No pressure sensitivity? No professional function. There's nothing "professional" about this.
The original Astropad Graphics Tablet app for the iPad is temporarily available for $19.99, down from its usual price of $29.99. An optional Apple Watch app included with Astropad Mini also includes quick-access customizable shortcuts that can be selected with just a tap.Īstropad Mini works with all iPhones that have iOS 8 installed and all Macs running OS X Mavericks 10.9 or later.Īstropad Mini is available from the App Store for an introductory price of $4.99, a 50-percent discount from the eventual regular price of $9.99. Pinch and zoom gestures are supported for navigation, and there's also a set of customizable keyboard shortcuts. In our testing with Photoshop CC, Astropad Mini worked lag free over WiFi, but there's also the option to plug it in via USB for an even faster connection.
Since it's just mirroring the Mac's display, it also works with any Mac app, from photo editing apps to graphics apps. Astropad Mini works with a finger or with a range of different Bluetooth-enabled styluses, supporting pressure sensitivity with certain models like the Adonit Jot Touch. Mirroring the Mac's display to the iPhone produces little to no lag with speeds up to 60 FPS, and edits made within apps like Photoshop or Pixelmator are displayed in realtime on the Mac's display, for a seamless editing experience.
