My 2-year-old daughter has been happily using the free Crayola Color Studio app on my iPad for months. Because she likes it so much I thought I'd buy her the iMarker to go with it, thinking it would give her more control than using her finger.
It arrived the other day. Firstly in order to activate it you need to use the stylus to complete a connect-the-dots on an iPad. Even this proved difficult to do - the stylus seems to not always make good continuous contact with the screen.
Now that we're up and running, the main problem is that you need to keep the iMarker almost perpendicular to the screen, otherwise the iPad doesn't seem to respond. This is not a natural pen position for anyone, let alone a child.
Really the only benefit I can see from the iMarker is that it unlocked more colouring pictures and a free-draw feature.
Quite disappointed in this product - the app on the iPad is great, so I'd recommend downloading this and just using your finger!!
