Great for the price and beginners. Not built for professionals.
I’ve used my GFs Apple Pencil and iPad Pro and then I decided to give this a chance. At $25 it was a bargain.Simple packaging and design.Pros: compact. Slim. Affordable for young designers or people looking to experiment. Works with a wide variety of devices including iPad mini 4. Pressure sensitive.Cons: button placement tends to get in the way. Stylus MUST be used as a near 90° angle to the screen surface otherwise tracking on screen is pretty far off. Sensor seems to be where the nib meets the body of the stylus. REALLY BAD LINE CHATTER when drawing slower diagonal lines (not a problem w faster strokes). No dust cap/cover for USB port. Outdated USB port (should be a Usbc). No palm rejection.I tested the stylus w a few different apps including art and note taking. Also included a few doodles I did to test the stylus.As far as art:PaperProcreateMoleskineConceptsAdobe SketchiBis... works pretty well w the exception of moleskine. Moleskine app kept giving me line chatter at every angle including straight V/H lines. Stylus responds well to Paper and Procreate.Note Taking apps:I’ve yet to find a “primarily” note taking app like Notes+ that responds well. If you’re drawing on it, it’s not that bad, but if you’re practicing calligraphy or just taking short hand notes, it can be a pain. But that’s a matter of your comfort in how things look. I notice w quick note taking, it becomes inaccurate and can’t track as fast as I’m writing. That may be the app or the stylus or the combination of both.

Loved this product, worked great for such a small stylus. It is no longer connecting to my iPhone 8+. It still charges, but it's no longer being discovered via bluetooth. Disappointed.
For context: - I use a Wacom for my laptop so I have a pretty good sense of how natural and elegant a stylus can be when things work and feel the way they should.
- I paid for this product with my own money and was not incentivized in any way to write this. I spent 2 hours on this review because it's an exceptional product and frankly, I'm rather sad that it isn't getting any shine when it's the best phone stylus I've ever used.
With no reviews or promotion on Amazon it was definitely a leap of faith to buy the Snap 2, but the unique features (remote shutter? case magnet? whaaaa?) and the return policy won me over :) I'm glad they did because this is exactly what I wanted. It's compact, precise and super easy to use. It also feels quite good in the hand, which surprised me since I wasn't sure I'd love the shape.
I haven't had any of the problems with wiggly lines that are mentioned here, I'm posting a video that shows me writing with the Snap 2 in different apps. Any crooked lines you see are 100% due to the media chosen or my unsteady hand :)
I also haven't had any problems connecting via Bluetooth, and I usually have 2 other devices connected at all times. The only thing I noticed about connecting is that the instructions say the light flashes twice but it's more of a pulse from dim to bright.
And out of sheer vanity: I love this because it's gorgeous and yep, great for selfies :) Add to that the super handy magnet and I am completely in love, lol. (I do wish it came with more than one though, I have a few cases and the adhesive doesn't allow swapping.)
The only thing I'm *not* a fan of is that it's not silent, the tip clicks when it touches the screen. But what it lacks in stealth it totally makes up for in precision and that's a trade I'm cool with.
NOTE: I researched for over a month before purchasing this, and I only found it because of a review on another site. Not sure why Amazon hid this brand from me but I literally NEVER heard of these guys until I read that article. That is puzzling given all of the searching I did, not to mention how consistently disappointed other brands have left me (and I've tried quite a few).
STAR COUNT: giving it 4 because I haven't had it for very long, will increase to 5 a few months from now if all goes well.

I'm on my third one. The first one suffered critical button failure within a month and was replaced for free. I've found this to be so useful that when the second one died at 6 months, I came right back to purchase another. This time I'll add a protection plan so hopefully I won't have to decide if I should try a 4th time.
So in my review, this pen lost 2 stars for durability but to be clear, it had all 5 stars to begin with! It was comfortable to hold, even with my arthritic hands. Accuracy was great, it fit well into a standard pen holder, and it made using my iPad so much easier. Battery life could have been better but charging it every other day isn't really unreasonable. I have to admit that I didn't start using the "snap" feature until recently but once I did, I quickly started to wonder why I hadn't used it earlier. The price is reasonable, at least if you don't have to buy multiple, and it's from a solid company. In short, I think this is a solid choice.
(I promise to return of this one fails with in the year to update this review.)
Excelente producto, al principio batallé con el iPhone X para tomar notas pero funciona bien con el app de paga GoodNotes en modo zoom, además sirve para control remoto de cámara. Muy buena opción si quieres usar tu celular para tomar notas en lugar de una libreta y también para modificar fotos. Lo indico malo es que es muy pequeño y se pierde fácil si no tienes cuidado con el. La batería si ha que cargarla a diario
Usare una penna su un telefono? Forse un'utopia, sebbene Samsung con la serie Note ci dimostra che l'integrazione sia possibile e con risultati decisamente eccezionali. Ho voluto dare fiducia ad Adonit, i cui prodotti sono generalmente interessanti, e acquistare questa penna realizzata in maniera specifica per iPhone. Su un dispositivo come il mio (iPhone 11 Pro Max), con uno schermo da 6,5", sarebbe stata sicuramente d'aiuto in più occasioni. Al di là del buon grip della penna e della sua leggerezza, però, i vantaggi finiscono qui. Il feedback di scrittura è inesistente, il tratto è pessimo e il ritardo alla risposta è risibile. Scrivere con un qualsiasi pennino cinese da 50 centesimi avrebbe più o meno lo stesso risultato. Il problema, qui, è che per la penna viene chiesta una cifra molto più alta e, ad oggi, assolutamente ingiustificata. Buona l'idea, pessima la realizzazione
