I am not an artist and only use my Apple pencil for note taking and marking up documents and love it and hope they continue to develop more apps for this purpose.
My Daughter is an artist and loves her Apple pencil and is very impressed and pleased with how well it works for her.

I bought this to go with my newly purchased iPad Pro. While your finger is generally the best tapping device, there are times when you need more pinpoint accuracy. This product fulfills that need. As an added benefit, you end up with fewer fingermarks on the iPad. As I said, pricey, but worth it.

My untechie husband didn't want to spend money for pencil for his new 6th generation Ipad. I told him I would buy the pencil for him. Now he can't put his ipad or pencil down. He loves drawing and enjoys the pencil when taking notes at meetings.

Don't lose the cap

I know they sell after market items to help keep it in place but I didn't go for that. As long as your cap is in your work space, you won't lose it. It's neat how it can allow you to have different pressure points for the boldness of the writing. I can't draw for anything so I haven't become an artist as in the promo. But it's a great tool. Wasn't completely necessary the way other people said. It comes with an extra tip.

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 mostly use this to take notes in college classes. Works great in tandem with the ipad pro! It definitely works well and it easily replaced my regular pen and paper note taking. The one complaint that I have is that the battery tends to run down fairly quickly under constant use, BUT it charges really fast when you plug it into the ipad pro 12.9. Just keep an eye on the battery life, so that you don't have a dead pencil.

Not as good as version 2

It's a decent device, but there are a few issues.
It's fairly top heavy, it's not very well balanced in the hand.
It's perfectly round so it will roll off of things.
It doesn't attach to the iPad in any way. I added a clip from a pen so I could clip it onto the smart cover but it's not ideal.
You can plug it into the iPad to charge it, but it sticks straight out and I'm always afraid it will get bent and break the port or the pencil. You can charge it with a regular charging cable, but you have to use a little tiny adapter. There's no good way to carry it around with you without losing it.
Apple Pencil 2 is so much improved, so it's worth considering getting an ipad that's compatible with it rather than getting a 1st generation pencil. The Apple Pencil 2 has wireless charging, It magneticall attaches to the iPad. It's much lighter and better balanced. It has a flat side so it doesn't roll off of things as easily.

I Iike using my stylus pen. It is an invaluable tool for creating art directly on the iPad Pro’s screen, and then sending it to share to friends. You can let loose your imagination with this mighty stylus pen, and make fabulous artwork. The possibilities are limitless !

Works well, it takes a little while to get used to writing with it but you can always get the accessory for it that makes it feel like writing on paper. The best thing is how well it works with the iPad. I highly recommend getting a case that comes with a place to put the pencil because it's super slippery and could easily get lost.

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.

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 have been using he Apple Pencil for editing pictures, and it is great! It allows you to be very precise. I had been wanting to crop a picture of my parents (actually crop others out) and the results were awesome! I have used the pencil on other photos too. Great tool for this!

This pencil is super easy to use. It doesn’t take long to charge at all. I use it for my 7th generation iPad. I would’ve bought the second one but unfortunately it’s not compatible with my iPad. So I settled for this one

I didn’t think I would use the pen and questioned if I should buy one. I did anyway. It has proved to be a lot of fun. I’m no artist, I just like to try different things and this pen has been great. I haven’t explored everything it can do, but I sure have fun using it.

One of the best products apple has made to date. Highly recommend. I would buy a second pencil charger adapter tho. It’s small and easy to lose, so find a special spot to leave it in and return it after use.

I bought the Apple pen for my child to use on their iPad to draw. This pen is amazing and so are the drawing my child has created. The pen is easy to set up and makes working on the iPad a dream to quote my child.

I use the Apple Pencil with Adobe Sketch on my iPad Pro to create my drawings. It also works with various other apps. It's a great stylus. On Adobe, it allows you to vary the pressure and angle of the pen to create different lines. The point is narrow enough to allow for detailed drawings.

I love it, when I’m writing it determines what I meant pretty well (Write to text). It pretty much never dies because it’s always on top of my iPad charging for convenience. Does not drain my iPad’s battery at all.
