It’s a start, but calling them “real-time” adjustments is a bit of a stretch, if I’m to take the video at face value.

I was excited to read something like this finally came along, but at $9.99, I’ll at least wait until the app developer adds something of real value.

Even a millisecond of delay as shown in the demo video is unacceptable to me.

I wonder if it’s possible to interface via the cable for snappier response? My iPad would be plugged in if I were sitting at the computer anyway…

“Because you can” isn’t a good enough reason.
