Excellent pencil, better than any other device i've used especially with never having to worry about running out of juice. I do wonder why not just use a AAAA cell and have the pencil run for months at a time. Wish it had a rear eraser tip like the surface pens and quick buttons but i guess they needed the space in there to make it wrote better. Any additional top options like you have with surface pen?

The pen I bought so I could take some written notes sometimes. But now I use it more for photoshop than anything else. It works great, I have large hands and it was always frustrating to me to try to edit and either add to much or take away to much. I love it!!!!

Much better than Logitech Crayon

It is better than Logitech alternative in the sense that it has pressure sensitivity. However, it is easier to break. If you are going to draw pictures buy this one. If you are going to use it at school you may want to consider Logitech crayon.

It was made by Apple of course and for the iPad. So I expected it should work well and it definitely does. I was trying to find a cheaper alternative at first but I'm glad I didn't. This pen was designed specifically for the iPad and has not given me any issues whatsoever.

Had a lot of paper from lawyers and this came in handy. Just sign and return. Didn’t have to print out the paperwork just used my iPad Pro and sent it back to the lawyer. Also sold a house and the paperwork easy and quick. Sign and send.

I got the pencil for school to use along side my iPad. The pencil is very functional and charges extremely fast when needed! I have never had an issue with it thus far and I am sure it will continue to work tremendously for me.

It glides real smooth through my glass ipad screen protector. I was considering in buying another pen, but I'm so glad I did not.
It is great for taking college notes!!
And let me emphasize that glides so smoothly!!

Love this pencil!!! I use it every time I use the iPad Pro, even if it's just for scrolling around. I wish it would work with my older iPad as well!!! My only complaint would be that not enough cases have a holder to keep the pencil attached to the iPad, which would be a great help!!!

Had to buy one for each child and they're happy with this item.
Only con is the price for such a simple/extra apple device, that should be included with the ipad

I use the pencil for digital artwork on my iPad. Absolutely amazing. My only dislike is how the pencil is charged by sticking it into the port directly. I am super careful when charging it.

The Apple Pencil is what iPad has needed and it doesn’t disappoint. I actually find myself using my iPad far more since getting this. The charge lasts for a very long time before needing another charge.

Works perfectly with my iPad 8th generation! Just like pencil and paper. I get a little afraid when I am charging it for the risk of it breaking out of the charger if hit, but other than that, it is perfect!

This is truly an amazing tool for artists. So easy to use and set up. I recommend getting a pencil stand and or a case that can hold the pencil. Also grips are available that make it easier to hold for long periods of time.

Thank you!This item is a must. I normally use a track bar with my computer. And this works essentially the same way. It increases your speed and production! Much faster than touching things with your finger. You’ll wonder how you ever got along without it!

We love our apple pen. We enjoy doodling pretty often, so this is an excellent gift for any full time or part time artist. Works great with the latest generation iPad. I’ll definitely be I the market for the apple pen 2 when I upgrade to an iPad Pro.

Great sensitivity, accurate, tried an open box before and despite geek squad assurance it being fine, it didn't work in the slightest, wouldn't charge or connect to the iPad. Had to get a full priced one so if anyone tries an open box version make sure to try it in store.
