Documentation Conventions
The CineMon documentation includes screenshots throughout. All screenshots are taken with an 11 inch iPad Pro, unless it is necessary to illustrate platform specific differences. Your screen might not match the screenshots exactly.
In a few cases the CineMon interface differs slightly between the iPad and Mac versions. When it is necessary to distinguish between the two, an iPad or Mac colored label will be used to mark the difference.
Advanced features that require an in-app purchase will be marked with a PRO label.
