    If you have any doubts about needing the Apple Pencil for your new iPad Pro, lay them to rest. The adaptive sensoring technology of the screen combined with the cone shaped pencil tip make this a go to feature for anyone who has a creative flair. Calagraphy, sketching, editing documents, and even note taking are a breeze with this tool. I've designed wedding invitations, edited documents, and written free hand on photos to create costume post cards.

    It's an apple.. nuf said.. I'm an artist, and this is an awesome piece of artist's equipment. I use it with my iPad for when I'm using Vectornator, Procreate, and other creative apps and platforms. I love the pressure-sensitivity! I've looked at many, many other pen / pencil / stylus' out there but there's a reason why the Apple Pencil came out on top... I may be biased but I've found apple products do what they say they're going to, and they are more often than not... user-friendly! I've been using a Wacom, which is great, but I needed something that I could use directly on my iPad so I could be creative on the go, and not stuck to my computer. This really is a nice device. It's comfortable to use, it's responsive to even the slightest variation in pressure that my hand provides (which means I get excellent results when using pressure sensitivity for shading techniques, stroke techniques, and for the airbrush tools which are available in many creative software apps. The only downfall I've found with this first get pencil is the really dumb way they decided to have you charge it... Let me rephrase that... the really dumb way you have as ONE option to charge it. There are two charging options... 1. To charge it via it plugged into the end of a charging cable, which is hooked to the end of the pencil. -or- 2. To charge it via plugging it directly into your iPad's charging port (BAD IDEA). The reason why the number two way to charge it is horrible is simply because it sticks straight out of your iPad like a fork sticking out of my dog's mouth. If my dog were to turn a corner while walking down the hall, there's a good chance that my dog will run that fork into the corner of the wall... well the same principle applies to having a stick sticking out of the end of my iPad. You will certainly break your iPad, Apple Pencil, or both if you don't make sure nothing will disturb it while it's charging. They took care of that on the 2nd generation Apple Pencil, which rests nicely along the top of the iPad via a magnetic docking solution. However, I do believe that they knew they were going to do this from the day that they invented the Apple Pencil (1st Gen). They probably knew this would disturb people.. so let's just make another version a couple years later, and make sure that people have to buy a new iPad that's compatible with the new "magnetic docking" design. OOPS... I'm babbling. Anyway... Yes! Awesome in the utilitarian department... not so awesome in one of the charging options.

    The Apple Pencil 1st gen is awesome as an accessory to my iPad 8 . The functionality of the pencil while drawing is accurate and smooth. But I have had issues with all 4 pencils I have purchased. After a few months the just stop working. No damage as I’m very careful with my pencil. But Best Buy has been amazing and has replaced each pencil I’ve had trouble with. So far this new one is working great , unfortunately I have to return my spare as it too has quit .

    If you are a student and skeptical about Apple Pencil, you must get one. I have completely get rid of my 5 subjects notebook because of this Apple Pencil. iPad Pro + Apple Pencil is the best combo. You can choose multiples highlighter and pencil colors from just one Apple Pencil. You do not need to buy an eraser, highlighters, pens, or pencils. You just need an Apple Pencil. You will love it because you can do so much more.

    Great pencil. I thought it was too expensive. It is also disappointing that it has to be charged frequently. I downloaded coloring books, and the pencil works well with those apps.
