    I like my pencil but would like to see it a little smaller or have a better way to attach it to my iPad Pro so it can stay charged and not get misplaced at times. They need to fix notes up to use the pencil better than having it to where if you touch the screen with your hand and fingers it marks up your notes.

    Works well and does the job it's designed to do. Simple and clean design, easy to use. Attaches to the side of the unit so it does not get lost.

    Easy to use, yes you need to keep it charged which is easy enough. However i have not found it that useful that I grab it when I open my iPad Pro. Hopefully over time I will find more pertinent uses. It s novel but the cost is high for what you get.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Better than a stylus

    Love using this pencil instead of a stylus for iPad drawing and lettering. Just wish it wasn’t so slippery and that I’d didn’t have to buy additional accessories to use comfortably.

    I bought this stylus for my wife, and she loves it. It is very handy for drawing pictures or highlighting text on her iPad. The only downside is that it has to be charged. Good product.

    Great for using this pencil with both iPad Pro and iPad Air! Downside: the cap is removable (don’t lose it!) and has no grip (had to brought an sleeve for the pencil)

    Does what it supposed to do. As with any Apple product a large price can be expected. Just wish Apple would offer some other color.

    This is GREAT in terms of function except... it is delicate and plugging it into the end of my iPad to join and charge I expect it to break. The design of the new pencil is much better however the new one ONLY works with the new iPad Pro. The addition of a lanyard would be advised.

    I love this pen so far. Works well with 2018 ipad and so far no complaints. I would recommend getting a paper like feeling screen protector since ipad surface is too slippery to write.

    The Apple Pencil for iPad Pro works great! And with iOS 11, a lot more apps work with it! Makes using the iPad Pro even easier. Definitely recommend this as a must have for the iPad Pro owner!

    I’ve resisted buying an Apple Pencil for my iPad for quite a while. I tried to get by with inexpensive capacitive styluses and they worked okay but not great. I finally decided to see if Best Buy had any out I could test. They did and I liked it a lot. It didn’t take long to figure out how much better it works! It writes just like a regular pen and my handwriting looks like it’s supposed to (I use it for making my todo list.) You really do get what your pay for!

    I use my iPad to grade papers and this is huge upgrade to a dumb stylus. Makes grading papers, taking notes, and anything else you need to do on paper so much more convenient!
