Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought the pencil so I could sync my iPad to my laptop and use it as a drawing tablet for advanced programs that don't work on my iPad. I use the pen for working in Clip Studio Paint, Photoshop and Illustrator. It draws smoothly and the pressure sensitivity is accurate with the different tools and drawing utensils in each program. I've used a Wacom Cintiq tablet and the Apple Pencil is comparable to the Wacom Stylus.

I absolutely LOVE my Apple Pencil. I use it constantly to create designs for various art projects. It is also easily used as a general stylus. The battery life is really good. The only negative is that you have to change the tip after a certain length of time or it may damage the iPad screen. I have no idea when that is exactly. I wish there was some way for it to notify me when to change it. But overall, super awesome!

This “pencil” feels great and is very responsive on an iPad pro. It has a good weight and responds well to the pressure to the Pad. Price leaves room for improvement.

Bought this for my daughter to go with her new iPad. She wanted it for taking notes in school. I doubted that she’d actually use it, but she says that she uses it daily. The pencil, in conjunction with her iPad, allows her to be paper-free in class. Her notes stay organized, and she can study from anywhere. Definitely worth considering if you take any kind of notes on your Apple iPad.

Considered buying a lower priced handwriting stylus for the iPad Pro, but after testing the best reviewed ones, the Apple Pencil is way better than anything else. The palm-rejection works flawlessly and its truly precise. My handwriting looks like my handwriting on paper. Mainly using this for notes and basic graphics, but the few sketches I've done have been easy and precise. Highly recommended this product. It's worth the cost!

My son does graphic art on his iPad Pro and the work he's been able to produce using this pencil is beyond what I thought possible. It recharges extremely fast via the lightning connector and the variety of work he can do by simply changing angles or adjusting pressure is truly remarkable. In short, you can't fully utilize your Pro without this...... in fact, they should make it part of the package, even if they need adjust the price.

I recently purchased an iPad pro and I wasn't too sure about the apple pencil. After a month of back and forth decided to buy it and I am officially hooked. The pencil works great, battery lasts a long time - sometimes around 2 days. The design is very easy and comfortable to use. Best purchase ever. I will highly recommend it if you a planner/agenda type person or if you love taking notes and drawing.

Truly impressed with the Apple Pencil! It does take some getting used to, but it does replicate the use of a real pencil or pen. The pencil works exceptionally with the iPad Pro. I would recommend investing in a case/holder as it is easy to lose the pencil and it does contain small parts that could get lost (nibs, cap). Overall, if you are at all remotely interested in drawing or sketching on your iPad Pro, this is a must have!

A lot of people have been giving this pencil a lot of grief, because of the price. However, if you actually try and use the pencil you will find that it is extremely useful. I am by no means an artist, but I am someone who needs to take a lot of notes in my job...and it is very helpful to have the Apple Pencil. I also love to color and there are tons of coloring books, and it truly feels like you are coloring on paper!

I originally wasn't going to pay the $99 for the pen because I thought " who in their right mind would pay that much for a little pen/stylus " ?. Well after reading tons of reviews and reading what this magic pen does I decided to give it a shot and I'm glad I did. This is a great tool for taking notes and it literally feels like writing on paper, it's crazy. I know the price is a little much however its definitely worth it.

I use this pencil all the time, even just for browsing (instead of my finger). Sometimes swiping with it is a little tricky but in general, it's great for general iPad navigating. It's awesome for drawing apps. A couple of complaints: 1. It's annoying to charge… although the battery does lasts a while and the pencil can be charged in a phone so you can continue to use your iPad without the pencil awkwardly sticking out of it. 2. I'm afraid of losing the cap and I wish it came with a solution for that issue, or even an extra cap. 3. I wish you could turn the pencil around and use the cap end to erase in drawing apps.

Eventhough it's bit expensive for a "stylus" it's worth the money. iPad pro without stylus is basically a giant iPad mini. The battery life is decent and it works flawlessly. Only part I don't like is that when I plug in the pencil to my iPad, I'm terrified that I might snap it by mistake and break the most expensive pencil that I own. Its a great tool for students and people who do lot of dynamic presentations.

Purchased this product along with the new iPad that supports the Apple Pencil and have been using them ever since a got them. Didn't want to spend over a grand to get an iPad and pencil. Instead, about $600 paid for these great products that have been used daily since purchased. I’m a digital artist, so this is a must.

My wife & daughter really pushed me to get this Apple Pencil for my new iPad. Both use their pencils everyday. It writes smoothly & everyday I discover something new it can do. The battery is lasting a long time & it charges back up in minutes! Feels well made. Good weight & feel.

Easy to use and charges quickly. Holds a charge for a long time

The Apple Pencil allows you a very precise level of accuracy that your finger cannot come close to when you want to put your cursor at a specific point in a document. It makes moving your screen very easy and of course allows you to “write” on your screen with ease. After buying my pencil and letting my wife try it I had to purchase one for her. I thought NI you will feel the same way if you try it out.

The Apple pencil is the key to unlocking the true power of the iPad Pro whether it's the 12 or 9 inch size. Without it, the iPad is just an iPad. With it though, it has the precision to be able to truly use any electronic medical record at the bedside as well as transcribing the subtleties of force necessary to create true works of art. It's only downfall is the difficulty in keeping the cap and female to female lightning adapter.

I’m not an artist but I found the Apple Pencil to be very useful. First thing the pencil was easy to setup and use. For drawing the pencil felt like a normal lead pencil. The App Store has several drawing apps I preferred Procreate this program has a wide range of brushes and you can download other free brushes. This program brought out the best features of the Apple Pencil. I would recommend the Apple Pencil.

It is a bit bulky an bit bland. My biggestest issue was a tiny connector piece was missing . this is used for charging.i eally feel like they should have honoed it and replaced it. This is not going to be a piece I can grab just anywhere... So I am wuite disappointed. But moving forward I do love the pencil. It is said that it is the only one that works with the Pro.... Not true but still excellent.bland and heavy but easy to find

The grip is slick and it gets dirty easily, which I remedied by buying a silicone sleeve for it. The charging/syncing process is a little awkward but not a deal breaker and I'm sure it will be improved upon in future models. Other than that, the precision is pen-point fine and it is by far the best stylus available. I originally balked at paying $100 for a 'stylus,' but the money I've wasted on other brands in just a year since buying my IPad Pro exceeds that (plus the headaches and frustrations I've had from the inaccuracy and lack of quality of the others). I should've just bought this to begin with.
