    Apple Pen keeps screen clean

    Besides all the normal uses, I have found the Apple Pen very responsive and great at keeping the screen clean. I used to use a rubber-tipped pen, but they make lots of marks, and the screen needed frequent cleaning. Now I don't!

    It’s very handy to use. The only thing is, I wish I could use it while it is charging.

    We bought this to help homeschool our elementary aged kiddo on the iPad. It's wonderful and easy to use, very good tool for young kids (and adults haha)

    This Apple Pencil gives me the flexibility to write my notes and draw smoothly. I will definitely recommend this Apple Pencil for older iPad generations!

    Gave this to our daughter as a gift since she really likes to draw and she love it! I just wish the price is not that ridiculously expensive but other than that definitely worth it.

    bought this refurbished, DEFINITELY worth it. Looks brand new, works flawlessly. Great addition to the 6th Gen iPad. Highly recommended. Not an artist, but very useful for general iPad activities.

    Another Apple product to my collection. The setup is super easy and the quality is what you can expect from Apple. If you want a stylus for your iPad, this is a no brainer

    A good device if you’re wanting to sketch and write on your iPad. However, charging it from the iPad is awkward, but luckily it comes with an adapter to charge via your lightning cable. Wish it had magnetic attachments, but if you want that you’ll have to get the 2nd gen which only works on Pro iPads.

    Had to buy it after my dog ate my first one. Yup. He bit it bad. But, I have an iPad Pro that was missing the pencil. Great as always. Easy to charge, easy to use.

    I tried using a regular soft stylus on my new iPad Pro but it lacked the precision of the Apple Pencil. This stylus opens up the capabilities of the iPad and makes it an even more indispensable tool for my work.

    I really love this stylus. I used to buy all the different styluses by Adonit but this one naturally beats those out for me. Never lags, quick charge, and really fluid to write with! It is the best companion to have with an iPad Pro.

    Works well enough, but should be much better

    The design of this stylus is bizarrely bad for Apple. Charging requires either sticking it into the bottom of an iPad (practically begging to get broken) or using an easy-to-lose dongle to plug it into a lightning cable. I purchased a separate charging stand, but it is still very vulnerable. The stylus has a little tactile feedback, but not much and the feel is much worse than that of the Surface Pen (from the 4th edition onward). There aren't interchangeable tips with varying levels of tactile feedback either. The top doesn't work as an eraser (ironically, the Surface Pen has an eraser and the Apple Pencil does not), which is a bit inconvenient when writing (main thing I use a tablet for). The best thing about the Apple Pencil? That it works correctly on an iPad Pro. They really need to improve the design for the next version though. If there were a version of the Surface Pro that was as small and light as the iPad Pro...

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I've been looking for a fine point stylus, with no luck. I am very pleased with how well it works. The battery stays charged for several days, even though I use it to take notes for several classes a day. I absolutely love it!

    Lost my 1st I had. Had to buy another. Works great . My grandkids love to color. This is perfect for any task. I don’t care for the way it charges off the iPad. Other than that it is awesome.

    The apple pencil creates an excellent free hand capability for drawing painting note taking etc.The response and feel of the pencil is very natural. No real delay if any, when drawing, or writing. A must have with your IPad Pro.

    Prior to purchasing the pencil, I read many reviews, visited Best Buy just to try it out and decided to purchase it. I really enjoy having it and can't wait until it is usable with other programs. However, it's works great in notes.

    The pencil is easy to use and mimic a real pencil or writing instrument. I did purchase a screen for my iPad so that the pencil doesn’t just slide across the screen.

    I love the fact this makes using my iPad so much easier, especially learning how to do calligraphy using procreate. I also love drawing with this and creating anything I can with it. Super user friendly too.

    A perfect compliment to my Ipad Air. I previously had a different pen, and like that the Apple Pencil will show on my iPad if I need to recharge it.
