We recommend reading the feedback at the <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/app\/duet-display\/id935754064#\">App Store<\/a>, because initial feedback is mixed, with some users having excellent results and others running into bugs.<\/p>\n<p>It seems like there are two main concerns with the app at this point:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The developer&#8217;s site says iOS 6 is required and the App Store says iOS 5 is required. It appears that at least iOS 6 is required, because owners of older devices have complained that the app doesn&#8217;t work for them. The site lists minimum OS versions as OS X 10.9+ and iOS 6+.<\/li>\n<li>The features highlight 60 FPS performance and Retina compatibility.
