Can only use to mirror screen - not extend desktop & it has to run through a browser window.

It's just a tool to mirror your screen to any other device via web. It happens that if you have a virtual second monitor (HDMI dummy) you can share that as your second monitor.

The Android app is not available anymore, and it seems the desktop app hasn't worked well for years. The iOS app was last updated in 2017, so you might want to avoid it.
