This pen works just as advertised. The only drawback is that it needs to come with some type of case that will attach to a lanyard or something that will help the owner keep track of the pen. Very afraid that it will get misplaced at work.

This pen is very percise and high quality. Charging the pen looks very silly. Make sure it’s compatible with your iPad, as I was about to buy the Apple Pencil 2 but unfortunately it’s only compatible with newer iPads.

Its a great pen for people who draw or take notes on their Ipad. But if you want to use it for casual use I would not buy this. I use it a lot for work so I get the most out of it.

The pencil is ultra smooth and feels like writing on a paper. The best buy delivery was also exactly on time. It was nicely packaged. Thanksgiving deal was also cool.

I have only used the Pencil a couple of times, works great, precise, connects immediately to iPad pro. I haven't had a problem with the connection cover but constantly paranoid that i will loose it. currently looking for accessories to avoid loss.

Great product but not necessarythere is definitely a market for this product. It is an awesome tool if you are an artist or just want to have a little more precision. I have used it for the first two weeks and now it's it's in my bag and I forget it's there

This ipad pencil is simple and easy to use. Only complaint I have is that the top cap that covers the charging/connectivity port comes off easily. I'd be in a meeting taking notes and it would pop off. Also, if you turn your ipad off, you have to reconnect the device via bluetooth. Bluetooth remembers most other devices, especially non-Apple ones, seems odd that it can't remember its own.

great function but heavy

I have no objection to its functioning, just perfect, but personally, my hand finds it heavy (especially the blunt end where its charger is located) when I grip and use it for some time. Other than that, it charged super fast and represents my hand writing just like I write it on a paper.
***Summary: great stuff but not suitable for a long-time use.

The apple pencil is real handy when taking notes for taking college credit hours. I am a returning William Jewell College after graduating in May 1987. If I would have had the apple pencil white back then it would have been a great asset.

I was looking for a way to take notes and not use a ton of paper. (I'm in grad. school.) This pencil and the note-taking apps let me do that. The only thing I'm not so sure about is the cap. It comes off to charge the pencil and I"m never sure where to put it so it doesn't get lost. The pencil feels good in my hand and it's fun to take notes with.

Game changer

Definitely a superior choice when it comes to a stylus option. I don't use it artistically, but instead for note taking. Big improvement over any other stylus I've tried, and I've tried more than a few. Could see where it would be a game changer for an artistic type.

The Apple Pencil is a great addition to the already fantastic Apple ipad. Had to purchase it for my 12-year old for Christmas. She was delighted. It was also on sale which made it even better,

I bought this Apple Pencil for my grandson who is a music composer. He is very happy with it for the music he is preparing for submission to music schools. He said it is a good tool for making notes on his I Pad when composing music.

I was very skeptical about paying $100 for a stylus. I was so wrong. There is so much more too it than that. It has become my favorite accessory of all time. A must have if you by a iPad that supports Apple Pencil.

I wasn't going to get this at first, but decided to go ahead and give it a try. I'm so happy I did! I am going back to school, and this is wonderful for taking notes in class, which saves paper, and I can reference them quickly.
Very happy with my purchase!

Pencil integration is spotty, but latest iOS 11 is supposed to be better. I’ve used it for sketches, notes, and a cheap handwriting recognition app - Nebo. It’s worth $2.99. Just got the iOS update and will be doing some more tests with other apps. The $99 on top of iPad Pro cost was a no brainer. Get one if you have any drawing or sketching interest, fingers won’t cut it.
