Customer Ratings & Reviews

I like this. It plugs into my iPad 8th Generation. It was a bit of money to spend, but it has been helpful to have when I do artsy things on Procreate or take notes with the Good Notes app. The fast charge is also a plus.

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.

I just got a new iPad Pro and I wanted to try an Apple Pencil with the new iPad. I sketch out a lot of workflows for my job. I used to take notes and workflow doodles on a note pad or on a white board with written notes and stickies. Then write the stuff up in Visio. I already had MS Notes so I have grid-lines on my iPad's writing surface with Apple Pencil. Now I can draw shapes and Note sharpens the shapes. I can write notes on the drawing. I only need to write& diagram once. What a liberator.

This Apple Pencil is quite amazing for artwork with my iPad Pro. For $99 you can focus on pixels, draw and do shading, all kinds of effects. It's super sensitive to angle, pressure, almost seems intuitive. I said Almost. Plus you never need a sharpener, and never get graphite remnants on your hands from a No.2 old school pencil. Gotta love technology!

Excellent pen and long battery life. Works great for drawings

I purchased this for my daughters birthday gift a couple years ago and it’s still working perfectly. She loves to use it for drawing on her iPad.

My daughter bought this Apple pencil and she loves it! It works great and is easy to setup and use! Would buy another one!

Works great, easy to use, nice addition for drawing

This isn't as full featured as the surface pen but it is definitely a different approach. The tilt and accuracy of the pencil is very solid. You'll want to get a grip for it though as it's glossy and can be slick. This is NOT supposed to making screeching noises or scratch your screen. if it does, it is defective and I advise returning it. I had to...

Very smooth and responsive touch apple is the best compare to another pencils companies make.

I've purchased both the Apple Crayon and this Apple Pencil. For a fraction of the price, the Apple Crayon is of great value. The Apple Pencil, however, blows the Crayon out of the water. If you can cough up the money to splurge, the Pencil goes great with the iPad for multiple applications.

Amazing add on charge last long time and works very wll

I ordered the wrong one online & took it to the store to exchange it. It was fast & easy to switch for the one we needed. The pen works exactly as expected. I didn’t appreciate being followed and told to put a mask on by BestBuy employees “6 feet or mask”. That’s the “rules”.

First bought an "open box" model, but had to return it because it had trouble pairing with my new iPad Pro. I decided to get a new one (never out of the box) and it works great. I also have an art program to play with, but I'm not an artist and haven't done much with it yet. I've been using it as a stylus and really like being able to keep the screen clean(er).

Doesn't work as good as I thought it would but so much better then using your finger. It is better for drawing apps and things of that nature but writing isn't too much better then before. I don't know if it is worth the $100 but it is pretty cool. Only thing is it is pretty easy to lose and come with small pieces that could definitely be lost.

There is no lag when using this stylus and it's light. Only problem is how apple chose to charge these things.

Easy set up and quick to charge. Make using the iPad Pro a pleasure.

If it weren't for running across an already marked down (previously returned) Apple Pencil while in the local Best Buy-- along with $35 in Best Buy Points soon to expire - I wouldn't have purchased this pencil -- but at $50 instead of $100 - well, seemed far more reasonably priced. As far as tablet pens go, this one is no doubt the more precise and I would think a must have if you are an artist that needs to do digital drawings on your iPad Pro - for these folks this is a slam dunk, buy it, use it, love it. If you don't fit the above category, it's a lot easier to find yourself wondering how this thing could cost so much. Can't speak with enough experience on battery life as I simply haven't found enough reasons/uses for the pencil. If you are one that finds your fingers hurting from touching the iPad screen - then this pencil would be a must have as well. For me - if it cost more than I paid, it would have been returned - but I am keeping it on the assumption that more apps will support this pencil going forward. You don't know if the battery is low until it is quite low and then it recharges quickly. I purchased aftermarket gizmo to keep the cap the covers the charging port - to keep that cap "attached" to the pencil - wouldn't want to loose the cap. Same for the small lightning power gender adapter -- again, aftermarket item to keep that adapter attached at all times to the lightning cable. Would like to see Apple provide an easy way to view available power\estimated remaining time of usage before the pencil requires a recharge as part of the native ios. If that's already there, I certainly haven't seen it.

Great pen for the apple iPad easy to use great for drawing

Apple takes the time to make sure things work well and are easy to use. The pencil is no exception. Too bad it is so expensive.
