I use a Wacom tablet for graphics on my desktop iMac. The pencil is very much like the Wacom but without the function buttons or eraser. If anything the action is more fluid with less friction and the pressure sensitivity and tilt work very well.

Works great. It's much better than using a finger!

Works great with the new iPad Pro. Makes a lot of tasks normally done with the finger much easier to do and with finer detail. I'd give it 5 stars except for the charging process - you have to plug it into the iPad and draw power from the iPad or use a small funky connector to the lightning charger cable (which could easily be misplaced) and you have no way of knowing how much power/time you have left before needing to charge it again.

Great styles for writing on pro. I think it's a little pricey. But still love it. And that you can charge on the go.

Wow! Huge difference in sales people! This time the salesman knew Apple products!! He took back the pencil previously bought & got me the right pencil that works with my new iPad. I really think the sales people NOT knowledgeable with Apple products shouldn’t be allowed to sell them!!! My nightmare could’ve been eliminated from the get-go if that was a rule.!! Way too many hours, time, money, & patience spent correcting previous salesperson’s mistakes!... And Apple products aren’t cheap!What should’ve been 20-minutes setting up iPad actually took 3-hours of hell with the technician locking up my brand new iPad and not knowing how to unlock it & sending me directly to Apple store to get it unlocked.,! Freaking nightmare! I loved the second techie cuz he really knew what he was doing and told me he would make all “right” for me. He certainly did, too,!!
I love him for making all “right”!!!

Great product and does extend usefulness to the iPad. It certainly is not a required product for iPad Pro and you can do a lot without it. But, for handwriting and design, it is a no-braner as it is the only electronic pencil on the market that is as precise. Does run down faster than I wish, but easy to re-charge.

Besides being overpriced and costing more than the 2nd gen pencil, it's a solid product. Got this as a xmas gift for my sister - still works great after a month of use.

I needed a stylus that would allow us to write on a PDF being viewed on the iPad. This unit works great. (Yes, you could probably use your finger but this is much easier.)
It is easy to sync because you simply plug it into the bottom of the iPad itself.

With the correct apps this pen is fantastic. Using notes+, handwriting is almost seamlessly transcribed into print,
When drawing, the pen is like having an entire draw of colored pencils, markers and other art supplies. I have used a few different apps to draw.
The major drawback of the Apple Pencil is that there is no good way to store it...no case, no slot to slide it into. There is no way so secure it to the iPad Pro or even protect it when it is put away. There needs to be a case

If you own a new ipad you must have an apple pencil! Comes with an adapter now so you can charge it with your ipad charger. Only wish it would have a light indicating that it is charged or charging. It is a bit of a guessing game knowing how much charge is on the pencil.

I cannot tell you just how blown away I am with this device. I've owned at least 4 different stylus pens before (from Wacom to the cheaper ones at the grocery store) and nothing compares to the precision and fluid strokes of the Apple Pencil! The instant Bluetooth connectivity and Lightning Port charging is nothing short of genius.

The original pen given to my daughter didn't work, we bought a new one, didn't want to spend the same amount to her college and get a refurb. It works just as it is suppose to work, and brand new!
I think apple charges more than needed, but hey.. that's apple

This is such a great accessory for the new 2018 Ipad that supports the pencil. It is very responsive and the battery time is fantastic. It pairs fast and there are a lot of Apps that take advantage of it. The price is kind of high, but if you need the accuracy of a high quality pen, this is it.
