Bought for my school iPad, and works without a hitch. Responsive, accurate, and amazing palm rejection. Charging is a bit of a joke, I really wish that you could charge it without plugging into the port of the iPad, but in fairness, it charges fast and works for hours off of a 10 minute charge.

I bought this pencil, super excited to use it on my iPad Pro. I’ve heard nothing but great things, yeah, it’s expensive but it really does replace the good old pencil & paper.

I use WACOM stylus for the iPad mini and it worked fine but had issues. When I recieved my iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil it worked perfect. It use to take me hrs to draw a picture now it takes less than 30 minutes to complete drawing. I would highly recommend the Apple Pencil if you like to draw in your iPad.

It's a nice addition to go along with the iPad Pro. But a little on the expensive side for an upgraded stylus. I'm no artist, but it does work great for PDF editing, notes and everything else you would need for meetings and school. With that said, the price is steep if that is all you plan on doing with it. I'm not taking it back since it's already paid for and in use, but keep that in mind if you know what you plan on using it for.

Just about perfect. I take all of my notes for work on. Writes very smooth and isn’t too loud when writing on iPad. Great sensitivity. Now I’m just trying to figure out my preferred note taking app. Also now experimenting with drawing tools for art.
This is also great for photo editing.

I love this Apple Pencil! It works great with my iPad and I have had no issues. Very helpful for fun with drawing and for marking up pdfs and other documents.
Only downside is the price. Since it is the 1st generation the price is still high.

I bought this with my iPad Pro and it works like a champ.
It charges extremely quickly after it dies so you can dive right back into creating with your iPad.The only down side is the little cap on the end could easily be lost. Knock on wood this has not happened to me yet.

I got this mainly for digital illustration and so far it's been great. I've tried digital art before but the styluses never felt as nice as this. The price is definitely higher than expected, but I'd say it's worth it for digital artists.

This pen is slightly weighted, so it feels balanced when using it with the iPad. The sensitivity is great, and I like that I don’t have to pair it. It connects to my iPad right away!

I bought this to use with the iPad Mini 5. It works as expected and for note taking works well. The length of charge time is good. The design could be improved with the addition of an inexpensive retaining band to keep the cap from being lost while charging.
The adapter to charge the pen is also prone to becoming separated or lost . Otherwise so far I have not encountered any problems.
