Customer Ratings & Reviews

since the Apple pen costs so much, we went this this alternative - and it's fantastic! perfect alternative.

If you can't afford the Apple Pencil or want a stylus to draw for iPhone, this pen is recommended. It's just the right size and glides smoothly on the screen. However, this digital stylus has limitations as you can only use this for certain apps like Autodesk SketchBook & Adobe Photoshop. Overall, performance is incredible.

The bamboo pen does a great job on a variety of devices. Works well with my Ipad, iphone, and surface pro. Good price makes this a wise choice.

I use this stylus with my iPad in the classroom almost every day. It is perfect, and easy to use. It feels right in my hand, and the charge lasts for several days. The only negative comment is that I miss the friction of pen on paper. The lack of friction makes writing feel unfamiliar. I do not recognize my handwriting.

Works well. I’ve been through 2 in 4 months with average daily use. Tends to “twist” into the off position easily, and point dulls quickly. Overall though, great to find something compatible with iPhone that is more of a fine “pen” rather than rounded cushion thing.

Great battery life and writes smoothly. I use it for iPad. However, palm rejection only works with the Bamboo apps, of which there are only about 3 and none of them allow you to upload and write on a PDF. Otherwise it works fine and is very handy on my iPad, phone, and computer.

I’ll preface this by saying I never thought I would need a stylus with an iPad. I had the 4th gen until last year and then replaced it with a 5th gen (2017) non-Pro since we simply didn’t have the budget to afford a Pro. I love my iPad, but lately have been doing more manual note taking and PDF annotation which hasn’t always been so great, especially with my horrible penmanship! I was not able to take advantage of the great trade-in deal when the 2018 came out so the Apple Pencil was not an option. After a lot of reading and watching of YouTube videos I decided to try the Wacom Bamboo Slimline 3. I am not an artist and don’t need anything for drawing or digital art. I just wanted something to make note taking a little easier when I am not using my keyboard or if I want to annotate or take notes on a pdf. I picked this up this morning and have been playing with it most of the day. So far, it more than meets my needs and expectations for note taking using GoodNotes 4 and the Bamboo Paper apps. Palm rejection is working fairly well and I like the feel of the stylus as I write. I also used GoodNotes to import a pdf of a study guide we are using for church and taking notes on it was great! Overall, I am pleased. It is not the same experience as the Pencil and for use of the Bluetooth features it requires a compatible app, but it meets my particular needs. If you have an older iPad and can’t afford an upgrade, this stylus is great option for handwritten notes and pdf annotating. I can't comment on its use for art (I’ll let the kids try later) since I can’t even draw a stick figure with pen and paper, but as a writing option on the iPad I am happy.

I bought this for my daughter and the ease at which she does artwork on her laptop was instant. You can also purchase software for cheap online that increases the capabilities tremendously and makes this tool even more amazing!

I wanted a lower cost alternative to the Apple Pencil. This works well with the Goodnotes app.

This stylus worked well with my iPhone and is much more precise than the regular sytlus

This is a very good stylus for writing on the iPhone and other devices.

I like this product a lot it is very useful when I am making design on my iPad but sometimes it doesn’t want to work, I have to angle it a specific way so it can work

Love this stylus works well with OneNote and GoodNotes app

Awesome product! Stylus was flexible with different products and Love it! iPad pencil works better with iPad, but this Bamboo Fineline Stylus worked very, very well! Very happy with purchase!

Bought this to use with an ipad. It lags sometimes, is a little slow to connect, and (for me) hard to use because you can't let any part of your hand touch the screen when using it. Has to be recharged and it seems to me the charge doesn't last all that long. I've basically quit using it because of all of the above.

Really enjoy this stylus. It writes smoothly, and I feel like I have good control of where I am placing my writing. I use it on an iPad Mini 4 and have had no issues with hand drag on many apps. The battery lasts a significant amount of time. My only complaint is that the lid covering the charging slot was tricky to open and flimsy, as it broke after after my second or third time opening it. This does not affect the function of the pen, just the charge slot is always exposed.

I bought this thinking it was comparable to the official branded stylus for my iPad. You will have to download an app to use this with your iPad. One major advantage it has over the official iPad stylus is it works for the iPhone, too.... BUT I ended up losing this pen and purchased the Pencil. It’s just the right way to go IF you have an iPad that works with a Pencil.... otherwise, this Bamboo pen is the best runner up.

I purchased an iPad for my 90 year old mother. I knew she would like the apple pencil, as she had really liked mine, but I thought she could treat herself to a pencil. So disappointed to find out that the pencil did not work with her model. The Best Buy salesman found this to be compatible and in stock, it is great works fine and I am happy with this alternative and it was less in price.

I was very excited to buy this and start using it for graduate school. But I was extremely disappointed. It constantly disconnects and then the writing goes all over the screen. The twist to "turn on/off" turns in your hand and turns the pen on and off. All in all, I wish I wouldn't have purchased this pen for $60 because a cheaper one from amazon online works better.

Purchased to use with iPad Air 2. Works pretty well with apps I'm using on, but occasionally has connection issues. I thinks it's when battery is low. So my issue with it is doesn't appear to be an indication when battery is low. Also, directions indicate stylus main need to have firmware updated and iPad app it says to download for this doesn't exist. However, it is a much finer point than most stylus, so that feature is very beneficial.
