Best fine tip writing stylus for iPad Air?

Hey ystino!

so, 1: i only reccomend noteshelf

2: i had jot evernote and i think jot touch 4 is really similar to it. If u study in a library, the noise will be quite a pain in the ***, especially for

the others. But the bottom line is jot touch 4 isnt as good as jot pro.

3: so about screen protectors. I never had but i had a small scratch from jot evernote. Jot pro did not create any scratches. The reason i dont use a screen protector is to not affect the performance of my stylus

Hoped i helped 🙂

Noteshelf!

Hey malik! So ive been using it for nearly 2 years now. When i take notes from a lecture i do not have the zoom mode on and i write really fast therefore my notes are just scrap notes. so when i finish the lecture i upload them in my dropbox and when i go home i rewrite my scrap notes in zoom mode by coping from a screen (either laptop or cellphone). It takes just a bit more time BUT i have everyhting organised in dropbox and i know where to

find everymote ive made.

good luck with medschool!

Im using noteshelf!

thanks, what about "notes plus" app?i only have access to jot script with pixelpoint and touch with pixelpoint and a coupe of Wacom styli like fineline,alpha, duo and feel,i'm gonna have a lot of note taking work,maybe 10 hours a day, should work with PDFs (annotating etc),which stylus do you think fits my work?

i heard notes plus is a really really good application but i havent tried it since theres no lite edition.

i would recomend the jots with the pixelpoints. i had jotr script and it just a waste of money. there was such a big fuss about it, but it turned out to be huge failure. no wonder after a couple of months they produced jot touch, which is really similar to jot script. thats why im not even bothering of trying it out. i reccomend a stylus with no bluetooth technology.from all these i would suggest wacom feel. that looks like a stylus with precision

great, have you looked at their compatibility chart for feel? there's no apple product there, is it a big deal?

by the way, I've seen many of these styli don't work on ipad AIR as well as on other devices and I have an air, what's with the air?

no idea

I have both an iPad Air and an iPad 3. Never noticed any difference in the way any of the stylii I have work from one to the other. The Jot Pro works on both quite nicely.

thanks, i'm gonna buy it,what about bamboo stylus?have you used it? (I think it's a basic stylus from Wacom,15 $ I guess)

No, sorry, I haven't tried it. People have said good things about it, though.

Jot Flip (from 2012) with disk nib on iPad 3

Pros:

• Base models quite cheap now! (≈$20-30).
• Quiet.
• Doesn't 'miss' sections of writing with a screen protector.
• Nib lasts far longer with continued use than any rubber stylus I've used (they all broke 1 month or so in).
• Very precise and simple (i.e. no battery & easy to see tip placement).

Cons:

• Nib requires replacement every 3-4 months (given everyday use).
• Grit caught between nib and screen protector causes scratches (and frosting long term).
• Nib can break off or become loose with excessive wear (Although you can sometimes just reattach if you can find it!).
• The very fluid writing feel takes a bit of time to get used to (very low friction).

I've been using a Jot Flip by Adonit for the last two years or so. Wonderful stylus! Main drawback is that the plastic disk at the tip tends to wear down after 3-4 months (mind you, it's in constant use throughout the uni semester...) and if you have a screen protector, the stylus will completely ruin it over time. This seems to happen whenever a small piece of dust or grit gets stuck between the disk nib and the screen, and this will generally make the screen protector frosty with continued use, with the occasional deep gouge. As a result I haven't been game enough to try the stylus without a screen protector for fear of damaging the glass (which most likely is considerably tougher than a plastic film). Other than this, it's a great stylus, and the price has dropped quite a bit since I bought mine in 2012. Not too noisy either (especially if you're used to running-writing).

Also, if you're considering a rubber tip, they're no good for long-term use. I found the tip (incredibly smooth at first) became overly grippy with continued use. It ended up leaving dark marks on the screen from wear (just rubber marks, which could be scrubbed off) and subsequently the grip caused the rubber to fault and tear. Very frustrating.

Noteshelf and justmobile stylus. No Bluetooth or battery needed. I write literally all day with this combo.

I have used my iPad mini exclusively to take notes for the last year and a half. I myself started with GoodNotes, and moved to Notability. I found GoodNotes to be a little better for handwriting, but not good enough to make be move back from Notability. Notability's advantages are in its organizational system, ability to record lectures at the same time with one button press, and the Mac client that allows me to view and listen to my notes synchronized with the lecture audio. I've found the file sizes to be absolutely tiny.

Notability and GoodNotes both have options to use iCloud, Dropbox, or Box for storage, and I know Notability will also use Google Drive.

I'm currently using a cheap Monoprice stylus, and I loathe it. I'm looking for a better stylus for writing myself, and might check the Jot Pro out.
