I wanted to try Astropad specifically for use with the iPad music notation app call StaffPad, in order too see if the handwriting recognition could be improved. I’d almost all but given up on my love for the app… until now! Astropad and the replaceable metal pencil tips are unbelievable. A true game changer for those of us used to good old pencil and paper for traditional music notation and want to keep the ‘brain to hand’ connection of being ‘in the flow’. Thank you for this product! I’m recommending it to as many fellow music composers who want to try iPad hand writing recognition in order to see if it’s truly viable. Well, Astropad has made a quantum leap forward possible for musicians.
Such a simple, but amazing thing
Very well made
Perfect in all!!! I'm running Apple beta 26 systems - I haven't noticed any issues. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND
I had a bigger , heavier, easel stand, for my older iPad Pro. Never had it with me when I needed it. Too bulky to carry everywhere. The AstroPad easel fits in my small backpack & I use it all the time ! Great product !
I love this screen protector so much!! There is just a small scratch that occured after an unknown short amount of time but it hasn't affected my drawing at all.
I was afraid to don't be available to work in my Mac mini when I need to be out of the office. But this device just solve everything, anda I work as if I was in my office.
Hope it is durable - it’s a great writing experience
I’ve used Astropad and I did like it, but the lag sometimes killed the mood. However, with Luna Display, the lag is almost not noticeable to me. I love that I can use Affinity Designer and use gestures to make it feel like I’m working in Procreate. This is the best experience for a wireless display if you already have a MacBook and an iPad. If you have an M2 iPad Pro, this experience is even better thanks to the hover feature, which I feel is necessary to navigate everything only on your iPad with Apple Pencil. If you have an M1 iPad Pro like me, you will have to use your trackpad for some things. Things like accessing the dock from one display to another, I have my dock hidden. Other than that, you won't need to access your MacBook.
The only thing I wish could be fixed is the notifications to turn on gestures I don't want. The notifications don't get in the way; they can be distracting, but I pretty much ignore them now. One feature I wish they would add is to implement something like Apple Sidecar that displays the Touch Bar. That will be perfect!
I have used Luna Display nearly every day! I wish I had gotten this sooner.
Работи прекрасно със Уиндоус и Мак! Благодаря!
This is the best pencil matte screen protector, just feels amazing writing on it using the provided tip in comparison to others I have tried in the past. Best part I can remove it when viewing content, so color and sharpness of the video is not compromised.
If you are using your iPad for writing or sketching, I highly recommend this protector.
It looks, feels, and even sounds like pencil on paper. The added friction allows me to use Procreate’s Quick Shapes effectively, even with my shaky hand. The non- glare screen is a bonus.
I love it! Paper texture on ipad! This is what ive been looking for
I feel it so much better for my handle drawing and quieter sound during I was drawing. And I bought second of Rock Paper for my mother, an artist/illustrator so she is satisfied too. Before that, I was frustrated and very slide to draw without it. Thank Matt and team
Great for drawing and note taking!!
I’ve owned screen protectors from other brands before, but none can compete this is by far the best screen protector for writing on iPad. And the metallic tool tips make it even better.
I use my iPad mini for drawing, this makes it so much easier to get clean lines
After getting rid of my previous e-reader, wheat I really missed was the size and feel of holding it while have a clear view of the screen. Moving over to a reading app on my phone was convenient but I didn’t like holding my phone to read. I kept accidentally switching pages or closing the app. Bookcase has been perfect. I can read with a clear view on my screen and holding it feels just like I’m holding an e-reader that I was used to.
The NFC inclusion is incredible. I just place my phone and my reading app immediately appears. Pairing it with also having a certain focus setting on my iPhone to automatically set when I add my phone to the bookcase, I can read and have a distraction free reading time.
Can’t wait to see what y’all come up with next!
Luna Display is easy to install and I am super happy that I can use my old Mac PC as second display for my work laptop :-)
Having finally retired my 2015 iMac, I’ve been regaling friends with tales of my new Mac Mini keeping sixteen apps open while a rendering Photoshop drawing with twenty-two active layers,
But how I missed that gorgeous, huge, sharp retina screen sitting in my closet. Luna Display rescued me. I discovered that I merely needed to harness the power of Luna to continue using my treasured 27” retina display as a fully capable external monitor.
I ran a Thunderbolt cable netween my new Mini and the old iMac, plugged a Luna Display adapter into one of the USB ports on the Mini, and launched Luna apps on both machines. Immediately - no fuss, no magic - the old iMac serves as an external monitor on the Mini. Gor under $100 I have a $2;999 Mac Studio equivalent display and Insave the recycly fees ascwell.
That’s a real win. I’m happy.
My iMac has 21.5" screen and macOS Catalina 10.15.7 loaded. Consequently it is getting slow and sluggish. It cannot handle loading newer apps. That makes me think it is time to buy a new desktop computer. Then I encountered Luna. I thought with Luna, I can use my iMac as the 2nd monitor for my MacBook. In this way, the iMac will live as long as it is physically running and the obsolescence is out of the equation. The Luna software installation is relatively straightforward. A minor problem I had was the small discrepancies between two sources of installation instructions in terms of the order of the procedure, which made me a little confused. The software works as advertised. The software for the 2nd monitor terminates here and there if the computer idles for certain time which bothers a little but tolerable. Now I have an option to use my MacBook as a standalone device or with a bigger iMac monitor while using the iMac as a desktop computer to do the things its OS can handle as well.
Using an Astropad Luna to use and older iMac with 4K screen that doesn't have screen sharing as a second scree on a new Mac mini. The installation process was very simple and was completed in short order. This required installing the Luna App on both the older and new Mac mini. The only beef I have is that, on the new Mac mini, the instructions reflected an older version of System Preference. I managed, however to muddle through without any errors. With the two Macs working together over the LAN, there is no noticeable delays. Oh, and a second beef🙂: The old iMac's Retina screen looks so glorious that I had to order a new 4K screen to replace the 1080p main screen.
This is a great accessory for my iPhone 16 pro max . I now read more and more. Thanks you
Love it! Flexibility to remove and fix. I give 25 out of 10 to Astropad. Recommend this product.
