I have iCube Tivizen Pico 2 ordered for my iPad mini and am completely thrilled. Class reception performance even in the ground floor apartment! Installation is totally simple and straightforward / self-explanatory. The pico 2 has all broadcast stations found in my area on the first scan immediately. The recorder I have not yet tested. Only the included micro USB cable is extremely short (only 20cm). The charging of the iPad mini and pico 2 simultaneously working properly. The pico 2 has its own battery. You can select in the settings, if he uses his own battery of the iPad, or. Default is iPad. On the go and in between a great thing!
