FAQs on the apps

All functions of the LAMY safari note+, except for the pressure sensitivity and the assignment of the function buttons, work immediately and without any installation or configuration on any compatible iPad. It is important that neither an Apple Pencil nor a stylus from another manufacturer is paired with the iPad. Please unpair them first.
The LAMY safari note+ is paired in the settings of the respective app. The exact location can vary from app to app.
Pairing is only possible in apps from our partners. A list of these apps can be found here.

The LAMY safari note+ is designed to function properly only when used directly on the iPad display. However, tests have shown that it often works even with many protective films.

The most common reason for this is that either an Apple Pencil or a third-party stylus is paired with the iPad. Please unpair and try again.
