    I bought the pencil as I wanted a stylus for the super cheap 2018 9.7 inch ipad. Make sure you use a case that fits the way the pencil charges. I still use the stylus a little bit, but 100 dollars is a steep price for a good stylus.

    An electric pencil for the pad, and it does very well with taking notes. It's easy to use, because....it's a pencil. Duh. There's not much to tell about this. I do think that the little caps should be included, or a case. But I also understand capitalism.

    I was afraid that I was going to have a hard time finding ways to use the pencil. Boy was I wrong. I was able to use it on all of my music editing software without downloading any updates or new apps.

    I purchased the 9.7” iPad Pro and apple pencil and now I no longer use a notebook at work or school. All of my notes are now kept on my iPad. They are cleaner and much more organized.

    Honestly I don’t use it to its full potential but my 10 year old granddaughter loves it. She loves to draw and makes beautiful pictures on my iPad. It keeps her entertained for hours.

    I was on the fence for this stylus but Apple has made me a believer. The Apple Pencil is light but yet it feels premium. For more of a review please check out Tech Daddy Website. https://gotechdaddy.com

    At first I was hesitant believing an electronic pencil could replace a real pencil. After using it a few times, I am now convinced taking notes electronically will eventually take over doing this manually.

    Got this for an earlier model of the iPad. Great to use with procreate or circut design space. Or if you just like to doodle this is perfect

    It feels great in the hand, and is very accurate at the tip. Charging is a little awkward, but doesn't really affect anything about the functionality of it.

    Nice accessory for iPad Pro

    The Apple Pencil is a nice accessory to have with the iPad Pro if you like to draw or write but is limited in use otherwise. It does feel like you are using a real writing instrument and the built in palm rejection in iOS and pressure sensitivity in the device makes sure that it is only registering what you are trying to write

    I️ am not really the artistic type but I️ love the Apple Pencil just for simple note taking, editing, and marking up PDFs. It really isnt just another stylus, it has transformed the way I️ use my ipad.

    I use the pencil most of the time with my ipad pro for note taking, annotating pdfs, and interactive reading. You really need to purchase a Cap Keeper for $10 at Best Buy to not only keep the cap tethered to the pencil when charging, but also to prevent it from rolling off the desk.
