Hi Android enthusiasts,
I noticed that many of the secondary monitor apps in the Google Play store have terrible ratings. Reading the reviews, it seems that most of the issues are in device compatibility. The largest such app appears to be iDisplay which even promises connectivity over USB for working in coffee shops.
I'm wondering what it is that makes these apps so hard to get right. Is there some inherent technical difficulty that I'm missing? I read one suggestion that the variety of screen resolutions on Android tablets makes this difficult, but I can't see why this is a limitation.
The only reason I can seem might be vendor specific APIs that these apps have to interface with, but I can't see, from my experience, which these would be. It seems the harder bit would be writing drivers for Windows and OSX but that's really only one platform to support, unlike Android.
Another reason might be bandwidth, but surprisingly, this doesn't seem to be a big issue in the reviews.
What do you think? Shouldn't a good app like this be fairly simple to develop?
