"As a concept artist, I used to feel chained to my desk by bulky hardware. Astropad Studio changed everything. I can now run full ZBrush and Blender on my iPad Pro with virtually zero lag. The Liquid Extreme technology is the real deal—it is the first time wireless drawing actually feels professional enough for a high-pressure production workflow."

Marcus Chen, Concept Artist

The customizable Magic Gestures and sidebar shortcuts have completely optimized my workflow, allowing me to stay productive whether I am in the studio or at a cafe."

Users also report frustrations with trial charges, account requirements, and unresponsive customer support.
