUSB after trying two others that didn't work (TeamView and Splashtop) on my home wireless network. I saw the terrible review Justin gave TwomonUSB but after reading multiple reviews about how undependable wifi-based remote monitor apps are, and after seeing the video demo on the Twomon website, decided to risk the ten bucks for a USB-based remote monitor app.

I downloaded the Windows app, installed it and iTunes (which is required for connectivity), and since there was an option to create a Gmail account for "simple" connections (??) went ahead and created a throwaway gmail account just in case. Not sure if that did anything.

Then I bought and downloaded the iPad app from TwomonUSB Store, connected the Surface Pro 3 to the iPad with the USB/lightning cable, and as promised the screen asked me if I wanted to connect. I touched "connect" and voila, I had a remote monitor that is displayed as such even on the Windows display settings. It works perfectly.

One precaution: the thing did change my screen resolution so I had to change it back to what I wanted.

Anyway TwomonUSB works. It works the first time with zero hassles.

Originally I bought Airdisplay but I quickly realized how limited it was. I really wanted to be able to use my 3d modeling programs with a stylus so I decided to try it with Twomon despite Airdisplay not being capable of doing what I wanted. I was a bit skeptical at first but to my surprise I was able to sculpt with Mudbox with literally a million polygons on my Ipad. Due to this using USB instead of wifi it is far capable of handeling anything you throw at it. I strongly suggest using this program instead of the Wifi ones, that is if your just looking for that extra edge in Drawing or 3d modeling. TwomonUSB also supports Zoom which IMO is a huge plus. Definatley check it out you won't be disappointed.
