Once I opened the package and felt the initial weight of the pencil it felt great, not to heavy and not to light. The balance of this pencil makes its use easy because it allows for good dexterity for fine motor movement. I really like it

This stylus/pencil was purchased to use with an iPad Air. It is great for taking notes, but especially for drawing on the iPad. Very intuitive, and very responsive, it provides a level of pinpoint control that is needed for drawing.

If you have use for a stylus (artist, taking notes, etc.), I would highly recommend buying this pen. However if you are like me and purchase just to try it out and show off, its not worth the $100.

I bought this because I am a teacher. I use an app on my iPad and the Apple Pencil to write notes on for my students to copy. It allows my handwriting to be neater. Must buy if you are writing on your iPad or drawing. Better than any stylist I’ve ever used.

The Apple Pencil is a terrific accessory for the iPad Pro. I downloaded a notes app (GoodNotes) and I am now taking electronic notes instead of using paperlegal pads. It only took a few minutes to get adjusted to using the pencil. Love the easy ability to highlight and change "ink" color.

For writing, drawing, or coloring Applications, this is the go to electronic device. Very easy to learn and use. BE CAREFUL to get the right Generation for your device. And don’t accidentally lose or misplace it. Get the Pencil case.

At first I thought I didn’t need it, but it comes in handy. I have had to sign a document that’s emailed to me. It worked like a charm. I used it to sketch out a design for a ring I wanted. And it helps me minimize the fingerprints on the screen. So far I like it and it was worth the purchase.

I do like my Apple Pencil. It’s perfect for drawing and isn’t too large. I keep it in a pencil case in my purse and never lost any of the little pieces. It’s fast to charge. The lines it draws are smooth and also works as a stylus mouse/ finger. I use it with multiple drawing apps.

Even though Steve Jobs may jump up and down in his grave, because he hated the idea of a stylus for his devices. Its still working great. I don't use it on a every day basis, but in the cockpit it replaces my old pen. It disconnects when not used and as soon as you pick it up, it reconnects.

The design of this pencil is great. It feels really nice in my hand and is very easy to use. And I absolutely love that it just needs to be plugged into the iPad for a moment to connect. Super thrilled I bought it and love using it with my iPad!

I purchased the Apple pencil for my daughter who is taking post-Bac pre-med courses online due to the covid virus. It has been an absolute timesaver in terms of taking online tests, producing online lab wite-ups, etc. Highly recommended.

I'm blown away by how much better the Apple Pencil is than the old styluses I've been using. I had stopped using them because they were so clunky and hard to do detail work with. Not the Apple Pencil. It's almost like writing with a regular pencil on a piece of paper. Highly recommended!

The pencil is everything that I thought it would be. It is intuitive and the drawing apps are amazing. There are endless brushstrokes- pen, colored pencil, ink, calligraphy- all with precise detail just like using the “real” drawing utencil. There is only one small drawback- the pencil does not have a low battery indicater on it. My iPad displays a warning, but it would be nice to have one on the pen itself.

It’s Apple. It’s going to be expensive and it’s going to have great quality. If you bought an iPad Pro 10.5 inch, this is a must have accessory for the true tech person. Especially with the update to iOS 11, just touching the pen to screen allows you to take notes. It’s worth the buy!

Seriously, give this a try in store (my Best Buy pulled out a demo unit to let me give it a go). I was instantly sold on needing this pencil.
It’s shocking how useful it is (especially if you get the iPad Pro that has 120hz refresh rate) for drawing and touching up photos. Love it.
