Besides using the setup at home for testing, I used the Mac/iPad Pro to present to a user group at a restaurant we frequent. If there is a lot of traffic or spotty connectivity, you can actually connect your iPad directly with a USB cable, or manually tweak the connection, but I never had a problem. There’s a bit of handholding you have to do the first time, but every time after that, launching the Mac app gets you the “launch the app on your iPad” dialog box, (or launching the iPad version from your iPad and get the “Launch AstroPad on your Mac” dialog.) and you’re in business. To set up, you simply launch each one from their respective machines, making sure you’re on the same wifi network. But if you don’t need the pressure sensitivity pen input, or the “macro”-type feature of custom gestures, you’ll be OK with the Standard.

You not only get constant updates for free but priority support, Magic Gestures, Custom Pressure curves, the Eraser tool and a lot more. There are two pricing plans: the Standard, one-time-pay version for $30, and the Studio version, with a subscription that costs $65/year or $8/month. For the Mac app, you’ll need to visit to download. The install/download of the two pieces is easy enough – go to the app store for iOS and download.
