I really like it. It is easy to use. Charges quickly, battery lasts a long time. Lots of control over line thickness.

This works way better than my other stylus. It is expensive but works great. When it doesn’t respond you just plug it into your iPad for a quick charge. As a teacher I use this along with my compatible iPad to mirror my iPad and do math problems on zoom

Apple Pencil for iPad Pro 10.5"

I really like this pencil. It offers a realistic writing capability when compared to the traditional stylus. The bubble tip on a stylus doesn’t allow a clean writing script; the Apple pencil does. I have two issues with the Apple pencil: 1) too expensive (should come with the new iPad Pro) and 2) when writing on the iPad screen, the slickness of the screen doesn’t allow a good friction for the pencil to stay stable or the pencil might slide off the screen.

I am definitely not artistic, but I have found the pencil very useful for handwriting notes, marking up documents, and creating diagrams. The pencil works so smoothly. It is a great complement to the iPad Pro.

I bought this for my wife so she could take notes on her tablets while seeing clients. Not that you have to but I bought a new tablet as well to make sure we get the maximum performance so far i'm very please with the pencil. Easy to setup and works well.

This pencil is amazing and can take your creativity to new levels. It feels so natural in use - pretty stunning.
Seems to not hold charge as long as I'd like, and it is TRAGIC that it cannot be used with the 2018 iPad Pros. 100 dollars for a device that cannot be used on a new iPad only 1 year later. I should give it less stars because of that - but, it works so great on the models it is designed for I'll leave it at 4.

As one of the first designers using the Mac in the mid 80's, Apple asked me what a designer needed. I told them we needed a portable Mac with a Pencil that could emulate pencils, pen and ink, paint brushes and markers.
Now, 30 years later, we have an iPad Pro with Apple Pencil. This combo is an artists dream machine!

I mean, apple products are increble, so it wasn’t really a surprise to me when this pen was just as amazing as the last product I’ve purchased. It’s definitely worth it to buy, and it’s a great little pen to have on hand. It’s reallt easy to use too, even my children got the hang of it quickly.

The Apple Pencil is perfect.
The one thing that always bothered me about editing music on an ipad was that I had to use my finger to make fine adjustments. The pencil fixes that. I use it to make fine edits. I've also started using it to take hand written notes, I absolutely love it.

Great product. My wife takes a lot of notes for work and this pen is very responsive and writes clearly on her new ipad. You can charge it as the eraser end plugs right into the lightning port on the tablet.

Cool idea! Works really well with iPad Pro. Less fingerprints on the screen. 3 concerns: 1) Only comes with 2 "points". One of mine was damaged. As of now, you cannot buy replacements. 2) The charger connection will be easily lost. It is a "connector" between the Apple Pencil end and the cord. You can stick the end of the pencil into your iPad and it will charge that way....if you want the long pencil sticking out of your iPad. 3) No way to tell when the pencil is fully charged.

I bought the highly reviewed cheap styles on Amazon and I couldn’t stand it. It always stopped writing. This one is a little bit expensive but it works flawless like how it was meant to be.

I thought about getting a knockoff and I’m so happy I didn’t. This pencil is great! It works very smoothly and has helped me tons while teaching my fifth graders remotely. It is expensive but it’s worth every penny. I highly recommend!

Purchased this for our Granddaughter's Birthday. She LOVES it and has quickly learned now to work with it to her drawings. So glad this is easy to use right out of the box and such a nice tool.

I bought the Apple Pencil for my wife after she mentioned that she thought it would be useful for her work. It turns out that she uses it all the time and loves it. She is able to use it for a wide array of tasks and it saves her time by being able to add comments to the pictures she sends to her clients.

Great pencil/stylus. Only complaint is that it has to charge sticking straight out of the iPad instead of the magnetic charge space like the gen 2 pencil/iPad. Overall, it’s a great accessory for school I use it to take notes while in virtual classes

Best Stylus for iPad Pro

This is by far the best stylus I have every used. It is very responsive and mimics my handwriting perfectly as if I was writing on a piece of paper. The pen itself is sturdy although a bit slippery but I am planning on getting a dbrand skin for it to remedy that. Other than that, you cannot go wrong with this purchase.
