Hi, I just purchased it for use on my iPad mini with retna. >From what I have done with it, it works great. However the main screen seems to be slow at responding when swiping through. Note: not blaming the KNFB Reader as I know it is an iPhone product running on my iPad mini with retna.
Note, I'm stressing the fact its an iPad mini with retna.
