    I remember the days when Apple was anti-stylus but I'm happy that Apple decided to give this another try. The only gripe that I have about the pencil is how you charge it. The generation 2 has a better charging position which is more practical.

    I use this with Procreate and Artrage for digital art on my Ipad (latest model), and find it does quite well! My only complaint I guess is that it doesn't stay charged for very long, but recharging is performed fairly quickly. And, the cap....you will lose that eventually :).

    Works well, but occasionally has issues staying paired to the device. Overpriced, but helpful with the iPad Pro.

    I use this product with my 3rd Gen iPad Air and it’s been phenomenal. The design of the Apple Pencil makes it so that it fits very comfortably in your hand as you write. It was very interesting to see just how easy it is to set up with the iPad.

    At first I was putting it off because I wasn’t sure it was a necessary expense but now I will never go back. One of my favorite accessories and well worth the money especially if you like drawing. It’s also great for kids to practice writing.

    This is a must with the new iPad pro or any iPad for that matter. My daughter is using this with her school issued iPad. The pairing was simple. It charges either from an included cord or a lightning port at the end that can be plugged into the iPad for a quick bolt of juice to get you thru you next assignment.

    AS a student, this definitely changes the game for how I can use the iPad Pro in class. The sensitivity of the pen as well as the fact that I have so much control over how I write, plus the compatibility with the iPad compared to using a stylus is very different. I AM VERY HAPPY with this purchase.

    Purchased this for my daughter. She uses it to write notes for her college stem courses. Absolutely loves it. Got rid of a few notebooks and less bulk in her backpack.

    This is absolutely wonderful! Wanted one for a while and purchased one over thanksgiving. Love using this with my new iPad! It makes taking notes so much easier - since I like to hand write notes - it’s nice to have something written and saved.

    Got this as a Christmas present and it's gotten a lot of use already. Just be mindful you're getting the version that corresponds with a compatible device. That's why I got this instead of the second generation.

    I’m very pleased with this new Apple Pencil we purchased for our daughter. She is enjoying using this Apple Pencil on her new IPad for all of her artwork projects. We got a great price on this product also. I would recommend this Apple Pencil.

    I purchased an Apple tablet so it would be compatible with my iPhone 8. I was upgrading from a Samsung galaxy that came with a stylus pencil. And I love the versatility and functionality of the product. I would definitely recommend the Apple Pencil as it is very precise and worth the extra money.

    There are minimal programs it works with but I had to be cool and have one. I wished it had a clip to keep it from rolling off the table. I bought a Pentel mechanical pencil 0.5mm and slightly pried the clip off and slipped it onto the Apple Pencil. Works great! The only program I use it for is OneNote and mark up documents.

    Gave it as gift to my wife for her artwork. I don't like to read instructions BUT once I did I got the thing working. So read before using it. It charges fast, but the way it charges is cumbersome and could potentially be broken off as it sticks out of the iPad to charge. But once setup and carefully charged, it's fun to use.
