Yam Air

It never works on my devices

It is very useful for users who use MacBook Air with version 2017 or later version, for using iPad as second monitor. It support with or without wire connection. 👍🏻

This app is probably one of the best duet alternatives ever. I downloaded this version because 1. The free version has a cap of 7 minutes every time you connect so you have to reconnect. 2. The wired (non-free/regular) version is 8 dollars and the air version is only 4 dollars. I thought this was going to be great, and it was, but it’s very laggy, and sometimes it bugs out.. for example: 1: sometimes the screen goes black and it just shows and tracks the movements of the Mac cursor. To get it to work again, I have to close the app and open it again. 2: It’s just laggy in general. I don’t know if it is a problem with my Mac, or if there is something the devs can fix. That’s my whole review on this app. If the devs of this app see this, please try to fix the bugs I am having, that would be great!

If you haven’t already tried Sidecar, give it a try before buying this app since it’s free functionality built into may Macs/iPads. However, if you’re like me and experiencing constant freezing with Sidecar, Yam is god-sent. It works flawlessly and adds touchscreen functionality (beautiful). I also considered Duet, but ultimately went with Yam since it’s a one-time fee versus subscription. So pleased!!

Using it on my old Mac Mini/Mojave (2010) delivers a poor performance with quite some lag … Using it on my MacBookpro (2016) / Big Sur works fine and without any delay or lag. As you can use your fingers on the iPad to move stuff, guess a virtual keyboard would be nice?

Just awful!

This app can not support for windows

I love it!!! It is really easy to use, and helps me with my school work. I didn’t have to buy a monitor since I found this, and used my drawing tablet. It is a little laggy, but that’s because this is the cheaper air version which is GOING to be laggy, and this one really does a good job despite that. If you really need one without lag of any kind then just spend the extra 3 bucks on the wired version and it’ll be perfect for you.

The application did not work for my computer. I will be contacting the company for a refund.

The reviews here looked nice but I googled around a bit and wasn't finding quite as many users as I'd like to feel confident. So it felt like a swing in the dark a bit. I was pleasantly surprised when it immediately worked amazingly. You see some small lag when scrolling. A video on streamable worked shockingly well. The touch gestures alone are amazing. I often hesitate to try and work in a coffeeshop or something if I'm working on a project that benefits from two screens. This is a life-changer.
