HDMI Monitor - Orion for Negative User Reviews
✓ Never workedTried 3 different capture cards yes those which the devs website suggested none of them worked..Version: 1.0.2
✓ No audioI love the idea of this app, I’ve always wanted to use my iPad as an external monitor to my console or camera. I purchased one of the recommended adapters and got audio and video to work perfect on the first try which I used for about 2 hours. The second time I tried using the app with the adapter I got video, but no audio. I’ve tried all troubleshooting I know, including restoring my iPad with a Mac as new and getting the adapter replaced by the manufacturer, still no luck. Not sure what the issue is at this point, but I hope I can get the app working properly in the future..Version: 1.0
✓ This ain’t it…yetI could write a meandering stories but here are the main bits - UI is fun but not functional - Lag makes gaming an absolute non-starter - Will force everything to a 16:9 aspect ratio which means you don’t get much more real estate by plugging a Switch OLED or Steam Deck into this.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Great CRT filters, but lacks aspect ratio controlsThe app is very promising, quality of video is good, and the CRT filters are great quality... but I paid for the extra features and was disappointed that there was no "aspect ratio" control. It only displays widescreen with black bars, even when Window's resolution is 4:3. Please add an option to fill screen so I can raise review stars (and play retro games full screen) :-).Version: 1.0.2
✓ Useless appIt appears that the developer has spent a ton of time in trying to make the app as cartoonish as possible without building in proper functionality..Version: 1.0.1
✓ 16:9 only?So far this app is great, and it will be a god send for me out in the field. But, as far as I can tell there isn’t support for 4:3 input modes. This would be excellent for taking advantage of the iPad’s screen real estate when in use as an additional display..Version: 1.0
✓ Why no family sharing?App seem to be great for occasional gaming fun, like as display for kids’ Switch games during travel. Unfortunately, did not realize Family Sharing was not enabled before I made purpose on my own account. Disappointed purchase restore does not work on my kids’ iPads. Family sharing really ought to be enabled for an app like this IMHO..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Not working with new update!No signal with any dongle on the latest 17.0.03 update.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Doesn’t workDoesn’t work at all. Even pro version doesn’t work. Scam app. Do not buy.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Good features but keeps crashingI have a 2018 pro 12.9 and installed the app. First time using it, it crashed. Opened it again, no signal, even though the hdmi adapter was connected. Reconnected the adapter, and got a signal. Tried to change a setting, crash. Restarted the iPad, worked well for a bit, tried buying the pro upgrade, started entering my info, crash. Would like to know why..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Not for gaming, but probably great as a camera monitorI bought this app with the sole intention of using my iPad as a portable monitor for Switch and Analogue Pocket. Unfortunately, there is noticeable input lag, even with wired USB controllers, which makes it unusable for my purposes (I’m a big retro gamer and input lag is truly a dealbreaker). I’m using the one-and-only USB-C video capture card linked from their website. The capture card could be the input lag culprit, but again, I’m using the only dongle listed on the site. If a different accessory is recommended for gaming, I’d suggest mentioning that on the website (there’s already a section for recommended gaming accessories). If a $150 high-performance capture card is required for gaming, I would have thought twice about purchasing the app. The fact that the app is marketed towards gamers as well as photographers is the only reason I’m rating the app three stars. If input lag isn’t a dealbreaker for you, Orion is a great app. Setup was ridiculously easy, and the CRT emulation effects are fun to mess around with (by the way, disabling the effects doesn’t seem to improve the input lag situation). I’m truly hoping Orion improves over time. I paid for the app in hopes of encouraging further development..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Doesn't work on 3rd gen ipad pro ipados 17.2I bought the recommended dongle, but the app says "no signal" when plugged in. I verified everything else works except Orion. I even found another similar iPad app that does work. This app crashes just trying to open settings or read the docs..Version: 1.0.2
✓ STOPNot a bad app, but any app that pops up a notification every time I use it to submit a review gets one star..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Pinch to zoomOverall satisfactory. I wish they could have pinch to zoom feature. Ipad has a aspect ratio of 4:3, but inputs are always 16:9, which makes the image too small. If you could have a pinch to zoom feature, this would be awesome..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Doesn’t work yet with capture dongleI have the dongle. It doesn’t work..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Better alternatives, avoidThe ux is terrible and fussy with unnecessary animations and waiting. Advanced options is literally a joke, and the tone of the developers is much too silly for something aimed at prosumers. The 4K scaler is a pure gimmick and the CRT filters are much too aggressive with no fine tuning. Avoid spending money for that IAP, I wish I did. The worst part comes down to lack of options. I bought their advertised dongle (which had a price increase so their website is incorrect now), and suffered massive lag and screen tearing. People thinking that it’s the dongle’s problem, it’s not. I used a separate capture card and the results were the same. Trying to play any game is a joke and should absolutely be avoided. Genki Studio may not look as polished, but they offer much clearer toggles and MUCH more informative help page within their app. Most importantly, they offer different resolution sizes that fixes the bandwith issue; turns out the iPad can only manage 720p60 before it starts choking..