Stylus use with Collector app

Question

I am currently looking for some advice in regards to using a device that is optimized to use a stylus (namely the Samsung Galaxy Note) with the ArcGIS Collector app.

Does anyone have any experience of using a stylus with the Collector app?  If so, what are your thoughts and recommendations?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Sam,

After I posted this and didn't receive a response, I went to our ESRI account manager.  He was extremely helpful and sourced a Galaxy Note 3 and tested it with the Collector app.

They tested it on point and polygon files (with subtypes and domains) and found that the stylus made using the app more accurate and there wasn't anything they couldn't do with the stylus.

I hope this helps you as much as it helped me.
