Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have been waiting a long time for Apple to make this product. They produced exactly what I wanted - a direct draw, pressure sensitive stylus tool that can keep up with me. I have wanted other direct draw tables but they were usually far too expensive or not really portable. The Apple Pencil and the iPad Pro deliver natural drawing, a larger but portable size, smooth operation and all the good things about an iPad. I hope Apple produces other tool type - that is the only improvement possible.

Makes navigating easy and helps a lot. Now I get things right. Because my fingers sometimes would press different keys. Now it is smooth sailing

Charges super quick, has a great weight to it. The stylus tips can fall off fairly easily if the pen isn't secured.

Makes using the iPad so much easier. It's perfect for drawing so much more.

Amazing product, I use it everyday on my ipad to take notes and draw for school. It is very helpful and useful, would definitely recommend for anyone who is looking to draw, write, or doodle on their ipad.

It’s a great product and very accurate while using the notability application. Don’t like the price but this is probably in line with all apple products. One thing that doesn’t make sense is not to have compatibility of the next generation pencil with previous iPads. I bought this one as I couldn’t use the new generation pencil with my 1st generation iPad Pro. Don’t understand why the new pencil will not perform with the functionality that this pencil (1st generation) covers and if I want in the future to move to a new iPad I don’t need to buy the new pencil to get the new features from the new pencil. That’s why I’m not giving a 5 star rating.

I use this mainly as a stylist. The one feature I don't like is that it constantly has to be paired with the iPad in order to work. I do like the fact that I can charge the pencil from the iPad,

this is another amazing product from apple that will NOT disappoint. I have the iPad 6th gen (2018) and it works wonderfully with it. From watching reviews that say you can tell a difference with the new and old display technology with writing on the screen, you can’t. Or at least I can’t tell the difference. I bought mine for school to be as paperless as possible and I’m extremely satisfied with this investment and purchase.

The best tool for drawing and taking quick notes. It’s easy to set up and use.

Works perfect charge last a long time and quickly recharges …

This pencil is very precise. It works incredible. I love Apple products. If you have the iPad pro make sure you pick one up.

I really like the control of this pencil and it keeps its charge for a long time. Quick charge is a lifesaver too.

While the pairing is a little clunky, it works fantastically. This opens up a whole new area in drawing.

Awesome. Quickly connected without any issues. Easy to use and very accurate

Without the Apple Pencil, the iPad Pro is just an iPad. The Apple Pencil is so natural and intuitive that... it really takes the iPad experience to a whole different level. Draw, jot, take notes, prepare schemes, navigate, scroll. I did not have huge expectations, but now I realize that I cannot use the iPad without it. On the downside, it is really pricey - like everything else with an Apple logo. P.S. you also really need a case holder or something to hold the pencil close to the iPad.

Excellent for taking notes and drawing. Very responsive with no lag when writing and feels like any other pen or pencil

I'm not an artist but it seems extremely precise to the touch. Battery like is OK but convenient to charge from the lightning port. Struggling to find a use. The size makes it a little hard to tote around.

I see some people complaining about battery life. I have not had any problem. Keep in mind that it goes to sleep, when not in use. However, if you move the pencil it wakes up and stays awake until it thinks you’re done with it. Also, if you happen to find your pencil is out of charge, you simply plug it into your iPad for a few minutes and you’re good to go. I’ve used other tablets with other pencil like devices and this is by far the best I have used.

There was no question I was going to order this Apple Pencil, as I wanted it when I had my iPad 3. I read about 50 reviews, and didn't read anything that would stop me from its purchase. They do need to offer better instructions on how to use the darn thing if we are going to shell out that much money for a stylus. it's smooth to the touch, but a pencil gripper would help. A pen clip would also help as I could then put it on the inside of my purse without fear of losing it. As far as productive working apps, there should be more. I did finally find one I like, but I had to delete a bunch and download a bunch before that happened. I finally paid for one. It boils down to practice practice practice with this pencil.

The first time I've ever used a pen for iPad was in Apple Store where I tried the Apple Pencil, it worked well but I couldn't try as much as I wanted because of the limitation of displaying iPad Pro. Yet it was too expensive for me. Then BestBuy offered the discount on 3 apple accessaries. Woo hoo! Best chance for me to buy it. So I did! I use it to take notes with GoodNotes, occasionally draw some doodles with Sketches Pro. Pros: I didn't expect it has such a low latency. Even lower than the pen on my ThinkPad X220 which has a wacom touch screen! Cons: The charging position on iPad is very awkward. Bluetooth connection fails after turning off/on airplane mode on iPad. Pen body is too slippery to grab.
