I used to use my iPad as a third monitor using Duet Display. Unfortunately, the drivers were sometimes horribly incompatible with Windows 10 updates, causing blue screens. I decided it wasn't worth it anymore.
Same! I’d love a better alternative...
Same here. Would like to know which software works?
If there was one that worked well, sure, I'd like to know what it is.
Yes! Before updating to MacOS Catalina, I used an app called Duet and it was great! The downside was that I had to connect my iPad to my Macbook Pro (so many dongles) and pay about $10.
But since updating, I now use sidecar, and that's been very smooth and I really like it.
I've found sometimes my iPad Pro will disconnect when using sidecar. The trick/hack I use to get it to reconnect is to click the sidecar/iPad icon in the top right and click mirror display then I switch it back to separate display.
Hmmm. I was really excited when sidecar came out. I have an iPad Pro. I hooked it up and then suddenly realised that actually, 95% of what I have on my Mac, I have natively on my iPad Pro anyway 🤷🏻. I think I really good use case is the Adobe Cloud, for using your iPad and pencil to actually draw on your Mac.
I really enjoy it. Its super smooth, I didn't notice any latency issues.
Its great if you work remote or need an extra tiny screen to hold a window or two.
I only have an iPad mini, I image with the bigger iPad pro the experience is even better.
Awesome, do you use anything special to prop it up/attach it to your laptop?
I have one of those standard iPad covers from Amazon that fold into a triangle. Its worked well for propping it up.
Before Apple announced iPad screen sharing I was considering this as an option 😂

I have and I very much like the experience.
However, I don't code much when I'm travelling so I usually travel with just my iPad.
If I were going to code, I'd probably use a cloud-based IDE like Codesandbox or Code Anywhere
Hope that helps! :D
I too just bought an iPad Pro 11” (pro tip amazon sells them “renewed” for cheap). I’m using it in many ways including an extra monitor. A while back I purchased the Luna Display, it makes things very consistent and retains quality — highly recommended for power users. I also saw someone on YouTube who uses the new raspberry pi as their mobile work environment that they connect to iPad. Very interesting.
I want a second screen for my ios development. I am confused between iPad 8th gen and a monitor ...
Ipad is costing me 21,570 RS and monitor + second-hand iPhone is costing me 18,500 RS ..
If I buy an iPad i will use it for second screen and app testing, and monitor for same.
Can anyone help me here.....
If you have an iPad Pro, the dual monitor support is built-in with Catalina now, you don't need to buy any additional software. I've used it pretty extensively and it works great, but I recommend plugging it in with a cable vs a wired connection when possible.
I do use it as a second and sometimes third display like many have commented. I have played around with Sidecar and it works OK, but I still use my LunaDisplay adapter more. I find it works great for me since I lean towards using second+ screens for things like reference materials or monitoring Slack, those sort of 'glance at them' apps for the most part.
