" ... I love this, I got it for my iPhone 6s plus for drawing on the go. ... Paired with Medibang it's an exceptional experience, especially for drawing on a phone! ... "
" ... No need to buy Apple Pencil if you have older generation iPads. ... It works in iPhone as well. ... "
" ... it is good stylus wright all our tablets and smart phones. ... "
" ... It is pretty good, but not on par with the IPad pro pen. ... "
" ... When I brought the pen, the product is so neat works perfectly with my Iphone 5s. ... Unlike Apple Pencil [ I still think the Apple Pencil is better], this stylus can be sync to most IOS devices. ... One part I like about this pen is how you can just turn it on without using a usb connection to pair to your devices unlike the Apple Pencil. ... "
" ... It works great on my Ipad Air 2. ... I use it to write notes on my Ipad. ... I also used it on my Iphone 6S and it works well. ... "
" ... Best Apple Pencil alternative. ... "
" ... I use this product with the iPad Air2. ... "

" ... I had such high hopes for this stylus since it was recommended by Goodnotes4 as one of the 5 styluses to use with their app. ... "
" ... Works terribly with Adobe Sketch and also Draw. ... "
" ... I have tried it on my iPhone 8plus and my iPad 4 on the following apps: concepts, adobe sketches and sketches. ... "
" ... I downloaded GoodNote for best compatibility and it still does not work well. ... "
" ... I took my screen protector off and tried multiple note-taking apps. ... "
" ... I tried for several hours to download apps that are said to work with any capacitive device and apparently all screens are not equal. ... "
" ... Tried this is 3 apps, procreate, sketchbook pro and sketches. ... "
" ... I tried using this with two of the recommended apps from Adonit - ... "

" ... Unfortunately, I got a defective unit. ... Then on the same night, it stopped working completely. ... "
" ... It worked at first but slowly stopped working all together ... "
" ... No feedback from Amazon since last week. ... "
" ... This product is very faulty. ... "
" ... And about 2 days into owning it, tge buttons stopped working in it other than to turn it on. ... "
" ... It is not working! ... "
" ... I've had it for more than a month and I've tried everything to make it work the way it is advertised. ... "
" ... The rest either only recognized it intermittently, or not at. ... "

" ... It works well with Procreate and is definitely pressure sensitive. ... "
" ... Feels just like a real pen in the hand, and actually seems more durable than Apple Pencil. ... "
" ... Very happy with the in hand feeling as well as the performance on my iPad ... "
" ... The stylus has two buttons near the tip, where my fingers naturally rest. ... "
" ... Great feel and responsive. ... "
" ... The balance is very nice and although it does feel a little different than holding a pen it doesn't take long to adjust. ... The tips accuracy is a tiny bit off which will take time to adjust to. ... "
" ... Doesn't have it's rubber grip, but it is more durable, thinner, and feels better in your hand. ... "
" ... Finally, I found the one I am comfortable with. ... "

" ... Nice pressure sensitivity and charges easily. ... Be sure to keep track of the charger cause it’s tiny! ... "
" ... Another thing that I loves about this is the magnetic charger. ... The charging dock is USB type and has a magnetic charging base. ... When you do receive the product, they only include pen and charging station. ... "
" ... Nice-looking charger/dock, but it's easy to drop stylus while it stands in dock without connecting to computer. ... "
" ... Does charge fast though. ... "
" ... i like it it charges well and has a good feel. ... "
" ... It comes with a portable charging platform and the pixel itself keeps a charge for days. ... "
" ... It is really comfortable and has a really cool charging "dock." ... "
" ... However, it will fully recharge in less then twenty minutes. ... "

" ... Box with its sticker seals was opened, box had a little tear. ... "
" ... After using it for a month, the tip is already falling off and won't work without it. ... "
" ... I've always used some form of foam or mesh tipped styluses and I'd been fairly happy with their performance, with the exception that they do not support palm rejection or pressure sensitivity. ... "
" ... 5) fragile charger: mine already broke, the center of the charger has a metal ball above the spring for contact with the pen. ... Mine fell out . ... 6) Fragile pen tip: don't put the pen tip near anything, otherwise slight knock will make it very loose ... "
" ... However, I received this one in April and it is already gone, the tip has ripped off and is absolutely nothing like my other one that I had to replace. ... "
" ... They should be a different color and maybe a few bralle style bumps on them so you can find them easily. ... "
" ... I ended up getting one of the pens they give away at shows as advertisements that have a rubber tip and it worked better than this. ... "
" ... The tip of the pen came loose after using it under 10 times, it is now shifting around in its housing and not accurate and frustrating to use. ... "

" ... Used it for note taking over a period of 5 full-day meetings without recharge. ... No issue with battery life. ... "
" ... Hopely it will last long time . ... "
" ... Battery seems to last forever - I haven't had to charge it yet. ... "
" ... It does seem to have good battery life, but what good is that if you can't use it effectively. ... "
" ... The battery life is superb, lasting weeks with normal usage. ... If you are using it for intensive drawing or writing (think hours at a time of constant use)the battery life will last for ten hours or so, in my experience. ... However, it will fully recharge in less then twenty minutes. ... "
" ... The good thing though, is that because I lost it I have been able to see that the battery life on this thing is AMAZING. ... "
" ... But it also charges to full extremely fast, less than 20 minutes for me personally. ... "
" ... Love it , it will last about 6 hours on a full charge and days on standby. ... "

" ... The buttons are in a place that automatically erase and all of a sudden--you touch it while you are writing accidentally--and the word goes away! ... "
" ... And about 2 days into owning it, tge buttons stopped working in it other than to turn it on. ... "
" ... Now, about the two action buttons near the tip, these are an annoyance and obstacle to using it productively at all. ... They are in a place where your index fling is at and the front button is generally set to be the undo action, which means that if you write with any kind of pressure or grip it naturally, you're constantly undoing your writing. ... And yes, you could also disable the buttons function in the app options, but then you've got a useless button, not a feature. ... The second, higher up button is used for turning it on, but the button is black, as is the barrel of pen, which makes it impossible to see, unless you're under laboratory style fluorescent lights. ... The buttons are also flush with the barrel of the pen so you can't "feel" your way to the button by touch. ... You just end up squeezing the front of the pen hoping you're on the the button. ... "
" ... Also, when it DOES connect, the have to press really hard to make decent lines on MediBang. ... "
" ... The two buttons are hard to find while using the stylus. ... "
" ... While writing with the stylus, it felt like I had to press rather hard on the screen to get a response. ... "
" ... When you pick it up, you just have to push the button for a second or two and you're good to go! ... The undo button - as an academic, sometimes you come up with an idea while you're writing and the undo button is an absolute time saver! ... "

" ... Product didn't work as advertised. ... "
" ... There's no support for it other than email. ... "
" ... This is purely a waste product!! ... "
