Dissappointed with stylus. Ipad or stylus problem?

You have to initially Bluetooth pair the Adonit Pixel, setup the proper hand/palm position and in many apps, set up the stylus screen pressure sensitivity for each and every compatible app!

Once you have, initially, done all of this, all Adonit Pixel compatible apps will remember these settings for future use! Some Adonit Pixel users claimed their stylus doesn’t work, but it does work well IF you properly know how to set up the Adonit Pixel!

Here’s my “up to date”, comprehensive, but still incomplete, list of Adonit Pixel compatible apps for the iPad/iPad Pro.

All apps listed support pressure sensing and palm rejection.

Animation Desk


Amaziograph


Adobe Photoshop Sketch ( palm rejection ONLY, No pressure, no sensing/line variations )


ArtRage


Art Studio Pro


AutoDesk SketchBook


Colored Pencil


Comic Draw


Concepts


Interactive SketchBook


Inkist


Medibang Paint


ProCreate ( palm rejection improved using special, non- electrical conducting, lycra-based material drawing glove )

Pixelmator ( used to support Adonit. I have an older version that did. Not sure about their latest version )

Tayasui Sketches/Sketches Pro ( the new, free Tayasui Sketches School version works with this stylus, but without any

palm rejection or pressure sensing, so you need to use a special, non-electrical conducting drawing glove with the Sketches School version to lay your hand/palm down on the iPad’s screen )

ZenBrush/Zen Brush 2


GoodNotes


Notability ( palm rejection noticeably improved using special, non-electrical conducting, lycra-based material drawing glove )

Note Shelf


Notes Plus


Notes Writer


QuickNotes X Pro


uPad


Zoom Notes


PDF Expert


PDF Pen


Foxit PDF

This stylus works with other non-compatible apps, too, but without any palm rejection and/or pressure features.
You can use this stylus with other apps but will not be able to lay

your palm on the screen, unless you use special, non-electrical conducting, lycra-based material drawing glove that works by isolating your hand/palm and allow you to lay your hand/palm on the screen as you draw in these non-compatible Adonit stylus apps.

Good Luck!

Try different palm/hand position settings.

Sometimes the one they want you to use based on how you actual write doesn't always end up being the best position that works best on a glass tablet if your hand/palm angle changes depending on how you hold your iPad.

Also, palm rejection maybe improved, in many compatible and non-compatible apps, by purchasing a, relatively, inexpensive, lycra-based drawing glove that better isolates your hand/palm ( and electrical impulses from your hand/palm ).

If you have the financial means to purchase the new older Apple Pencil compatible, 2018, 6th gen., 9.7 inch screen iPad, you will have to purchase the older Apple Pencil.

No other third party stylus will work with 2018, 6th gen iPad.

It might. I can’t recall what technology the mini 2 has. I know with the full sized iPads you needed at least an ipad 3 to have a stylus experience beyond simple tapping. Does Adoit say the mini 2 is compatible with their product?

There could also be a need for practice. Using styli can be a skill to be developed.
