I use the device on an iPhone, so cannot directly address the Android. However, in my use, the sponge-type end works very well. The sponge or rubber ball is covered with a fiber mesh, which provides great control. The retractable pen end I use for a pen, to jot short notes. In practice, I use the pen portion very little, but always use the other end with the phone. John

You can't go wrong with this stylus. It's really great. The best one I have used. No you shouldn't use the pen tip on your screen it will scratch it. The fiber tip works great.

The one side is an INK pen tip, not a stylus pen tip. So no, I would not use it for your Adroid.

The pen tip is metal and not good on touch screens. I bought this one because it has a fiber tipped stylus. It is far superior to the rubber version. It is more precise, requires a much lighter touch, and lasts a lot longer.

Christi, I wouldn't use the pen tip on a touch screen, they are too easily scratched. Use it to write with. However, I do think you'll just love the Limur tip on your Android screen. I hate those "sloshy" spongy types too. I must have gone thru a half dozen of those before I found the Limur. It's quite accurate, and sturdy, like a soft metal.

You can use this pen on any smartphone with a capacitive screen. I use it on a Samsung Galaxy 4. I bought one for my wife and she uses it on an iphone. I have also used it on my friends smartphones.It also eliminates finger prints and keeps the screen cleaner.

I am not a professional artist by any means, but I like to sketch and compared to other styli (that have rubber-like tips but are not covered by some type of special fabric), this one works very well. I don't feel like I have to press so firmly on the screen. I haven't compared it to other styli that are specifically made for drawing/art, so I can't tell you about that, but I can say that my search for a really great stylus is over. Hope this helped!

If I had to guess, no. This pen has a hard plastic nib to draw with and would only work on graphic drawing tablets. I think for android tablets it would be better to have a stylus that has the rounded rubber nub rather than this.

Hi Mary Ann, in my opinion I found this stylus a great replacement for any stylus on the market, I love it and would not accept nothing less. I hope that answers your question.

Hi Thomas C.So sorry for the late reply! Cleaning up a few missed messages today. The answer to the question in layman's terms is, taking the place of your finger. A capacitive or "touch screen tablet or phone will work with your finger or any other 'capacitive' stylus. If you have further questions, just let me know here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/contact-seller/contact-seller.html/ref=aag_m_fi?ie=UTF8&asin;=&isCBA;=&isPopup;=&marketplaceID;=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID;=&sellerID;=AP0GL3AYI3XW1Have a good day!Maureen / The Friendly Swede Hi Thomas C.So sorry for the late reply!

Hello Jeanne , my S pen didn't work with my Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4 even my Tap 1 unfortunately. I think there is no difference between black or white tips.

Only as a normal stylus because you would need to be on at least iOS 7 to run the smart apps and software required to make the drawing pressure sensitivity functional. So you would be better off with a soft-grip standard stylus and spend less money on it. A great wide-body stylus with grip and ergonomic design is the Cosmonaut. Well worth the $30. Or Wacom's other economical stylus' are good too. Happy shopping. :-)

Hi deuse! Yes, all of our stylus pens are made to be used on any capacitive touchscreen device (so basically any screen you would use your fingertip on). If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

The type of digitizer is different allowing for the use of the stylus. You can't use a stylus without a special type. I think there is some S pen software, but other than that nothing.

It works good with the sketchbook for android app that I use on a dragon touch 10.1 inch tablet. I haven't finished complete sketches with it yet because of all the features that comes with it, but am able to color scanned or photographed pencil sketches from my portfolio. The only difference I'm unsure of is that I have a screen protector on my tablet and the pen to screen interaction might be a little off if you don't wipe your screen first since the tip is micro fiber. But all in all I think it's a good pen because it has a sharper and more visible point to allow fine long strokes, but depending on your software that can be easily fixed with zoom and a range of point size features.

This helps one draw, and you can swipe with the pen via a tablet pc look with the right freeware, but you must ask the internet the right questions and keep searching.....so in a way this is and is not a tablet reader sort to speak.

I never used Bamboo stylus, but i know its works with many app and Pencil just work well with Paper (rubber function, blurry with finger), without this app, its just a normal stylus.

Because the stylus tip is broad it's not good for precision drawing/writing. When I want to write/draw with precision I use a Musemee Notier which has a clear disc tip so you can see the point of drawing. But the Notier doesn't have a ballpoint pen in it which is why I own both. I mostly use this stylus/pen for my iPhone and the Notier for my iPad.

The pen/stylus should have a soft rubber end like an eraser but it's not an eraser. Use the soft end against the screen to select apps, type, draw. Otherwise, it's a pen.

I originally had the Note 2014 edition and replaced it with a SP2. Ultimately, I wanted to - take notes with a stylus- work with Word (work/school)- annotate PDFs with a stylus- Full web browsing (teach online, so full browser was key)Ultimately, Android is terrible at handling PDFs (seriously, check the reviews for PDF annotating apps) whereas Drawboard and OneNote are perfect for this. Also, native Word beats any and all attempts by other programs. OneNote + Wacom Stylus = perfection in note taking.And... as a bonus, all the desktop programs work. I can do everything with my SP2.
