Works great my 14 yr old loves it! Only drawback is it has to be plugged up to charge and cap comes off to charge. 2nd generation pen charges while magnetically attached to compatible iPad.

Simply awesome! What can I say? Sooo much better than a mouse or using a laptop. The Apple Pencil is one amazing technology! It makes digital drawing so much easier and cleaner. $100 is definitely worth it considering all the things that it can do.

This is the best stylis I have ever purchased. If you are an artist and you have an iPad Pro, this product is a must have tool. You can control your strokes, thin or thick lines, brushes and there are a lot of Apps that are compatible with the Apple Pencil.

Even though I’m not a graphic designer or artist, I’ve found the pencil to be helpful and easy to use for simple tasks on iPad. Being able to easily highlight text and make finer taps/touches in apps than with finger are nice. Syncs easily but no battery level indicator until its very low. Slick finish and little bit too long are only drawbacks for me.

Response time is very good, sleek feel, but not too sleek to where you feel like you’ll drop it all of the time. Make sure you have a iPad Pro (not the new big ones) or the other iPad that works with this. Do your research first!

I like the use of the pin, I can be creative by drawing detailed pictures since I’m and artist by nature and a writer. I’m vey glad I added the Apple Pencil to my new IPad.
My reason for a four star and not five is when I power down my iPad I have to Re-sync my pin, maybe one day Apple will bill in its memory a automatic pairing.

Bought this with my iPad, still haven’t used it much. If you are an artist, I recommend buying an iPad compatible with the most recent Apple Pencil and getting that one instead. This one has a very strange way of charging... you plug it directly into the bottom of the iPad lightning port... it’s incredibly inconvenient

Having fun with illustration programs. Haven't used anything other than fingers and a cheap stylus on my iPad in the past, so this is a joy. I've used Wacom tablets and their pens, but the ApplePencil on an iPad Pro is a great leap forward for me. Love it.

This thing is incredible. Smooth, does what it is supposed to do with no problems whatsoever. I was skeptical but this thing writes on your iPad just like you're writing on paper. Makes using apps like Notes Plus on the iPad a dream. Love it, love it, love it ....

Battery life is awesome. I believe no stylus can rival the performance and response of iPencil.
There are multiple apps out there which makes an absolute pleasure to work with pencil. Last but not the least, it completes my ipad pro.

Bought this for my Dad to use with his new iPad (also a Christmas gift) - he loves some painting coloring app and spends hours on it. I think he will enjoy the precision that the pencil offers

My husband loves to draw and this works great for him. He loves using his IPad for everything! He is constantly using it and even had someone video his daughter's wedding with it. He uses it for work also so the pen came in very handy for that also.

I had a surface pro4 and really liked it. I found myself using it like a real notebook. Loved the pencil application. Unfortunately I had my car broken into and the computer stolen. So I decided to get an apple Ipad pro and use the apple pencil in a similar fashion that I used my surface. First having had both I don't see much difference from the surface pencil. But I am not using it for drawing. I am a medical professional and use it to write patient notes, daily to do's and various other writing applications. And so far I really like it. But I do have two issues one I hate that I have to sinc the pen after I turn on the ipad. And also I wish the eraser was on the top of the pen. I do find it slippery and slick which at times makes it more difficult to hold. But all in all its a perfect addition to my ipad pro needs. I am super happy I made the purchase.

The Apple iPad Pro and Apple Pencil join together to help you totally digitize your work and save paper and therefore, trees. Amazing tool which is super responsive.
Only downfall is the battery life and the easiness of losing the charging cap.

Wow! It is the best stylist I have ever used. It is very responsive and very rarely does it not connect when your using it to navigate. I like everything about it and they 99% nailed it on the first try. If you have any of the iPad Pro's, this is a must accessory.

I love the apple pen.... The precision of this pen is awesome, much better then Pencil by 53, which I used before the apple pencil. The only down to it in my books is that it doesn't have an erase function like pencil by 53....
Other then that is incredible....
