solid pen, a little bit too pricy

I love the functions that it provides. However, I did not understand why at the round end of the cap of the pen, it is not completely sealed off. the air gap for the signal or for ventilation? the other thing that I do not understand is that each time I power off the ipad, I need to re-pair the pen again with the same ipad. I thought that the pairing information is remembered in the memory of the ipad, and I can erase it through the setting manually if I want to. It seems that pairing info is not stored automatically after powering off the ipad.

I got this for quick not taking and sketching diagrams on set. It also just makes navigating my table so much easier and more precise! Palm rejection is amazing. It stays charged for hours and recharges Too 100% in less than 20 minutes. Great buy for anyone with an iPad that supports this pencil.

I'm attached to my apple pencil. I'm a graphic designer and I use it for illustration. It responds to natural gestures very well and allows me to quickly complete projects. Definitely, recommend. My only gripe is that you cannot check the battery life of your pencil until a notification appears on your screen with the battery life reaches 10%.

I really enjoy using the pencil, it makes it a lot easier to do things on the iPad. I can write faster and like that I don't have to touch my screen with my fingers so much, which keeps my screen clear of smudges. It was a little heavy at first, but once you get used to it, it is great.

I had no clue how amazing the Apple Pencil would be! It absolutely changed my whole experience with using my tablet. You can write as fine & detailed as you would on a sheet of paper but you can also draw & shade & color with it. Simply amazing & easy & quick to charge. It looks sleek & elegant and it feels awesome in your hand.

I purchased a new iPad PRO and wanted to utilize the pencil feature of the tablet. I waited for a sale on the Apple pencil but there are few except for Best Buys $5 discount. I now have the pencil and like using it when I can. The pencil charges up very quickly and in a pinch it can be plugged into the iPad for a very rapid charge in less than a minute.

I use only stylus enabled phones and PCs. For me, it is by far the most intuitive interface for pointing. This light device is reliable and very easy to use. Biggest drawback is the obviously high margin price tag. Putting aside price, it is better than the Surface Pen and Samsung S-Pen in every performance category. Indeed, it's the only reason I now have an iOS device.

I was needing a way to design a logo on my iPad (6th Generation). The Apple Pencil was a great solution. It feels like I was drawing on normal paper. My only complaint is the method of charging. For the 1st generation pencil, it has to be connected to the bottom of the iPad or connected to the wall with a supplied dongle. Also to charge it, you are required to remove the small cap over the lightning connector that connects to the wall or iPad. I'm afraid that I might lose this cap one day.

Best "stylus"

I love the Apple Pencil. It is sensitive and allows you to create bolder lines by pressing harder, shading by angling the pencil, and writes like a normal pen without one of those thick ends. Plus you can charge it right off your iPad. I would give this 5 stars except that it ONLY works with iPad Pro, and it has no way to connect to anything. There is a little "cozy" you can slip on it that helps a lot so you don't lose the cap, but you have to then buy a special case that holds the pencil. All in all, If you have an iPad Pro, well worth the money.
