As a fan of Astropad (I helped with the initial crowdfunding a few years ago, when they launched with the Luna product) betatested this product...
I don't know if it's better in the live version, but in the beta there was a big problem with the response delay between the iPad and the MacAir M1 …
Let someone know if they messed it up...
Nice if it works, but I prefer to do everything directly on the iPad and luckily I don't really need computer software. That's why I once wished that Apple something like iPad Pro made me have fun with the computer and its junk.
