Why is the Astropad Studio iPad app blinking off and on?

If your iPad app is blinking off and on, this is usually due to a poor Wi-Fi connection. You can confirm that Wi-Fi is the problem by connecting your computer and iPad via a USB cable. 

You may also be experiencing the following:

• Astropad not connecting initially
• High latency
• iPad “blinks”
• Slow redraw performance
• iPad app opens and closes

Here are some suggestions to try:

• Try restarting both computer and iPad
• Restart your router
• Move closer to your router, or move the router to improve signal
• Make sure AirDrop isn't currently in use

What could be the potential cause of failed Wi-Fi connection?

• Router is on 2.4GHz band (this can conflict with Bluetooth)
• Being too far from router, which weakens the signal
• Using Mac as a hotspot
• Ethernet cord plugged into your computer
• Use of multiple routers, and/or more than one network
• Wi-Fi extenders
• Corporate network security policies
• Firewalls and security programs
• Using VPN
