    Not what I had hoped for

    There are specific applications that can use this stylus to get the benefits of a "connected" stylus. Those are limited and many cost extra money. I just wanted to use it in Microsoft products (OneNote, Word, etc.) on my iPad or PC touchscreen for note taking. Comparing this to a non-connected stylus provides shows no difference. Also, my plan for taking notes was made difficult because the reaction time is slower if not using a connected app and writing on glass just doesn't feel normal. So, some of this was the stylus and some of it was the way I wanted to use it. I gave it three stars because I would like to see it able to be used in more apps. I returned the stylus after a short time trying to use it.

    The stylus is comfortable and precise. My only issue with it is that it does not have a clip and can be easily lost.

    Really nice feel, but did not work with iPhone 11

    The Wacom bamboo had a really nice feel, but would not be recognized by the bluetooth on my iPhone 11. Wacom told me that it is not currently supported, and they hope it will be in the future, and/or they would have a new product that would be. I was able to get it to work without pressure sensitive info, though it was clearly not what I wanted. I am still on the lookout for a good stylus for iPhone 11s. Logitech Crayon currently not supported either.

    Wacom - Bamboo Sketch Stylus - Black is a very nice device. I was using this with iPad and Adobe draw (illustrator) app. It connected easily. It was easy to use. However, when I used the Wacom pen with the app it would initially start each line with a little "hook". Very annoying. Nothing I could do to eliminate this glitch. I was not able to tell if this glitch was due to the pen or the app or a combination. As a result, I had to return the pen as it was not suitable for my primary application. Due to this problem I give the pen 3 stars. It worked well - just not with my application. Lastly, I feel this product is a bit pricey.

    I actually purchased this stylus to use on my Iphone and Ipad and was surprised at how well it works. After a year of use it is still performing flawlessly and I use it daily especially for navigating my Iphone, as I hate getting fingerprints on it. I don't use it as much for writing on my Ipad since I recently purchased the Apple pencil for that, and the one feature it does have over the Apple pencil is being able to swipe up from the home screen-that is a must for me!

    Not nearly and expensive as the Apple Pencil and I know I got what I paid for but for the price it is very accurate and the pressure tip works perfectly with my iPad and iPhone. Absolutely seamless. It can take some getting used to though, the accuracy is just slightly off and it can get a little frustrating. The charging and case are super convenient though.

    This pen does exactly what I need it to do. It works great with my iPad pro and is less expensive than the Apple pencil, which just suddenly quit working.

    I use it with my iPad 3. It doesn’t work in some of the programs but that’s fine. I wasn’t able to get it to pair either even after downloading the app.

    Love my new Bamboo Sketch Stylus. I love to draw and this stylus simplified using my fingers on my iPad. I enjoy drawing and creating characters with my Bamboo Sketch Stylus. It glides easily and it's light weight. I like that I can change the pen points when I wear them out from drawing every day.

    My daughter wanted to use her iPad (5th generation) as her new sketchbook. Since her iPad is in very nice condition, we did not want to buy a new one with the Apple Pencil. We saw this stylus and decided to buy it. She loved it, and she is now using it all the time!! I also tried it a couple times, and it works excellent even with this version of Ipad.

    Excellent constructed Stylus

    Overall the stylus is superior to most as the quality of contact to the screen emitting drawn lines or writing on the iPad is excellent and flows well. My only caveat is that everyone’s while I continually have to press the power button to activate it in. As long as the stylus is in continual use that is not an issue. Unfortunately in my line of work that’s not what I use it for therefore I continually have to turn it back on.
