It's battery life is good. Should have a clip on it like a pen. Price is high compared to windows products.

I got this for taking notes in Med school. It's amazing. I tell everyone who doesn't have one, to get one. It's amazing for school, I love it! One down side is the stupid little charging adapter... I lost it within the first week. Good thing you can just use your ipad to charge it!

Works well. Communicates with iPad well and charges easily. Also fits snugly in the new iPad leather sleeve!

I went with a Best Buy rep that used this pen on his iPad. You could tell from the Apple brand and the off brand that Apple was superior. It’s read on the iPad a lot more quicker and efficient. It’s also paired up quicker. Spend the extra $40 and you wouldn’t have to wonder.

I like the weight and feel of the Apple Pencil. Though, it is a bit expensive and doesn't work with non-PRO iPads.

I recently returned from a week long conference. I used the pencil to take notes during the meetings and training classes. I loved how easy it was to use. the pencil 'learned' my handwriting style and the printed text was easily saved to a file

Purchased along with an 8th Gen iPad for my daughter and she loves it. The pencil works great and allows for quite a bit of tuning for pressure to get the perfect lines. Make sure it is compatible with the iPad you have before purchasing.

This’s is a must have if you own an iPad Pro. It makes writing so much easier. I like to use it to play some of my games ex. puzzle games. It recharges faster when using the iPad instead of the actual plug. It is pretty pricey so make sure you don’t lose it or any of the items that came with the pen!

The apple pencil though it is the first gen has all features of the 2nd gen pencil other than how it charges.
So far it is retaining charge for weeks and if you forget to charge it, just plug it into the ipad for 30 seconds and you are good to use it for 30 minutes.

PERFECT

The Apple Pencil is the perfect addition to the IPad Pro. It works flawlessly and never lags or skips marks like many stylus I have used in the past. It even recognizes how hard you are pressing down. Perfect for sketching, drawing, or just taking notes. I would definitely consider this a must have accessory.

I got the pen just to see what it was all about and now I use the thing everyday. Some apps have better support than others but it’ll improve with time. I mostly use it on one note and as a tool to navigate when I’m feeling lazy. Buy a case that will hold the pen when you aren’t using it.

It's a pencil for the Ipad

It's a pencil for the Ipad...and it works like a pencil, but without the lead and graphite and all that, so it's pretty neato. Also, if you are attacked by a small to mid-sized animal (non-rabid), and you have both your Ipad and this pencil...you effectively have a sword and shield combo with which to protect yourself.

So far so good. If I restart my iPad, I do have to plug the pencil back in, but it's certainly an easy pairing process comparatively. I think I might get a tip that has a different feel to it, but overall it has been extremely helpful.

The Apple Pencil was exactly what I’ve been looking for. It is almost like drawing with the real thing except less mess and less things to get out and put away. It responds to how much pressure you put on the pencil and you’re able to rest you hand on the IPad without it messing with the Pencil.

This pencil works great. My work as an instructor doing zoom lessons and having to grade homework electronically has been enhanced with the use of this pencil and my iPad. Plus I got an open box at Best Buy and received a discounted price!.

open box product. works okay. typically run into issues with pencil when its low on charge or if my tablet needs an update. otherwise the life of the pencil is quite outstanding. i can go months in between uses and there will still be a charge.

Great pen for a graphic designer/artist. I use the app Astropad and can connect to all my Creative Cloud programs on my computer with it and can draw directly on my iPad Pro. My mom also loves the pen because it helps with her arthritis. She can browse and play games on her iPad with accuracy and less discomfort.
