Yes I feel the same way - I wimped out and got one of my colleagues to buy the 
license for me!

I think part of the answer may be to get a really large monitor! (Or force 
orientation to landscape.) You can switch off the 'frame'; and you can adjust 
the size of the window (invisible grow box in the corner) - however that lets 
you get bigger than true size.  On a 1920 x 1200 monitor, I can get the iPad 
screen at 864 x 1157; presumably if I fiddled around enough I could get it 
just right.

There is a 'zoom' menu item, which seems to be like the green "+" button: 
toggle between maximum visible size and whatever the size was before; I 
suggest that's options for exact sizes would a good feature request (along 
with a paypal alternative).

The missing element for me is displaying touches, which I think it would be 
unreasonable to ask for - I don't suppose it's in the AirPlay stream.  I've 
been experimenting with sending touch info over the network to another 
LiveCode app on the Mac, that can then use a tiny 'system window' stack to 
show where the touch is.  Sort of worked but (a) NO SOCKET SUPPORT ON IOS so I 
hacked it with HTTP, very inefficient and (b) my app crashes if I touch it a 
lot...

... hoping socket support on mobile is addressed soon
