I paid for it and have had very little luck in getting it to work properly. I've mailed their support and heard nothing back. I would personally advise people away from giving them money, especially now I know of their lack of crediting open source projects.

On MacRumors [1], the developer responded in a thread and mentioned that its just him, no big team. So, perhaps he's just overwhelmed with customer queries?

That said, Duet works well on my 13" Early 2011 MBP and a iPad Mini Retina, normal resolution. Retina resolution bumps up the cpu utilization. Duet does not work so well with the same machine connected to an iPad 3, but still usable. Duet does NOT work with 10.10.2 BETA according to the MacRumors thread. Hoping for updates.

It works well for me - 30fps is good enough for my needs. Let's hope they clear up their OS credit issue promptly.

It's working fine for me on iPad Air, the iPad 1 version is buggy (dev told me to wait a few days for a fix on Facebook)

it is working flawlessly for me. i am on a mbp watching vimcast core class on a sidecar mounted iPad air and it's chugging away without any stuttering.

Same here.

It caused one graphical hang on my Mac and then it opened too many file descriptors, reaching the system limitations and I had to uninstall it and reboot.

It works flawlessly for me :-)
