Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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 gave this as a gift. My first reaction is why does a pen cost as much as 25 percent the cost of rhe tablet? After seeing my daughter use it and the tips and all it can do? I think it is almost a steal. It really does a great job and wirh the procreate software, you are only limited by your imagination. Do yourself a favor. Buy the pen.

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

This pencil works great, it is super precise on the iPad Pro and makes drawing very fun. Even though it is on par with the cost of the pen for windows, $100 still seems pretty steep. The method for charging it seems kind of awkward as well, apple does not provide a charging cable. Instead you are able to plug the pan in directly to the tablet , Or use a cable connected via the tiny adapter which is provided… Yet another tiny piece of plastic to try and keep track of. I say this in reference to the tiny adapter that came with my iPhone 7 to plug an analog cable into the Lightning port instead of a headphone jack.

Apple Pencil available at Best BuyThe new Multi-Touch subsystem in iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects — just like with a conventional pencil.

Works great, very fast, responsive, accurate and has very good sensitivity. The only things I would change are the method of charging, as plugging it into an iPad and leaving it extended (and at risk for damage) is just bizzare and not really Apple-like. That said, it only takes a few mins for a quick charge or maybe 30 mins for a full charge. The other change I'd make is to somehow use the opposite end for an eraser rather than nothing functional.

I know this product is very expensive. I had spent a few months trying other Stylus's out. The generic, round, soft tip stylus just weren't responsive and accurate as I'd like them to be. I wanted to use my iPad Pro for a lot of note taking and decided to bite the bullet and go for the Apple Pencil. Couldn't be more happy with the performance of this. Still hate the price but it's responsiveness, accuracy, and feel are pretty unmatched.

I wanted to get a good tool I knew would work for freelance illustrations and the Apple Pencil works so smoothly with the iPad Pro it's astounding. No lag, excellent pressure sensitivity, and tough to boot. (I've dropped it a few times.) The Pencil can get me through several hours of drawing over a couple weeks on one charge. In a pinch it will go for 15-20 minutes after 5min plugged into the iPad. Overall I'm happy and definitely recommend.

This pencil is amazing, the battery lasts, and I love using it for both drawing on my iPad as well as writing down story ideas when they come to me. Definitely recommend. Just make sure the iPad you have is compatible with the pen you want. Some only accept 1st gen while others use the 2nd gen.

Easy to use. Precise and accurate stylus. Cap is easy to misplace is only real con.

I purchase this for my son to use in school. It allows him to take quick notes and jot things down on his iPad. He also uses it for drawing and artwork on his iPad. I like the way that it magnetically attaches to his iPad when not in use.

I bought this product to pair it with my 12.9 inch iPad Pro, and I must say it may just be a must if you have any pro model. It works well and has great functionality with drawing and note taking apps. Charging the device can be wonky, but there is an adapter that makes it easier. The only downside is losing the charging cover, but I’ve mitigated that by purchasing a an attachment that tethers the cap to the pen.

This is my first experience with the Apple Pencil after upgrading my ancient iPad to an iPad Pro 10.5". Very impressed with the easy pairing and setup. It also has a very natural feel in the hand and actually does a good job on the iPad screen with just a little practice. Battery life is good. The only minor issue I have is that it would be nice if it came with a clip for easy storage in a briefcase, etc.

Works exam it should, but some of the design ideas are better in concept than in use... Functionality wise it does everything it should so o complaints there. But having the lightning connector on the end might seem like a good idea, when you charge it without the dongle (basically a lightning extension cord) you need to be very careful not to snap it off. And while being perfectly round from one end to another may feel good in your hand... it rolls right off every surface that’s not totally level..

It moves fluidly, charge lasts a while, and helps keeps the screen smudge free. It is pricy for a pencil but I'm hoping its capabilities will increase with the iOS update

This product is obviously aimed at heavy note takers and students. With that being said this is a great addition to the Apple line up. I bought this to use with my pro to lessen the amount of paper that I use on a daily basis. The feel of the stylus on the screen is different to traditional pen and paper. However it is still just as satisfying. Definitely recommend for anyone who takes notes on a daily basis.

I own a surface pro 4 and compared the Apple Pencil to that stylus and all I can say is wow! The pressure sensitivity is that of a real pencil. It felt great using. My two dislikes and hope for the next pencil are 1) better grip for the pencil and a clip and 2) the length of the pencil is a little awkward to hold and when sticking it in pockets. Last but not least maybe some different matte colors with different textures.

The pencil is so fun to use, and essential if you're going to use Procreate on your iPad. We have loved it so far, and we are just scratching the surface of what we can do with it. Photo editing is fun with it as well; you can write notes on photos in the app as well as other things. I can also see how handy taking notes with it would be for a student.

I like this Apple Pencil because it does charge fast. It also does feel like a real pencil. If you get an iPad Pro, you will want to buy it. Downside, the pencil is really expensive.
