To this day, I continue to work with my iPad Pro as a design tool, in addition to its most common facet of content consumption that we all know perfectly. To do this, I keep trying new apps that allow me to be more productive in my work.
If I recently brought you a app to convert our iPad in an authentic design tablet in true style Cintiq Through Atropad, now I share with you another quite practical solution for your productivity, as far as the Apple ecosystem is concerned. It should be added that the app also supports use with Windows computers, but in the latter case, I have not had the "pleasure" to try, since it seems that in Windows they aim to make my work as a designer much more complicated than it already is by nature, although I will leave this topic for another Article.
I have been testing the app duet display, a suite that allows, as I have been saying, convert our Apple tablet, either iPad mini, iPad or iPad Pro, into a second screen or an external monitor for our Mac.
this application takes on a new dimension when we use it with the iPad Pro,
since its use on a 9,7 or 12,9-inch screen, added to the precision of the Apple Pencil, make its function even more meaningful if possible.
This video that the company has posted on its official website It will be most illustrative for you to finish understanding the operation of Duet Display. The company in question, is made up of former Apple engineers, like many other apps in the App Store.
If it is true that some of the user reviews, in the form of reviews of this app, have been related to the use of the mouse on the iPad screen, which on the other hand, it would seem like a real delay to use the mouse on the iPad screen. our iPad, taking into account the touch screen of these devices or the Apple Pencil.
One of the most notable criticisms would be the low resolution that the screen of our iPad Pro would show when used with a MacBook, MacBook Pro or similar, since the resolution of the screen of our Mac is much lower than that of our iPad Pro. It would not give these problems when used with last generation iMacs.
Another behavior that all of you will be wondering would be the lag or delay when "moving" an app from our computer to the iPad; Well, in this section, the lag will be almost negligible, since the application works quite smoothly in that sense thanks to the speed with which the information is transmitted through our lightning cable that we use daily to charge our iPad, which must be connected to the computer in question for the app to function. Note that this app will not work with Wi-Fi, as if it did Astropad.
A determining factor in deciding on this app is its price. From my point of view, a fairly good price of 9,99 euros, taking into account the productivity deployment that the use of this app is assuming in my case. I use it daily, and adding it to Astropad, these two are becoming my two great allies when designing any type of content.
