Astropad Slate Pen Tablet

This app could be a good replacement for your current tablet if only it had better support in options. Still needs the following improvements: Trackpad Area: Add 60% and 80% mode Trackpad Area: Add Custom settings mode (by dragging the canvas to a self selected size) Add: Allow to move off screen (I currently can’t get the launchbar to pop-up) Add under trackpad area a new space for: Left + Right click options (visually visible area) Add support for: Apple Pencil pro Press pencil is: Right Click or swap to eraser (and back) Tap pencil is: same options as above (allow user to set its own preference); it would be even better if we could set presets for brush types. Allow Barrel Roll while painting with Apple Pencil Pro. Set pressure sensitivity for pencil. Improve overall Stability Mac App: Allow start automatically at launch as a preference setting (in minimised mode) Mac App: Set AstroPad Slate as Menu Bar option instead of placing it on the launch bar. Provide more hand/finger gestures: Allow Rotate with two fingers and set option for a gesture for smart zooming. Open mission control by three finger swipe up/down from ‘off trackpad area to in trackpad area’. Switching between apps by: swiping three fingers from ‘off trackpad area (left/right) into trackpad area/ But all in all there is much potential if Astropad takes this app seriously

The functions of this app were exactly what I was looking for years. However, the response time is still not there yet. The touchpad in this app is quite laggy and I can’t really use while working. Using the apple pencil is also not very smooth and often it stutters. It is a great idea with a lot of potential and the functions work, but it’s just not there to be used professionally.

Virtually no lag when connected via usb, and works as expected. I only wish it had some extra features closer to what Wacom offers. Things like customizable shortcuts per app...sort of like the studios on astropad studio, quick keys, and added support for the Apple Pencil Pro's Tap & squeeze gestures. On the downside, it's practically unusable when connected via wifi. But overall, a good replacement for pen tablets.

ive wanted something like this for. awhile now since i use astropad studio in a similar way, so im super happy to have something like this that does exactly what i need! the only things i think could be improved are adding double tap shortcuts, and theres a small but noticeable lag when first beginning a stroke. for slower strokes its not that big a deal but its extremely noticeable when making lots of quick strokes. thank you team for making this!

Even using USB connection, mouse mode is very jerky; had to use mapping mode. Scrolling is jerky too; have to scroll slowly. It bounces sometimes. Bad UI for visually impaired folks; should allow black on white or themed. At least you give lines for handwriting. Can’t have app for Mac auto connect with ipad via login items. Have to reconnect when switching iOS apps. Flawed but somewhat useful. I consider the payment an investment. I assume with a M3 iMac and a M2 ipad pro it rocks.

Would really love to see three finger swipe for Mac to replace magic track pad but otherwise pretty much does what it says on the tin

Works as expected, can navigate Mac cursor with iPad and draw with my pencil

I love to be able to use my Mac with my Apple Pencil. It’s so much better for my wrist and hand ergonomics in general. Slate is good way to take a break from the mouse
