EasyCanvas -Graphic tablet App 4+

Really great BUT

The input on the app is very fast, the pen pressure (Apple Pencil) is great and I love the look of the interface as well as it having the option to customize the quick key buttons. I am overall very pleased but for me after a while of using it in a single session, the app freezes and you no longer see your input on the iPad screen only the desktop(Windows 10). When you unplug the connection between the devices and plug it back in, it never connects again so i followed the instructions on the website to uninstall and then reinstall the desktop app which makes it work fine but I would rather not do that every few hours especially while I’m creating. Other than that, I would recommend this app to any digital artist trying to use their iPad as a drawing tablet.

Incredibly useful for digital artists

I was skeptical, but this app is the real deal. I am using it with a USB-C cable connected to a Windows 11 laptop and it works flawlessly. Just download the EL Display Hub from the EasyNLight website. Once you have that running on the PC and connect your iPad via USB-C, open the EasyCanvas app on your tablet and Windows will immediately recognize it as if it was any other additional display. You can set it to extend or duplicate. I am easily put off by even the smallest amount of latency with setups like this, but it is practically unnoticeable using the wired setup. I use it with Blender and Photoshop, and Photoshop even recognizes multi-touch for zooming in and out on the image! If you turn off the iPad display when not using it, Windows will disconnect the screen without fuss. But as soon as you wake up the iPad, it will reconnect and reopen the display in Windows within just a few seconds. Any app that works this well and has an option for a one-time purchase, rather than forcing a subscription-only model, has my support. 100% worth $12

Amazing

Bro this is awesome! First off it’s really good for using your iPad as an art pad, but it’s also good to use as a second monitor. It works well and automatically connects my iPad when I plug it into my laptop. Unfortunately you cannot send a signal from your iPad to the pc, but that would’ve been a relatively obscure feature anyway. YOU DO NOT NEED AN APPLE PEN! a regular stylus or your finger works fine. I highly recommend. ONE DOWNSIDE THOUGH: the app IS NOT FREE. You get 14 days free of charge to try it, then it’s $15. I will be buying it when my 14 days run out, because the application is so well made. I do hate it when publishers do this but I guess this was the only way to give the app a “free trial”. Regardless of that this is a solid program and I recommend it to anyone who needs a touch screen for their windows or Mac machines (for any reason not just art). It’s also a great way to get a cheap second monitor.. By just using your iPad!
