    I know Steve Jobs is turning over in his grave with all the things Apple has done that Steve Jobs said he wouldn't do, but what can you do. Nonetheless, I did purchase an Apple Pencil and have to say that it is a great accessory to my iPad. Working along with apps like Goodnotes and Autodesk Sketchbook, it works amazingly well. It is an indispensable tool for anyone who uses paper but wants to go digital!

    Works great. Seems a little overpriced though, the grip feels a little slippery

    I bought this to use with an IPad that was given to me. I'm a first time user. It took getting used to using it, buy it works well. It holds a charge nicely, I guessed it depends on the amount of times it's used.

    Perfect palm rejection and super fast charging mean that I can use my pencil with my IPad Pro every day for everything from taking notes to creating presentations. I use many apps that allow me to handoff between my iPad and MacBook and the pencil has allowed me to get even further from using paper in my paperwork.

    I'm not an artist, I bought this only to use it with the amount of books and notes I do while studying, and it's perfect! Editing PDFs, Notes, adding figures, drawing everything is just fine! Battery life is more than enough and charge fast, The only thing I wish that I can hook it up to my iPad Pro 9.7

    Expensive Necessity

    I love my iPad Pro 9.7 and the Apple Pencil. The handy feature about the pencil, is that it can plug into the iPad Pro to pair and charge, but the cap can be easily lost. (as can the charging adapter) The best solution is to purchase a "cozy" that holds the cap on the pencil and attaches the adapter to the charging cable. I also recommend an accessory that allows you to "attach" the pencil to the iPad, so it doesn't get left behind on your hotel bed.....

    Apple pencil is one of the "better if you have it" if your in college. With an iPad note taking apps, it's just one less notebook to carry in your backpack, you can write as much for as many classes as you needed to. Recommend!

    I have used pen/pencil stylus' in the past. I was skeptical of this one at this price, but I bit the bullet and bought it. I use it every day and find that it opens up a whole new set of capabilities for the iPad Pro. This thing is sensitive and accurate. If you like to draw, take notes, get one.

    I love that the pressure makes it bolder or skinnier depending on your pressure. I mainly use it to draw or press on things when I’m at a long range, like laying down on my bed while my iPad is on the wall or something. Feels like a real pencil and I love how smooth it is!

    I am an artist and I love that I don’t have to pack a kit for the day. I use to pack a little art kit to take with me. I had to pick and use what I brought. If was inspired to do a watercolor and only had pencils, I was limited. Now I can have all of that with an app and this one magical pen.

    I have been using this for a few weeks now. It has been great to have with my iPad pro. The battery lasts longer than expected and the charge is surprisingly fast! I have been very happy with this purchase. I use it all the time. I purchased a case online by " " and it holds the pencil very well.

    This is the best stylus i have tried to date. If you have an iPad Pro, this is a must. There is no lag at all, and really takes your iPad experience to the next level. I am almost completely papaerless and a college student. Adding this to my iPad accessories has completely changed my life.

    Bought this to go with the iPad I got my sister for Christmas, she loves it! She has even gotten back into art as a result of having the pencil to use. No issues connecting and decent battery life.

    I love my iPad pro, and definitely wouldn’t enjoy it as much without the Apple pencil! So very easy to use and enables the user to access features you wouldn’t be able to otherwise. Only complaint is the battery isn’t replaceable, and it definitely should be at $100!

    What else is there is say about an Apple product. The pencil works great. I use it for work and its amazing at how it writes on the Ipad. If I have one criticism its that the pencil doesn't work on all Apple products. Apple has to fix that. Otherwise its just like writing on paper.
