any iPad Air 2 stylus recommendations?

I found my old capacitive stylus is not working well with iPad Air 2. it works well with my iPad 2 and iPad mini 2.

any recommendations for stylus with iPad Air 2? for note-taking and sometimes drawing?

And I want to ask users using ICS2 from Wacom, Jot Touch with Pixelpoint and Jot Script from Adonit. How bad are those styluses perform on iPad Air 2? I saw Wacom and Adonit's announcement about the compatibility issues... looks pretty bad...

I have a new iPad Air 2 and just purchased the Jot Script. It is worthless - even with software that has been updated with their latest driver.


This is really frustrating. I have Samsung Note 4 phone and the stylus/hand writing recognition works great. I was hoping to get a similar experience on the iPad. It looks like Wacom/Adonit work great on older versions of iPad.


I also tried the Truglide Pro stylus - it didn't work well either.


Apple -> Is there *any* stylus that will work on a new iPad Air 2?

In addition, I am very happy to let you know that we have just released the Apex Plus, which is compatible with the iPad Air 2. If you would like to view this particular product page on our website, just click here and you will be directed to the correct page."

It seem like the model in the link provided is supposed to work with the Ipad air 2.

This is the answer Adonit gave me and I appreciate their honesty:

>>>

The iPad Air 2 has a somewhat redesigned screen compared to previous models of the tablet, and unfortunately that has caused some performance issues for many active styluses currently on the market, including our own.

We're currently working to address this through some updates to the Jot SDK (Software Developers Kit) that we provide to app developers, and have made significant progress so far. Please bear in mind though that this is an ongoing process and further improvements are coming. Everyone I've spoken to on our SDK team has been confident we'll be able to get this addressed through some further refinements to the software end of things.

We actually have a blog post with a bit more information on this issue here:

Also, a more recent update on this was posted here:

If you're weary of these issues, but still looking for a stylus, I would probably go with the Jot Pro or the Jot Touch 4 (found on Amazon or ebay). Those two models work perfectly fine with the iPad Air 2. Since the iPad Air 2 released after our products, the packaging lacks verification of compatibility with that model of iPad.

I hope this info helps you out but, if you have any other questions, just let us know!

So thanx to Sam from Adonit!
