Reviews for Disney Creativity Studio - Smart Stylus

I would like to set the record straight about the stylus. When I first started trying to use it, my son and I experienced many of the same issues the other reviewers wrote.

However, looking back at the quick start guide I realized that this is a haptic pen. The quick start guide pointed out that it is important to keep the holes near the eraser and the microphone of the iPad clear. The iPad is actually keeping track of stylus position, in drawing mode, based on sound not audible to humans being emitted from the holes near the eraser in the pen. The quick start guide also states to avoid noisy rooms (TVs and fans) or a room where another stylus is in use.

That being said, while sophisticated, the stylus is more complex than I feel necessary for this application. To successfully use the stylus, we found that after putting the tip of the stylus to the screen, you must pause for a second for the iPad microphone to triangulate the position of the stylus. I hope this helps clear up the confusion.

I love the stylus! Activation was very simple along with figuring out the many different options on the pen and switching back and forth. Love the fact that it works just like a regular drawing utensil, but is really so much more. The eraser is an amazing touch!
Would definitely recommend.
