The Apple pencil is awesome, I highly recommend to get it for those who like taking notes on their tablets, or those are artists and use the pen for sketches. It is expensive, but I believe it’s a great investment if you use it often. I really really really suggest that you get a matte screen protector/ Paperlike screen protector to make your handwriting and sketches look pristine. Using the Apple pencil on this screen protector makes it feel like you are really writing on paper and makes things 10 x better. I got a case with a silicon grip for the pencil, which makes writing a lot easier/ controlled too.
I think it’s great for students especially those who take notes on powerpoints/ diagrams/ graphs. There are so many great apps that pair well with the Apple pencil that take note-taking to the next level.

The Apple pencil is a good stylus that you can use with your Ipad when you are taking notes for class or whatever you do. The battery life is pretty good with about 12 hours and the pencil has a natural feel to it whenever you are using it and connecting the pencil to your device is extremely easy.

I bought this shortly after I got my iPad, and I must say - this thing is a game changer. I use it for digital journaling and for a drawing app. My kids use it for coloring apps. It works for so many things, and it moves and works so flawlessly. There is no lag, and the pressure-sensitive mechanism is perfect. This is a MUST HAVE!

Last xmas we got and Ipad 6th Gen, which supports this apple pencil... and If you are into art and drawing, this is a MUST tool to have, Its very precise and it feels great to the hand. The battery lasts enough for a day and when you need to charge it again, you can just plug it into the Ipad itself so you can keep doodling..

I’m a huge fan of Apple products and have been nothing but 100% please with the Apple Pencil. I can’t imagine using my iPad Pro without it. Charges quickly and charge lasts a good amount of time as well. My only drawback is the cap is not attached and easily lost. Remedied with replacement cap from Amazon tethered to the pencil.

I wanted to try digital art so I saved up and got an open box apple pencil. It looked like it had never been used before. I really love it. It charges quickly and works really well. I love that it works like a real pencil so I can shade and practice calligraphy.

I have had a bamboo fineline stylus for my old I-Pad did not work this great. The apple pencil interfaces with everything and writes very well. I like that I can take handwritten notes on my IPad and that I don't have to zoom in to write. No glitches and the charging capability is great and pairing is a cinch. I have no complaints and I am very happy with my purchase.

I love my first generation Apple Pencil . It is fast and very accurate. The lines, shadings go exactly where you put them with a very accurate line boldness control based on applied pressure of the pencil.
It is easy and fast to charge with a long battery life between charges. What’s not to like !

I got this as a gift for a family member who is very artistic and loves to draw. She has really enjoyed using this with her new iPad Pro 9.7. It's very cool how well it works on the screen, and also how fast it charges. If you haven't played with one before, check it out in the store. For someone who loves to draw and has an iPad Pro, this is a great addition.

It's a very handy little tool for notetaking and overall creativity. Pairing is effortless with the iPad, where you can also see the battery life of the device and charge via the Lightning port. The Pencil is really precise and efficient for everyday tasks. It's one of the best styluses available in the market.

This is amazing. Very sensitive and solid. It charges really fast. I love using it. When I first opened the package, I accidentally dropped it. The tip vent a little. Even after changing the tip to a new one, that part of the pencil is forever bent. Still, very functional.

Best stylus ever on any mobile device

I have tried every stylus ou there and sold them all on eBay. I have tried to use the stylus on the Microsoft surface pro 4 and it is alright but lacking a solid and comfortable feel.
This stylus in combination with a solid app like Procreate or Sketchbook pro or Sketch Club will be just the right tool for all of your digital drawings.
I am not a big fan of writing down notes and this does not work as well for note taking. It makes a lot of noise when you write on the iPad as it taps the screen. This is not so easy to detect when in the Best Buy store or in the Apple Store, but in a quiet classroom setting or meeting type setting it is really noticeable. It does work great with an app like Notability for writing though if you are not concerned with the noise.
Yeah yeah, there is no pen holder on the iPad, but most caring cases and backpacks have a slot for pens and pencils so that should not be much of an issue. Plus it also magnetically stays put on the edge of the smart case where the magnet is.
The only cons are: I am scared that I will eventually lose the charger cap and the charger adapter that allows you to plug in to your phone charger instead of plugging in to the iPad itself. There is a fear of breaking that little charger end off when plugged in to the iPad because it seems so delicate.

Not sure why it’s so expensive? It doesn’t seem to work any different then my stylus? Yes the tip is different and it doesn’t stick. The screen quickly response to it as it should since it’s made for it. Wish it showed the battery percentage before it was low. Maybe it does I just haven’t looked yet? All and all seems pricey for what it does but that’s just me? Also wish they had more rugged silicone rubber material cases with stylus storage. I’ve only found a few. For iPad Pro and all other tablets.

This is my first experience with the Apple Pencil paired with an iPad Pro 10.5. The pairing process was easy, and the device charges from the Lightning port on the iPad. The pencil has a lot of options available and is remarkably user friendly. The only thing I'd add is some type of clip so you can easily secure it in a briefcase, etc.

I have tried a variety of styli on my tablets (and phones), but never used them a lot, due to lag and no ability to use the pressure functions. Wheen I upgraded to the iPad Pro 9.7, I really wanted to have finer control; enter the Apple Pencil.
The results are great; the price isn't. I am still exploring with it, but love the results, especially in Adobe Sketch.

Purchase the Apple Pencil with the idea of drawing house plans and various blueprints. Was surprised at the accuracy and ease of connecting to my iPad. I decided to purchase a drawing app. WOW. blown away with pictures and shading I was able to produce with an electronic pencil. Well worth it for drawing and note taking.

Makes writing notes and surfing through the web very easy. The coloring and design apps in combination with the pencil give the iPad a very creative experience. Combine the pencil with a keyboard to your iPad and you'll never need a labtop ever again. The pencil holds a pretty long charge. I've gone at least 5 hrs of straight use before needing to recharge it.

I bought my first IPad for school & knew I had to get a pen too. The delivery was 2 days early & delivered by hand from the Geek Squad.
The pen itself was in perfect condition. Charge lasts forever, takes no time to charge, and works amazingly on my IPad. I wouldn't buy from anyone else!
