When we got the ipad pro we also got this pen and a keyboard. it is just like having a mac book only better. my daughter can draw on the ipad with this and she loves it. ask the bestbuy rep to show you a demo. it is awesome and worth the money!

I love my iPencil, I am terrified of loosing my iPencil. It needs a clip like a regular pen so that it can be more securely fastened. Also some way to attach the cap covering the charger plug would have been good. I am so worried I will loose this little piece while it charges. I love writing and drawing with it. The ability to write with a fine point really is just like using a pencil.

Works very seamlessly as expected from Apple. Brings a variety of new things to do with newest IPad. In addition to Notes, many other apps are available. I went with the Apple product after reviewing options from other companies.

I got the Apple Pencil because Best Buy was offering a special deal. Don't know that I would have spent the $99 to buy it otherwise. I have yet to use it to anywhere near its potential, and don't know if I ever will, but it does pair very nicely with the iPad Pro, is very precise, and I expect I will find it more valuable as I get into more things it can do for me.

Best Stylus Ever

The pencil blows away every other stylus I have used before (mostly entry level Wacom products). It is silky smooth and really feels natural. As if thats not enough, the iPad is able to easily block out my palm which makes it feel even more natural.

After getting my new iPad Pro, I needed the pencil, of course! It’s great! I had to try a few apps until I found one I liked to draw with. This pencil is very responsive, doesn’t skip, and recharges in seconds.
A little pricey, but worth it!

This works extremely well if you follow the directions. Be sure and read the manual materials. I found the YouTube videos to also =be helpful in getting the most out of the pen and the new tablet. Works well in business meetings

This was a great gift for my fiance who already had an ipad but did not realize with notes you can use this tablet in a whole new way. This along with Notability and it opened up a whole new usage of the tablet and she loves it.

I love my Apple Pencil it’s very easy to use and convenient for someone who takes digital notes. My only complaint is the way it’s charged. Obviously with the second gen this problem was fixed but I would suggest buying a silicone case that can keep your top cap of your Apple Pencil safe if not you’ll loose it.

Pen works fine - Apps are challenging

The pen was a present for my wife. Pen works great if you can figure out how to make the apps work. She is a great artist but she is short on computer skills. Most full-blown drawing apps are beyond my wife's computer skill level. She is now searching for an app that is for level entry computer knowledge and still allows her to use all of the pens capabilities.

I was back and forth between the Apple Pencil with the iPad or switching to a surface pro. But I’m glad I stayed with apple I love the apps I’ve found to use the pencil with and I’ve been able to take note and work on projects with it.

If you have an iPad Pro I'll recommend you the pencil which is going to make your life easier, specially if you draw. It also works if you like to use the notes app because you can write the notes using your own handwriting instead of the keyboard.

Apple Pencil is not revolutionary, but it’s implementation is the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of enjoying. Pressure and detail are captured and displayed accurately ensuring a very smooth, pleasurable and satisfying drawing experience

I bought the Apple pencil for my Wife for Christmas. She uses it for drawing and loves it. I borrowed it to use on my IPad Pro for drafting. I will be buying myself one soon. It does seem a little fragile I guess we will see who it turns out.

A bit on the expensive side but it makes drawing on the iPad a joy. The things my kids have been able to creak using the Apple Pencil are beautiful.

I am really happy I purchased the iPad pencil. So much so, I bought one for my 9 year olds iPad too. She loves to draw and loves it! Very easy to set up and use. It’s like a stylus, only much, much better. Highly recommend.

These have evolved with the iPad Pro line and allow the owner to create fabulous are projects, annotating items, writing memos and a host of other items. I
I highly recommend taking a class so that the user can max the uses for the pencil.

My daughter used this for school - she found it made her first year in middle school so much easier. While she still does not like doing math homework, using the Apple Pencil makes it a bit more fun!