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Screen tearing while gamingTried both a laptop with Steam and a Nintendo Switch. Minor input lag was acceptable most of the time, but there was tons of horizontal screen tearing using one of their verified capture cards and it was very distracting. The more activity / action on the screen Tried more than one HDMI cable, multiple sources, two different iPads. Reached out to technical support but they did not respond. Should not be advertised for gaming use cases..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Barely usefulThought this would be great to use as a second monitor on the road with a PC (work issued)…nope. Regardless of the resolution I set in windows, I have huge letterbox borders on my iPad. Tried every setting in the Orion app, but nothing helped. I understand the iPad has a different aspect ratio, but this is almost useless as a secondary monitor with PC. Not surprising they did not include a screenshot of that use-case here. Would have been good to know prior to buying the mandatory hardware needed to even use this app..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Not workingTried to connect iPad Pro M1 to MacBook Pro by original hdmi apple connector and also to PS4, same result - not working. App shows icon that not connected. iPad is updated to iOS 17.Version: 1.0
✓ Does not workTerrible interface. Worked briefly using a Guermok HDMI to USB C Dongle until I paid for the upgrade, then it stopped working..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Cool conceptNice concept and works for the most part but tons of input lag on games..Version: 1.0.2
✓ MisleadingSprung to use this app because of the reputation of Halide. Unfortunately, disappointed. All the marketing photos make it appear as if the full screen of the iPad will be used. That is not the case. There is no resolution option to make use of the full real estate of the iPad Pro screen..Version: 1.0
✓ Simply Doesn’t WorkPlugged it in from my Xbox to the iPad and nothing displayed. My iPad detected the HDMI connection but the app just showed the no signal screen..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Family share doesn’t work.My husband contacted them several times on various platforms. It’s been weeks and no response..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Forget it!Forget it! Hooked up my M1 MacBook Pro and all I get is an image of my computer’s background. Nothing else! Useless. Used a Video Capture card..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Video works, Audio doesn’tAs the title says.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Terrible Lag and Display IssuesOrion promised a lot, but it's a massive disappointment. I bought the suggested HDMI dongle and expected a seamless experience, but instead, I got unbearable input lag, annoying screen tearing, and absolutely no sound with my video inputs. To add to the frustration, despite the promotional images and demo video showing full-screen content, everything is displayed in a heavily letterboxed format. Even classic 4:3 aspect ratio games like NES, SNES, and PS1 are reduced to a tiny box on the screen. The CRT filters, while a nice addition, suffer from an overwhelming rainbow effect that's more distracting than nostalgic. It's an eyesore. On top of that, the 4K upscale feature is so subtle that you won't even notice a difference when toggling it on and off. It's another letdown when you expect a noticeable enhancement..Version: 1.0
✓ Good when it worksHalf the time it doesn’t recognise that there is an input, and I don’t know how much the AI is actually doing to upscale my Switch input.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Didn’t workIt did not work for me..Version: 1.0.2
✓ IOS beta update not workingTried multiple dongle options does not work no signal. Updated to latest iOS beta. Nothing :(.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Pretty cool but AI upscale doesn’t workNothing to complain about but when I turn on AI upscale doesn’t work, it freezes up and then I have to restart the app.Version: 1.0.2
✓ DémoUne démo pas démo, bizarre. Ont peu rajouté des effets de veille écran sur un film de mauvaise qualité. Quel idée de marketing de mauvais goût..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Why the black bars?App works fine. Too much effort put on the animations and branding. Please let me control your aspect ration I display throngs and take advantage of te iPad full screen and I’ll pay $5. Thanks!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Needs camera privileges for unknown reasonI emailed the support team asking this, but never received an answer. I don’t understand why Orion need access to your built in camera to operate correctly. I would love an explanation on this..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Super laggy when I click 4K upscalingIt doesn’t work when I click 4K upscaling.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Why such bad lag?My 1st test was with my laptop in Photoshop and Premiere Pro. If you’re using the iPad as just a display it’s fine, but if you try and work from that display the lag is just too much! 2nd Test was with the Nintendo Switch. Again the lag was just too much to play anything for a long period of time! I thought maybe it was just the cheap £12 3ft hdmi cable that I’d brought, but after trying a couple of other apps that do the same the lag on those was tiny! It’s a shame as the this app is nicely presented. To the developer. Why is the lag so bad? Is this something you’ll fix?.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Not idealThis app in combination with one of the recommended capture dongles is not recognized as a second display by Windows. One can duplicate the main computer display, but cannot extend main display to iPad. Disappointed..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Bit of a conI bought, and received confirmation of purchase, but when I open the app it keeps asking me to upgrade. If I try to restore purchase it does not work..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Does nothing but crashA waste of time. The product crashes when even trying to display the manual..Version: 1.0.2
