I have owned my 2017’ipad Pro since 2017 but after getting an Apple Pencil with my 2018 iPad I decided to get the older pencil and it made me fall in love all over again. Both iPads are incredible especially with my keyboards.

This is a must have tool for artists! The battery life on this thing is awesome and you can charge the pencil completely in less than 15 minutes. I wish the end cap did not come off completely as it’s quite easy to lose one. Apple has addressed a few issues in the newer version- Apple Pencil 2, however it’s sadly not compatible with most iPads out there.

Best stylus I've ever used

After using the Pencile I would have purchased the iPad Pro just to buy it. Simply put, it is the best stylus I've ever used. Paired with the right art software you will really enjoy this tool. When you lay the Pencile on it's side to shade, I wish it would shade in more increments. This may be more of a software issue in the end, but it would be really nice.
I only have one complaint which reflects in my 4 star score. I hate the stupid charging adapter! I think I have already lost mine. Who in their right mind created it? Did it even need one? Couldn't they have just put a female adapter on the pen itself? Couldn't they integrate it into the pen so you could just take it off? My only thought is that it was an afterthought and Apple felt that it was important enough to add in.

Love this pen!!! Got the new iPad so I had to get the charger piece which was about $20 extra which is annoying but I love the note writing feature. Make sure you buy the pen that correlates to your iPad!!!

I've been using a stylus to take notes on my iPads for years. My preferred app is Notability, which works great for low-res stylus pens. The resolution & control of the Apple Pencil is phenomenal. I'm finding myself using OneNote more & more as the experience is excellent w/ the Apple Pencil (not so much with passive stylus devices that have lower resolution). Claims about no lag when writing are right-on. I bought a Poetic Lumos case w/ integrated Apple Pencil holder and love the combo.

I thought it was "just another stylus"...

I was wrong - it wasn't just another stylus. After having various graphic artists as well as graffiti artists try it on, they all agreed on what I experienced. It was more precise, smoother, less latency than any other peripheral. Way less cumbersome than having to finger on screen. The reason apple can overcharge it's customers on an item like this is, because there is nothing on th market like it. Of coarse they will find find way to market how well they outdid themselves, with apple pencil 2.

First my gripe, totally one me, but my gripe nonetheless: bought 2nd gen for newest iPad, only to discover it was only compatible with 1st gen pencil. OK, no problem will hold onto this since I plan to get a iPad Pro later this year. Go buy the 1st gen pencil for $10 more than the 2nd gen, wha?? OK, it was on sale so whatever, now get it home and take it out to sync it up only to discover you need a lightning to usb-c adapter to pair it the first time because…Apple. So a week after Christmas and my little one can finally use her “new” pencil.

Apple has done it again... A great accessory to add to the Apple ecosystem. With a option to turn off all touch from anything other than the ipencil... It makes scetching so much better not having to worry about your palm or resting hand messing up your drawing. Lots of other applications that support the device as well. Great purchase!

It’s not magnetic, but it works with the iPad mini 5, so you actually go have to buy some protecting storage for it. Scratches easily, but overall amazing. No lagging, glides across the screen. Worth the money.

This is my first official iPad/Apple Pencil experience and I have to say...Apple did it right! I have a Samsung Note tablet as well as a Surface Pro 3 and the Apple Pencil is just a better stylus. It works much better than any other stylus I've ever used. I can't say enough. The only drawback is the lack of a charge indicator. It died on me once without warning but it seems like I holds a decent charge.

I first purchased a pen from Amazon for under $20. I couldn’t stomach purchasing one that cost $100. After a year of frustration and my cheap pen dying after 10 minutes of use each time I decided to take a chance on purchasing the apple pen. HUGE difference. Not just in the charge but the feel! It’s very smooth and easy to use. I don’t feel like I have to pound at the opad for it to “take”. If you’re on the fence.. jump over and go for it!! It’s well worth it!

I am a first time iPad owner and I bought the new iPad Pro 10.5". I wanted to take full advantage of what my iPad was capable of so I bought the Apple Pencil. I am beyond blown away at what this thing can do. The Apple Pencil is by far the most precise stylus I have ever used on any device! It is definitely worth every penny and a must have if you own an iPad Pro!
