Easy to use. The carrier is a must have if you take it everywhere like me.

I love it! My only and main concern is the SonarPen Pocket, which seems to bend the drawing nib to the side, making it a bit tricky to draw with for the first five minutes after removing the Pen from its Pocket. This is not a major issue, though, and is fixed very easily. Other than that it is amazing and definitely worth the buy!

Great product and great value, at first I had some trouble getting it to work, but the developers helped out a bunch and now it works like a dream. Would recommend to any artist with an Android phone.

Lets start with the good,
1. Pressure sensitivity works very well.
2. Very affordable.
3. Comfortable to hold feels solid.
4. Has palm rejection for older iPads but not older android tablets like the tab E.
5. No battery life, or Bluetooth to deal with or worry about.
6. It’s pretty much plug and play.
7. Smooth drawing experience.
Now the not so good,
1. Pen sometimes disconnects from your device. (This is an app and driver issue not the pens fault)
2. The palm rejection can be a bit weak on older ipads, I had mine rejecting my palm about 80% of the time.
3. It can take some getting used to using the pen with a cord attached to it, the cord can get in the way and make it awkward to draw with.
4. Very few apps support this pen, but that should change if we contact app developers and let them know about this pen!
Overall I am happy with my purchase, I was more interested in giving new life to my android tablet but for now the older iPad is what I’m using currently. If you get this pen contact all the developers that have added this pen into their apps and ask for better support.

Models used:
– d-01j (Android Kirin 950)
– ipad mini4 (iOS A8)
Applications used:
– ibisPaint X
Good point:
– Very good cost performance.
– The cursor becomes more stable than the bluetooth type pen.(It is personal impression.)
– You can use either android and ipad if your used application is compatible.
Bad point:
– There are few supported applications.
– There are times when the pen does not respond when connecting to the device (react once it is plugged removed and in from the setting screen in the application.I think that this is due to the problem of perfection of the corresponding application.).
– Let’s hook it on something and use it successfully as the cable hits the hands and it may get in the way.
– It is a bit hard to use until you get used to it.
Summary:
– It is a good item that can draw a picture cheaply if it can be used well.
– I hope that applications that correspond to more pressure sensing will be added in the future!

Got one of these for my old iPad 3 (Retina 2012). Previously I used the Bamboo stylus from Wacom though the SonarPen lets me also write and paint with pressure sensitivity on IbisPaint. The stylus also works without pressure sensitivity for other apps as well. Though the pressure sensitivity is a welcome addition. Hope to see more software support from other apps in the future.
It is great that I can use my old iPad again as it was just gathering dust in a drawer before this. A great way to give back life to an old iPad.
