    I was first skeptical about getting the pencil for my iPad. But after getting it I found so many ways I could use it, Not only to draw write a correct and highlight. But also to ease moving things around and just being able to touch items rather than using my finger. All around it has made by browsing at work with the iPad so much easier. It works flawlessly as all Apple products do.

    I went back and forth on this for a while. I have an ipad, non-pro or anything, and its the oldest one thats supported by the pencil. So glad I bought it. I am using it to take notes for online college, and I have to say, its perfect. Yeah, its longer than it needs to be, and I like the features on the pencil 2, but im not buying a new iPad just to use the new features of the pencil 2. Worth every penny.

    It is nice working pen. Easy to charge. Afraid that I'll lose the small piece when charging. Not so sure that it is a needed accessory to get the job done considering the price. All in all good product.

    This is my first time digital drawing, and the pressure sensitivity is really wonderful and very useful. As far as I can tell the color is distributed well and the pixels align almost perfectly with the pen, so there is no lag. The only inconvenience is that when you charge it, it becomes a bit awkward to use the actual iPad, but if you charge the pen at night that will not be a problem. Otherwise I highly recommend this product if you want a portable and very functional digital drawing pen.

    I purchased the iPad pro with the Apple Pencil for my teenage daughter who is a student of art and illustration. I have compared reviews of Wacom tablets and the IPad pro with the Apple Pencil as a drawing tablet and my conclusion is the Apple Pencil is far superior to other drawing tablets. The way that the Apple Pencil can handle how the user tilt the pencil have not been done with other tablets. This is a far better drawing tools. So if you want a table to draw and also can do the things that a laptop can do, go with the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil.

    This pencil is so accurate. No lag. The only thing is you gotta get use to it. But after a while you'll start writing as if it was on paper.

    This writing stylus is a great addition to the iPad Pro. I got it to go with my 12.9 and for a graphic designer or artist this is a necessity. I'd rate this at 4.5 out of 5. The feel is great. I've been using Wacom stylus and tablets for many years. The feel of this is even smoother. Of course, the capabilities need to be exploited by the apps to really make the pen shine. Adobe has quite a few free apps for free. The only things that keep this from being a 5 star item is: 1) no place to store the cap when recharging, 2) no place to put the USB cable connector when not charging the pen via a cable and 3) no clip to hold the pen in your pocket when not in use. These are trivial compared to the advantages the pen offers, but they are little details that Apple didn't take into consideration..

    Very easy to use. Paired it with the app procreate and works fantastic. The only flaw it has it the cap at the top. It can easily be lost when charging your pen.

    Best stylus I've ever used

    The Apple Pencil is actually the main reason i got the iPad Pro. I was content with my IPad Air, but when Best Buy was offering a special I jumped at the chance to be able to use the Apple Pencil. I had been using pressure sensitive styli with my iPad Air, but they only recently got to be a little better than feeling like you're using a crayon. In fact the best ones are no match for the Apple Pencil. Perhaps they will improve as they adapt to the iPad Pro technology but right now the Apple Pencil may cause me to forget I even have a Wacom Cintiq tablet.

    Although the apple pencil looks simple and costs what seems to be a hefty amount, this device has completely changed my life as a student. I no longer carry multiple notebooks everywhere. I only carry my iPad and pencil as all my notes are taking digitally. Thats only part of the minimization and organization. The iPad allows me to search my hand written notes so that I am no longer struggling to find something I wrote. That cuts down on time I spend trying to refresh on material and allows me to more effectively study.

    I am so impressed with the Apple Pencil. It is by far the best stylus of any kind that I've ever used for an iPad. I have always liked the idea of using a tablet to take notes, but sometimes prefer my own handwriting to typed notes. The Apple Pencil's palm rejection completely eliminates that problem altogether. The Pencil allows you to write on the iPad just as you would on paper with the option to switch to typing at any time. If you've never tried an Apple Pencil, you will have to try it out to believe how sharp it is.
