Honestly, I’m probably becoming a nuisance to the app developer with all my suggestions, yet they always respond promptly, addressing even the smallest details. I’m a casual user with a non-M-series iPad (A16 model), and I bought an external monitor without realizing the limitations involved. Since then, I’ve been looking for a viable solution that would let me watch YouTube in 4K on a full screen. During that search, the only app I found that wasn't buggy was XeOS (which, at the time—version 1.5—was just a browser for external displays). It was useful, but it lacked features like proper keyboard support, a simulated desktop environment, and smooth cursor navigation. Then, Marian released version 2.0, which basically completely transformed the app; it now simulates a desktop environment on external screens. I use it daily in my workflow and am extremely satisfied—especially since I use a keyboard case and mouse while projecting onto a 27-inch monitor. The best part for me is being able to watch videos from YouTube, Netflix, Crunchyroll, Disney+, and HBO in full screen. It also works great for using the Google Suite and attending Zoom meetings. The file manager is incredibly helpful, allowing me to organize files I want to keep within the app—I can tag PDFs, add text files, view Office documents, zip and unzip files, and even sync an iCloud folder for cross-platform access. Furthermore, the app also works on my iPhone via AirPlay; although limited to Full HD on my iPhone 12, I was able to stream to a large screen and watch live World Cup matches on YouTube without any issues while traveling.
Thank you so much for your honest review! If I'm guessing correctly who you are, I want everyone to know that one of the reasons the app turned out so cool today is thanks in part to many of your suggestions, so truly, thank you! Anyone has the power to shape the future of this app if their suggestions can benefit all users.
Regarding your other ideas for improvement mentioned here: the app currently supports a version of Cmd+Tab for switching apps, but it's mapped to Control+Tab instead, since iOS unfortunately reserves both Alt+Tab and Cmd+Tab for system functions, and those can't be used by any app.
All your other suggestions have either already shipped or will be in the next release, coming out very soon: a proper bookmark manager with drag-and-drop and folders, a "read later" list, and the ability to either import passwords/bookmarks from other browsers or ask iOS directly for a password from any password manager.
Thanks again for all your suggestions!
Marian
