    Good Apple Pencil, I brought it open box and it works perfectly. Has 2 extra tips for the pencil and it connects and charges easily. Highly recommend for an apple iPad user.

    The Apple Pencil is the Cadillac of styluses. It fills great in my hand, and reacts the way a real pencil and paper would. I'm a door to door salesman and I use it every day getting signatures from customers and they love how it feels and that they can actually read their autograph! I put it at three stars because at 99 bucks it's uses are somewhat limited. However it is an apple product so the price is to be expected.

    Not detail enough instruction & Apps suggestion

    Its easy to use and connect, but the package didn't provide a detail instruction for connection and suggestion for apps. All I need to find out by myself and google a lot of information online. And the pencil cap is easy to come out, its not very secure. The Apple Pencil is not cheap, I don't think this is worth it.

    Cool pen but not much retaining power

    The apple pen works nicely. No effort with writing and drawing. I actually allow my children to practice writing their alphabets. There are many apps for the apple pen. The battery standby life is poor. And to charge it it requires a special adapter but do not worry it comes with it. But why. If it gets lost its a nuisance to replace and the reason I purchased a case to hold it and its accessories. 100 dollars is a bit on the high side but it certainly beats, by far, the pen for the surface pro.

    It is what you know it is - Apple Pencil

    The integration of the Apple Pencil with the iPad Pro is incredible. To be able to apply pressure to make harder lines like you would with an actual pencil is great. The speed and response while writing with the pencil is excellent as well. Some cons in my opinion are that the pencil is the white piano finish plastic which makes it slide out of dry hands quickly, it is round and can roll off tables, and the iPad Pro cases from Apple have no way of attaching the pencil to the iPad Pro.

    I had bought a surface so I could go paperless where note taking was concerned but ran into many issues with it registering my hand and the pen. I didn’t expect the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil to work as well as it does but it, for me, has been flawless. I use it with the good notes app and one note and again it is a perfect setup.

    Previously I’d bought a tablet pencil duo that connects to my Mac but it didn’t really make me happy and i felt like I’d have to spend too much time learning how to figure it out. So i decided to spend the money for a new iPad and the Apple Pencil and it is everything i wanted and so easy to maneuver.

    I was hesitant at first spending this much for the ipencil. It is great for clicking fine detail that my fingers can't do easily. To me it is worth the expense. The only draw back is the cap that covers the male charging end. To eliminate the chance of losing it I purchased the finite kit from Amazon that holds the cap and has a tip protector.

    I purchased this to use for my coursework as a law student and is perfect for what I needed. It is fast, works well, has a great battery life, and works with Apple Pencil. It's high-resolution display also allows it to double as a device to use when relaxing to watch videos or shows. Great device for a great price!

    The Apple Pencil makes for a versatile accessory that can be used to notate on pictures and text areas in a variety of styles and colors, as well as to make additions, deletions, and corrections to text more easily than with the keyboard. I would recommend it.

    A Must IF You Have a Compatible iPad

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    A bit of a disclaimer - I bought this to go with an iPad after being used to using an active stylus with a Surface device, if you aren't used to the ups and downs of writing on a tablet, your experience may vary. That said, this is a wonderful stylus. Nicely shaped and weighted, accurate and responsive. It works well for drawing as well as for writing notes in OneNote. The ability to charge from the iPad is nice, though it's super awkward when sticking out of the end of the pad and the battery life is just Ok (I get a couple days of all day use or about a week of on and off use - compared to the Surface Pen that I've used for over a year without replacing the disposable battery). The biggest downsides are the lack of places to attach the pen (get a case with a holder) and the easily lost cap (get a cheap silicon cover for it). On the whole though, this opens up great New areas of functionality for the iPad and is a must have if you have a compatible device (2018 or newer 9.7" iPad, first gen iPad pro or one of the new minis or airs.)
