NYT Reviews painting apps and styluses

The New York Times looks at three different drawing apps and how well the work with a stylus.

When he introduced the iPhone and iPad, Steven P. Jobs asserted the touch-screen devices didn?t need a stylus because humans come with 10 great touch-screen controllers sticking out of our palms: fingers. He was proved right, and most new smartphones and tablets don?t require a stylus to work their touch screen.

The pro version of Layers for the iPad, and brush strokes offered by the app.
But some apps work better with a stylus, particularly painting apps.

Not the most complete review I’ve read. It’s missing a number of good apps (like my fav ProCreate).

  1. The review is also missing pressure sensitve stylus like the Intuos Creative or Pogo Connect.

  2. Stephen is 100% correct. I see this all the time. Some things people will pay for without thinking. Others are to-the-death over every penny. Apps have been devalued due to overwhelming supply.

  3. I don’t understand why people keep focusing on the ipad as a drawing tool when alternates from Samsung and Microsoft have built in Wacom pressure sensitivity.
