Using other Stylus Pens in Fresco

I have a Wacom Bamboo stylus. Will this work instead of the Apple Pencil? For that matter, will any other syulus pens work with Fresco, or am I relegated to using an Apple Pencil?

 

Thanks!

Hi Dharma1,

 

I'm afraid that Fresco won't support any other stylus except for Apple pencil.

I'm sorry I can't be much of help here.

I'm using Fresco on an iPad Pro 11" 2nd gen (iOS 15.1) and can confirm that a Wacom Bamboo fine line does not fully work with Fresco. It won't pair (there isn't any option to pair a device in Fresco) and although tapping the stylus on some menus works, it won't draw. Occasionally it will put a dot on the screen, but never a line.  I'm having to use fingertips which isn't ideal.

Once again, we find Adobe's marketing language to be misaligned with actual capabilities...

 

"Adobe Fresco is our new drawing and painting app built for touch and stylus devices to help creatives unleash their creativity wherever inspiration strikes."

I have just started using Fresco and it works perfectly fine with my Ciscle Stylus pen and Apple iPad (6th Gen). The Ciscle is the most basic £9.99 pen. I can't vouch for the more expensive models.

I'm on iPad 6th gen (iPadOS 13.1) and my Logitech Crayon doesn't work on Fresco.
