    Charges fast, lasts for hours, and has virtually no connectivity issues. I needed this to take notes on my iPad and it has been a positive transition from pen and paper.

    I'm a die hard Apple user and this pencil makes my iPad Pro work like a dream in the case with a screen protector. It effortlessly allows me to change screens, move apps, draw, and write in the case. I absolutely love it!

    I purchased this for my 12 year old granddaughter to go along with her new iPad. This pencil is fantastic! It is highly accurate and really makes the whole tablet experience a lot more fun.

    I was hesitant to spend the money, seemed extravagant. I’m amazed how useful it is, especially for note taking. My ability to hand write and draw has made this Apple Pencil almost indispensable.

    The pen works great with the Apple IPad Pro, just as advertised. Two suggestions though. Keep track of where you lay it down. I’ve lost 4 of them (mostly in hotels). Wish it had a clip to keep safely in my pocket..

    Super smooth, great for when I use drawing apps along when I need to sign something on my iPad. I haven’t had any issues with this Apple Pencil and love the ease of plugging it into the pad to charge.

    No complaints, the pen works as described. Easy enough to charge only thing I wish it could do is not get misplaced, maybe Apple can come up with a “Find My Pen” locator.. hahaha

    Could've been better

    The pen is white, which does not pair well with my Space Grey iPad. I remedied this by purchasing a black aluminum sleeve for it by "ZTYLUS" which gave it a pen clip and a plastic attachment so the cap doesn't get lost. The writing experience could be better had they chosen to use a softer tip. It just doesn't feel natural having such a hard tip writing on a slippery smooth glass surface. Lastly, the pen is far too large and difficult to grip because of it's smooth glossy finish. Unfortunately, it's the only pen I know of with legitimate pressure sensitivity and palm rejection for the iPad. The writing experience on the Surface tablets is far superior. I hate that I had to pay $100 for this knowing it could have been so much better.

    Best iPad Stylus

    Smooth, accurate and quick to respond. Only con is that the battery loses charge when you carry your Apple Pencil. It keeps activating itself with motion. The workaround is to un-pair the pencil or turn off Bluetooth.

    For a long time I was holding off trying Apple Pencil because I had a cheap stylus. When I finally bought the Apple Pencil the improvement is unbelievable especially when doing animation sketches.

    Very simple to pair with iPad Pro as well as easy to charge. Touch sensitivity is very good making it easy to write as well as draw on the numerous apps that you can use this with. If you have the Pro then you need the Pen!

    I didn’t necessarily need the Apple Pencil for my Ipad, but I ended up getting it anyway. It has a pretty good battery life and I love to use it so I can avoid getting fingerprints on the screen all the time. The tip of the pencil sounds hard when it touches the screen, but it hasn’t scratched my screen yet and works very well.

    Using the Apple Pencil with the Procreate App on the Ipad Pro 12.9" to create digital art. Love being able to erase and redraw without eraser shavings everywhere! The pencil interface feels smooth and natural to use.
