Question

Adobe Ink and slide

Hi All, Just a quick question. I have just purchased an Adobe Ink and Slide (stop laughing please) to use on my Ipad 4, which I underdstand is compatable. However I have tried to download Adobe Sketch in order to use it but it cannot be downloaded as it needs IOS 13 or higher in order to be downloaded. The Ipad 4 however cannot upgrade beyond IOS 11. Is there any app I can download on my Ipad 4 which will be compatable with this pen and ruler for note taking and sketching?

    The general system requirements for using Adobe mobile apps are as follows:

    iOS

    iOS 9 and later running on iPad Pro, iPad 2 and later, iPhone 4s, 5, 5s, 5c, 6, 6S, 6 Plus, 6S Plus, 7, 7 Plus, and iPod Touch 5th Generation.

    Hi Nancy, 

    Happy New Year to you and good health though these difficult times. 

    Thank you for your quick response which is appreciated.

    I am using an ipad4 which then should be compatable with the pen. From looking at a couple of youtube review videos it looks as though the pen should at least act as a "capacative" pen even if not paired with an ipad via bluetooth? - is this correct?. My further problem is that I cannot download any current adobe drawing apps which now require ios 11.3 or higher as my ipad 4 cannot upgrade beyond IOS 9. If the pen does not work at least as a capacative pen can assume that it is faulty?. 

    I do have an app on the ipad called "sketches" which looks as though you can connect a pen by pressing a round circle that comes on the screen, but that might only be compatable with "Adonit" pens only? 

    Kind regard

    Martin

    You'll need to ask Apple.

    I can't help you with equipment.
