    I bought this for work use about a month ago and now I am the envy of the office. I can keep my notes digitized and organized. The accuracy of the product is what makes it for me. I have tried numerous other iPad stylus and none can compare the the accuracy of the Apple Pencil. I am able to write small fine words in my notes without having to zoom into the page.

    Even tho I like the pen and it does it's job well....the design, for the price is lacking. 1st off the cap reminds me of the early USB thumb drives. It detaches completely leaving it very easy to miss place when charging. There is no actual universal way to attach it to your Ipad unless you buy a case or a third party dumafloppy to hold it. As far as third party accessories....the pickin's are slim at this point. So for the price of the item....one would think that more thought would have gone into it. I would recommend it to a friend ....but tell them upfront of the issues.

    I love my apple pencil so much I bought two within a week! The apple pencil does everything I expected it to do and more. My only complaint is that it does not stand up very well to a curious Beagle, 6 days after I purchased my first apple pencil I had to buy another one because my doggo ate the first one. All jokes aside, it is a great product.

    The pencil serves as a great pointer for the iPad. Snaps to the base or outside of the iPad so there's little worry for losing it, this is a great feature. The cohesive nature of the iPad was the purchasing draw from the outset and the iPencil or Apple pencil was no exception. Great job and great product.

    Great stylus. Kind of slippery.

    The pencil itself is amazing. I bought the iPad/pen combo as I was beginning the school semester, and it has completely blown me away. It changed the way I take notes and im loving it. The pen itself is incredibly responsive and I prefer writing on the iPad vs. regular pen and paper. My only complaint with the pen is that it has no grip so it gets slippery sometimes. It made it uncomfortable writing for long periods of time. On the plus side, there are various rubber grips you can find that solve the problem and they're relatively cheap.

    I had a gift card and picked this up for my IPad Pro. Really not into graphics etc. so figured it was an over priced stylus (may still be) but I find myself using it daily. It’s great with One Note and writes well. It’s slick, a bit heavy and the top cap isn’t very secure. Plus this one I have to charge from the lighting port on the iPad when the battery is low. It’s odd, almost like I’ll break it by hitting it wrong. Get past that and it has been great for meetings and notes especially when I travel.

    I have an iPad PRO older generation and while I was sad I couldn't use the 2nd version, I am VERY happy I bought this one. It's smooth and works effortlessly. It doesn't require much effort to apply pressure while drawing on apps that use digital brush technology.

    I bought this pencil to work with an iPad Pro 12.9". I am not an artist, and do not draw. I do, however, like to work through math and science problems using a pencil and piece of paper. The larger surface of the 12.9" iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil finally make this work possible on a digital device! I use the built-in Notes app, and find the "palm rejection" technology a real game changer. Being able to rest my hand on the screen while writing does wonders for legibility while also keeping my arm from getting tired. I expect the next version of IOS will only make the Notes app better and more functional. The pencil itself fits my hand well; and as advertised the pointing accuracy and low latency are a joy to use. Note: because of complaints I had read about the pencil rolling freely and having no place to store it, I purchased a silicon sleeve that contains a magnet (from Amazon). It gives the pencil a nice non-slip surface, keeps it from rolling, and enables me to affix the pencil to the top of the iPad when not in use.

    I am a first year student med student and I cannot believe how much this has changed the way I study. I always learned best by writing down notes, but it is impossible to keep up with medical lectures, let alone all the paper used. This allows me to still write all the notes I need, highlight, and use detail I didn't even know I could do. I would suggest this to all students!
