    Does exactly what I need

    • Written by from Winchester

    Like many folk I wasn't particularly happy when I realised I wouldn't be able to use my phone on any of the 5 appliances I have. Initially I tried one of the "official" products off of a certain internet auction site and just got really frustrated when the only thing it did was sync and charged my phone.

    Thought I'd hold out a bit to see if apple dropped the price on this item but decided to bite the bullet and popped into the local apple shop and picked one of these up today (was re-assured by the lad in the shop who said they'd happily take it back if it didn't work), what can I say, should never have tried the alternative from the auction site, works in the car and all of the docks I have at home, really chuffed.

    I've only knocked it down a star due to the cost but hey-ho that's the world we live in today.

    It does exactly what I need it to do, great product.

    30-pin Adapter

    Very good adapter but very expensive at a cost of £25.00.

    Not as simple as people seem to think

    • Written by from Calne

    Considering how small this item is, it's quite a clever bit of kit. To convert a digital signal from Lightning into an analogue output like you find in the 30 pin connector means this has a DAC (Digital Audio Converter) inside it, and it sounds quite good as well. I've not found a DAC this cheap, let alone this small. Only trouble is it looks a little tacky. More colour options would be nice.

    Brought to use with the new Ipad and Ion piano apprentice.

    • Written by from Epsom

    I brought myself a new ipad and wanted to use it with the Ion Piano Apprentice. The new Ipad has a lightning connection and the Ion Apprentice has the old 30 pin connection. I asked apple online and they suggested this product, I wasn't sure at first if this would work as the piano lights up to the tutorial on the ipad. So I thought I would save a few quid and buy a cheap one online. But I found after testing it, it didn't work, at all. So I decided to just spend more and buy the apple £25 adapter.
    I was really happy that the Ion Piano Apprentice did work with the New Ipad with retina Display.
    Great product, I just think its very expensive for what it is.
