iPad Air JumpDesktop on IPA vs. IPP

[MonkeySpank158]

I recently have tried to push to see if I could replace my uses for my MacBook with an iPad. I currently have the last iPad Air before they used the M1 chip in it (4th gen I think it is). I downloaded Jump Desktop to RDP over SSH into my work machine (amazing app, btw) and hooked up my iPad to my 35" wide screen monitor, and told JD to use that wide resolution, even though theoretically I should only be able to mirror my iPad resolution on the external monitor. This worked, it used the whole monitor resolution that I told it to. However, after about a minute the app crashed.

So im curious if anyone has had any issue with this on the M series chip iPads, such as iPad Pro or even the M1 iPad Air. My guess here is I pushed my hardware beyond what it was capable of doing - which I can live with. Should this be the case, I wouldn't mind upgrading to a better iPad to make this a realistic possibility.

Let me know your thoughts.

I have a 12.9 M2 and while not hooked to a monitor, Jump has worked great on it.

Jump works great when I’m using it in tablet mode, but if I were to use the iPad as a replacement long term (which was what I was trying to accomplish with my testing), I would need the monitor to work as I tried to do it. But my theory is because my model doesn’t actually support full external monitor usage, that I was able to make it work only temporarily before crashing. Kind of surprised it worked at all honestly.

I have used Jump with an external monitor many times. Works perfectly. Works even with non M series iPad but taking the full monitor, the only difference is that with M series iPad I can do something else on the iPad.

I use Jump on a 3440x1440 screen with my 11" M2 iPad Pro regularly with no issues

I tried this again without crashing, must've been a fluke. However, using my Logitech MX Master 3 is awful, even with pointer acceleration off, it's so touchy! Anybody else have thoughts on this?

I prefer IPA 90.

Sry couldn’t help being a SA

I have this mouse too and I concur with my Mac/iPad the tracking is very sensitive compared to Windows

I’ve actually taken this a step further and use jumpdesktop at work with an external monitor and my iPhone 15 pro. It mostly works great with a strong 5g connection and a keyboard and mouse jacked into the monitor. Every once in a while the connection flakes out and I wonder why I’m torturing myself for the sake of being a techno weirdo, but it’s cool when it works.

Got the same results with my iPad Pro, but the aspect ratio I think worked better. I just like rolling up to work with nothing but my iPhone.

Same reasoning here - just want to push the boundaries a bit.

On Mac you can download the Logi Options + app, that will help with sensitivity.
