    Oh Wacom, where is the dream stylus for iPad Air 2

    I dropped some cash for this pen in high hopes that I would be using it with my iPad Air 2 for writing, note-taking, drafting. Alas. I have not been successful in getting it to connect with the apps the pen is approved for -- namely, Notes Plus, Bamboo Paper. The pen lights up but either does not connect at all or connects for a moment or two and then drops connection. On the two occasions it connected for more than a few minutes, the pen did not write at all. I called customer service but I have not heard back from anyone. So I did some checking online (sadly, only after I purchased it), and the Fineline Stylus pen is apparently not compatible with the iPad Air 2 touch surface. Nowhere on the box did I see "to be used on iPad 1-4 only". I asked the staff, and they seemed to think the pen could be used on all iPads. I'll have to send this one back to Best Buy. Going back to my freebie promotion stylus pen.

    This stylus is great for iPad's that aren't compatible with the Apple Pencil. Bluetooth works great and holds a charge well.

    The only complaint I would have is that it is electronic, you have to charge it although it does seem to have a pretty good battery life. I would just think they could make a stylus for an iPad kinda like they have for a 3ds

    Thought that this would work with my wife's iPad Air, but could never get it to even recognize the device. Returned it and got my money back. Won't try that manufacturer again.

    This was a generic, required ink cartridge for an Epson printer. Other than being grossly over-priced, the quality of the ink is excellent.

    The pen works nice but the calibration is off. When you try to write it can be a little off. I also don't know about the palm rejection. I used it with an iPad air 2 and I don't think it is worth the money

    I have been looking for a way to just simply write notes on my iPad! A standard stylus has never worked well for me. This fine line stylus did take a little time to get used to, but the time spent sure paid off. One letter or note taking suggestion would be: Select your color and font size, then turn off all options while writing or drawing.

    I have been searching around for a good stylus for digital painting and drawing on my iPad and this one works perfectly. it comes with an app that lets you organize your notes and drawings like digital versions of moleskin notebooks, which i like very much.

    just looking for a basic stylus that can be used for writing and drawing (I'm a teacher and wanted to try to use Ipad for teaching--broadcast via Apple TV). I spent some time using this stylus and the Bamboo Paper app but what is missing for me is the "drag" or resistance that I am used to when writing. I used a large rubber tip stylus that I borrowed from a friend and that was better in terms of providing "feedback" and allowing me to write more clearly. If they make the tip with a replaceable rubber material, I'd consider it..but for now, it sits unused.

    Pressure sensitivity is awesome, sure, it may have a little lag, but not enough for me to care. When I say some lag I mean very very very little. Hey, take a chance and get it, you won't regret it.

    Greatly works with purchased Bamboo apps, but not with any other apps. I mean it does work with other apps but not that precisely.
