The Apple Pencil, in my experience, is a vital tool for editing scores, for which I use my iPad Pro. With the ForScore app, I have all my musical scores all stored electronically. If I need to edit fingerings, or make tempo or phrase markings on the score, the Apple Pencil comes in very handy. I can't live without it.

The Apple Pencil is the best stylus for the sixth-gen iPad and iPad Pro. To charge the Pencil, you remove the back cap and stick it into the Lightning port on the bottom of your iPad. This creates a very awkward scene, with the Pencil sticking out of the iPad at a right angle. Fortunately, you can also use the included adapter to charge it with a standard Lightning cable. There is, however, nowhere to store the cap from the back of the Pencil while it's charging, which makes it too easy to lose. It a good Pen if you plan to use it often.

I really enjoy the Apple Pencil. I had my doubts at first; it seemed like a gimmick. But after playing with it for a while, it really grew on me. I mainly use it for taking school notes w/my iPad Pro 10.5 inch. It last me about two school days, or about 12 total hours of use. My only complain is that the battery on the Apple Pencil can drain if you don't turn of bluetooth on your iPad. Even though it automatically goes into "battery save" when you sleep the iPad, it still continues to drain. Other than that, it's great. Oh yeah. and it charges really fast, 100% in about 15 minutes. I don't know how this compares to other stylists.

This pencil charges so fast and is super easy to use. Although the connectivity will disconnect if not used for a few days, it only takes a quick plug in to sync again. Very precise!

When Apple came out with these iPads, one of the big promotions was that you could use this pencil with it. Well it is an awesome pencil and works very well. You can write on your iPad just as if you were writing on a notepad. You can write in cursive and there is no lag and no issues with your arm being on the iPad while you are writing. My biggest gripe is that I think for the price of these iPads, they should really come with this. A hundred dollars is a lot after buying the iPad. But Apple is in it to make money, and there's no question after using it, I would buy the pencil again if I lost it. Its that good!

My wife is an artist and also likes to write out her notes. This Apple Pencil works great for both programs. She can use the notes app and write out her notes, or use it in one of her many drawing programs. It's sleek, stylish, and works like a charm. Feels great in your hand. Easy to use. Tucks into the case I got for her for her iPad.

Hi Everyone, As a professional artist, I wanted to try the iPad Pro with the Apple pencil and it is just amazing. It is the best stylus I have ever used for drawing. It has precision control just like drawing with a regular pencil on paper. It is just the most fantastic tool to use with digital drawing. I am extremely pleased with this product.

Got for the wife and she loves it! Looks and feels premium and she loves using it to draw and color on her drawing apps and such. Definitely pricey and not sure why these are so dang expensive for what they are. But least they work well. Charges quick and can tell the charge of the pencil thru your iPad.

The Apple Pencil is absolutely fantastic. The battery life and charging cycle are both amazingly quick and robust. The interaction of the pencil and it’s Bluetooth functionality in conjunction with the iPad Pro absolutely destroys any stylus experience you’ve ever had. It’s fast, accurate and precise. If you are used to using a stylus to write you all yourself the experience of at least trying the Apple Pencil. You will not regret it.

This has been the best thing I could have purchased for school. Taking notes is now almost exclusively done on my ipad now that I can write them down rather than awkwardly type. This pencil is super responsive and puts other stylus pens I've used with phones and tablets to shame. This is a must have for anyone that uses their i pads for school.

Using the Apple Pencil, the first time was a bit confusing as to how it comes part and gets charged, as I am new to this and didn’t know the top pops off and the lightening connector is the charge cord. The syncing is cumbersome as you have to sync it every time you turn your laptop on. Not sure I will use it to much as it requires you to take off its cap and plug it into the Lightning connector on your iPad. When you see the Pair button, tap it. After you pair your Apple Pencil, it will only stay paired until you restart your iPad, turn on airplane mode, or pair with another iPad. Expensive item.

For an ipad it's hard to beat the Apple pencil for integration. Connectivity, ease of use, and feel are very good. I was genuinely surprised how short the battery life is though. I got this for my wife, but I have a Microsoft Surface. The Surface pen I've had for over a year has yet to need new batteries, but the Apple pencil dies after moderate use. Also the cap is just too easy to lose so we bought a holder for it to keep it attached when charging. So if you have an ipad this is a good choice, just be prepared for regular charging.

Purchased with new iPad Pro 9.7" and ended up returning the pencil. It was hard to get a solid grip on due to the glossy finish on the pencil. It functioned as advertised, but my struggle with the grip, and the type of use I need, this was not for me. If you draw or design with the iPad, it would be a good add-on.

Easy to use. Works great! Helps with precision typing and navigation (anyone with larger fingertips knows how frustrating it is when your looking at something, try to scroll using your finger, then poof... You have been rerouted because you erroneously hit a portion of the page that you didn't mean to touch... This helps alleviate that issue).

The Apple Pencil is a fantastic stylus. It is incredibly precise, in terms of tracking and pressure sensitivity. Zero lag in drawing or writing. I also have a glass screen protector on my iPad Pro, and it does not effect performance. Even if you do not draw or want to take hand written notes, the Apple Pencil is great for general browsing, swiping, scrolling and tapping. It is a little expensive, but totally worth it.

This thing works GREAT! The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I am not convinced that it's worth the price for everyone. If it were not for my teenage son using it a lot for his art, it would sit unused 97% of the time and I am a professional photographer. You'd think I would have a lot of uses for it but honestly I don't I use it for retouching on occasion and it's great for that but that's about it. For daily use of the iPad, I don't find it adds much value. Maybe that's because I have never used a stylus before?

I picked up an Apple Pencil for use in class. Adjusting to the Pencil takes some time. Great battery life on a full charge. It uses Bluetooth and is easy to pair with my iPad Pro. I would say the amount of free note taking apps is impressive, but would recommend one that saves your notes automatically in the cloud to take up less storage.

I had to get this one as I needed it for my regular iPad, since there is no way to contact charge the 2nd gen on these iPads. like it, and have not seen much difference in use from my other 2nd generation pencil which I use with my iPad pro. It works really well, almost feels like a real pen. I haven’t seen any type of lag and or is definitely way better than a regular stylus.

Works perfectly on my iPad pro. Very responsive. Easy and fast charging. Charge last a long time.

I purchased an iPad and Apple Pencil combination prior to entering the semester and i don't regret it at all. Being able to write notes right then and there without the fuss of papers everywhere is convenient. The pencil is very smooth and really does the job! Charging the pencil is quick. I enjoy the feel of the tip of the pencil when i write my notes.
