    My daughter uses this with her iPad Pro and loves it! No complaints, although you do have to keep track of one little piece. I asked her what it was when I saw it on her side table and she said it goes to her Apple pencil and not to lose it! I suggested she find a tin or little box to put it in so it doesn't get lost.

    I am an artist and recently bought the iPad 8th gen to do digital art. I use it mostly with the Procreate app, which is definitely worth the money as well! The Apple pencil works smoothly and has pressure sensitivity which makes creating art really satisfying!

    I’ll be honest. It took me awhile to get use to this. The feeling of using it to write on a glass tablet is just different. I write on notebook paper all the time so I figured this would make life easier. Less clutter and more organized. It does just that once you get accustomed to the feeling. It’s no longer awkward and it becomes second nature. Highly recommend. Just give yourself time to adjust.

    I had wondered what Inwas missing before upgrading to the iPad Pro. Well, the use of an Apple Pencil is a far bigger advantage than I ever would have guessed! I am enjoying exploring all the various uses, from a simple stylus, to a fine-tuned tool for art, note taking, and graphic design. I look forward to learning far more uses as time goes by!

    This pencil has two sensors, one for pressure and one for angle. It works really well for writing and drawing. The pressure sensor allows drawing bold and thin lines, while the angle sensor allows the you to color, shade and add gradient tones. It has great sensitivity.

    Pretty good Apple Pencil. I also have the Apple Pencil 2 for my iPad Pro which is better but you can’t use the 2 on the iPad 10.2 inch. That’s where this first gen Apple Pencil comes in handy. The thing I’m not a fan of is that you have to plug the pencil in the lighting port in the iPad to charge it. Besides that, it does what it’s intended to do very well.

    I have owned both the Logitech crayon and the Apple Pencil. Both work well but the pressure sensitivity on the Apple Pencil is a real win. The Apple Pencil is also more comfortable to draw and write with. After using both I have to say Apple got it right. Just buy it and you’ll be glad you did.

    It does everything that's advertised. I was apprehensive at first but, I went ahead a bought it. I'm happy with it I'm able to doodle during meetings and take freehand notes. I haven't been able to take advantage of all the apps yet but it does what I need it to do. Btw the battery life is very long and it only take a minute or two to charge back up. Good buy

    Bought my seventeen-year-old boy the Apple Pencil 1st generation to accompany his new iPad. He loves to draw and with this combo he can also take notes. He will definitely get more use when he begins college next year. He loves the pencil and has told me it works perfectly.

    The Apple pen I needed in a hurry, during the pandemic. I was so impressed with the organization for safe commerce and the employees who worked energetically and safely to respond to our curbside pickup of our orders. They were very helpful. Cheers for the workers on the front line.

    My daughter loves the apple pencil. she uses it whenever she is on her ipad. I had my doubts when we purchased, but she definitely has made use of it and proved me wrong. Best Buy was one of the few places that had availability, which made the choice to shop here even easier.

    Cumbersome but functional

    I was expecting more, but it does work. It only works with the iPad Pro. Instructions for getting it up and running were quite disappointing. It required a lot of trial and error, which I was not anticipating. An easy way to pair it with the iPad is to plug it in the charging slot of the iPad. There is a cap for the back/top of the pencil as well as a connector for attaching to a power supply if needed. That means you may be carrying around one or the other of those small components so you will have them when you need them. (Read: don't lose them). Smile as you try to get the cap off the back of the pencil. Since there are no instructions, you might assume that the cap screws on and off. It does not. You just push it on and pull it off (and hope that this holds for a long time before the friction factor dissipates). There is a separately sold cap for the tip or stylus of the pencil, as well as replacement tips. Some applications allow you to switch the stylus from broad to fine or brush-like. I expect its functionality will increase as I get used to it. It is certainly more accurate than poking a finger at the screen. It is not as easy as working with a retractable pen on paper. If you can accept the above, then I recommend it.

    It’s a big upgrade from what I was using before. It works well but if you’re using this to draw it slides on the screen pretty slippery, if you don’t like that I recommend getting a screen protector that simulates paper or you look for another stylus. I didn’t know that I would have to keep this constantly plugged in because of its lithium batteries, look into that a little more before buying.
