    I bought this for my daughter to take notes on her iPad Air. It works great in her college environment and with the apple Ecosystem her notes are available on all of her devices. Highly recommended.

    I have tried many other styli for iPads and while there are many that work and even work well, they never replaced my pen and paper method. When I received the iPad Pro 9.7 and the Apple Pencil that changed my note taking from pen and paper to iPad... I finally feel comfortable to put my notepad away.

    Better than I thought

    Works much better than your fingers or any other stylus. It even comes close to using artist pencils on paper in the fact that based on angle and pressure it mimics real pencil strokes. Now if Apple will make a smaller one available to use on the 8 Plus or X it would be awesome.

    Not very ergonomic i'm an Apple guy at heart and this pencil leaves me wanting .the accuracy is great but the slipperiness of it and its top heavy. it's out of balance all the time I'm really disappointed in how they designed it style wise I had to put a rubber sheets around it to keep it from slipping .it was so slippery overall not totally happy

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I love the Apple Pencil! I had an off brand before and it was worthless. This has been such a pleasure to use from the very beginning. I am pleased that it holds a charge much longer than I expected.

    I purchased this as a way to make grading papers easier. I'm so glad I did! This is much more precise than using my finger to write on my iPad, as I had been. I'd definitely recommend this product for teachers grading papers remotely.

    This Apple Pencil is perfect for the earlier iPads. I made the mistake of buying the 2nd Gen and it turns out that I needed the 1st Gen. Once the pencil was charged, it easily connected to the iPad and worked smoothly.

    If you own an iPad I think you need this pencil. It pairs so nicely with your iPad for journaling,digital planning and games. I love that i can rest my palm on the screen and still be able to use the pencil.

    Great except for minor issue....To pair this pen to my iPad, I must remove the cap and place the male lightning connector on the pen into the female lightning port on the iPad. I have a cover on my iPad. So everyday I must remove the cover to re-pair the pen to the iPad. Once paired, not sure why it looses the pairing every time you power down the iPad??????

    Apple once again has developed a product to make life easier for their users. The pencil is sturdy in your hand and draw and writes true to the writers writing style . I love it and use it everyday with out failure . The charge time is usually over night but I have no issues with the pencil at all.

    This is an excellent stylus, but they've very obviously improved on the design with the gen 2. It's super sensitive, and feels good in your hand, if a bit heavy. I have 2 complaints, first, it is entirely too smooth. The pencil will easily slip out of your grasp if you are not paying close attention to it. I'm forced to buy a cover for it to give my fingers something to grab. Second, the little end cap that covers the lightning connecter is entirely too easy to flick off. Without any way to hold it firmly in place, the magnet has already begun to weaken, and if I pull it out of my hand too quickly, the cap will come off. As I stated, I'm purchasing a cover for the pencil, to give some grip and secure the cap, but its just that a stronger magnet would have resolved the issue.

    Apple has built an amazing product that has answered all of my stylus wishes. Something that writes smoothly and is instant apparent where the tip of the writing device is. I use it daily while workings not the iPad Pro to jot notes, make annotations on documents and emails, as well as to sketch use cases. Would definitely recommend if you prefer writing as opposed to typing, drawing, or annotating visuals as an aid to your text.
