    Great for notes

    I really enjoy using the Apple Pencil to take notes in class. Download OneNote and insert PowerPoints as PDFs directly on a poster board style screen. Draw, write and highlight with the Apple Pencil, while being able to type notes anywhere on the screen.

    I have been using it to fill out documents on my ipad. It works well. I don’t like that there is no place to put the top piece when charging it. I have temporarily misplaced it a couple of times and for the price, I would hate to lose a piece of it while charging it!

    Bought this for my son to help with tracing letters now that he's in TK. He loves it and it works great.

    Love the simplicity of just using the pencil instead of touch screen. Documents that need a signature can’t be done professionally without having an Apple Pencil. Just using your finger to sign looks like Shrek got ahold of your iPad to sign for you.

    Got it as a nice add on for the wife.... it’s just used as a kids crayon now. The quality is great and the battery life is out of this world but unless you really need this you’re never getting the money’s worth out of it.

    Really, no parallax! Can't even get that on my cintiq. the cap can be cumbersome, but it charges pretty quickly. If I draw ferociously for too long, sometimes the tip loosens a bit, but that's just a quick tighten with your fingers.

    Works well with my iPad Air. Has great battery life. The only downside is charging, charging through the iPad is the fastest way to charge but is inconvenient having this pointy pencil sticking out of the iPad when you are using it.

    I originally purchased the Apple Pencil just to try it out and had low expectations for it, but after using it once I was hooked for life. I use this for note taking and to fill out documents for work and it has truly made my life easier and my notes legible.

    This Apple Pencil works so well with the new iPad. I bought the pencil to help with my sons online learning. It is very handy. I would recommend it to anyone who had a newer iPad. It is very handy. S little pricy but well worth it.

    If you own an iPad Pro or the latest generation iPad the Apple Pencil works flawlessly. I really love the pressure sensitive ability. It ranges from a fine tipped pencil to a thick marker. Once you use this you’re wondering why you did not get one sooner.

    I really enjoy this pencil. It’s nice to have as a stylus and when I am writing notes. I also got a great deal and the best part is that Best Buy matches pricing with Amazon! Thank you so much Best Buy!

    I bought this for my daughter-in-law for Christmas. She had a less expensive styllus that she was unhappy with. The quality of this item is certainly worth the cost. Works wonderfully and was super easy to set up/connect. Best part - I get to play with it when I babysit!!

    Bought this pencil for my daughter but she decided she wanted the 2nd generation instead so I kept it and love it. Made using my iPad much easier. Using the pencil right now to write this review.

    I got this accessory for my new IPad. I’m still learning how to use it but so far it performs flawlessly. Easy to connect via Bluetooth and easy to charge with the included dongle.

    I was hesitant at first to purchase the pencil due to the pricing and not sure if I would really use it. I have to say this was such a smart buy considering now I don't know how I didn't have one. It's just as Apple pitched it, it's the most natural tool used in a new way - I love it.

    Purchase Apple pencil so I could edit documents for work, but I soon found how accurate it really is. I have been sketching and I am amazed at how many things you can actually do with the pencil. You can vary density, shade, highlight, color, anything you can imagine.

    So far so good. My wife uses it for making lists and notes to self on her I pad Air. Easy to set up and begin using. Currently looking for apps to draw in color or B&W. I think a pencil case would be a good add-in.

    This thing does exactly what it says it’ll do. My daughter LOVES this pencil. She can draw designs on her iPad effortlessly. Control and response is spot on. The only thing is that you have to charge it constantly if you use it regularly. Great pencil!!
