The IPad Pencil is pretty nifty and lives up to its hype. I gave the IPad Pro and IPad Pencil to my niece and she is having so much fun with the drawing programs. She says it charges quickly, keeps its charge well, and works great. I would recommend it for artists and students. Good gift idea.

Very useful and I use this the most with MS OneNote. For charging, it can be connected directly to the iPad or an adapter is provided so that you can charge the pencil with the iPad/iPhone charger. While a bit pricey, its high quality as you’d expect from an Apple product.

Apple Pencil is a must have for anyone with an iPad Pro. It allows easy writing if you like taking notes by hand, and is great for the digital artist. Virtually no lag when writing or drawing. The one thing I wish is that Apple designed the iPad or case with a slot to store the Pencil. Otherwise, it's great.

It's a great pencil/stylus as it should be for the price, but it seems like Apple has lost some of their design sense. The cap for the charging end is very small and prone to rolling, and being misplaced easily. It does come with a female to female daptor for using a lightning plug charger/cord, but the adaptor should have been designed to at least store on the top of the pencil, under the cap. Their intended design of quick charging, by inserting the stylus into the Lightning charger port on the iPad Pro is ridiculous and an accident waiting to happen. Don't plan on using the iPad while charging the stylus this way. I've also read that if you have a removable clip on a regular mechanical pencil, it would be a good idea to cannibalize it for the iPad pencil to keep it from rolling off the desk, etc.
Apple should have submitted prototypes to actual users, prior to finalizing the design for production.

I love the Apple Pencil because it allows me to sign document and return them ASAP, even when I’m not near a computer I can still use the pencil to sign pdf files from my iPad. Being in the Military your always on the go but this allows me to sign and return what I need, again this is a great product.

I would say this is absolutely necessary if you're going to be writing or drawing on the iPad. It works great for those purposes. I wish it had the eraser functionality that my Surface stylus has though. And it'd be nice if the cap attached, because that's definitely going to get lost. Otherwise, must buy.

Perfect shape, weight, and balance, making it an ease to hold and use. Comes with separate charging adapter to charge pencil, but not charger itself. Long battery life. Can also be attached to iPad to charge. If in a jiff, it takes only 15 or so seconds to charge via directly from iPad for extra 30 minutes of life.

I was and am continued to be surprised by how accurate and natural the Apple Pencil performs and feels. The quality is felt in the weight of the Apple Pencil, which is much heavier than your normal stylus, and makes writing with feel much more natural. Grab an app like Notability and ditch your old pen and notepad!

I really enjoy the Apple Pencil. I’m using it more than I thought I would. And as I add more apps I’m finding I’m using it more. It only takes a few minutes to charge it, and you do that right on the iPad. Great addition to the iPad.

You first remove the cap of this pen and insert it into your iPad or iPhone so it detects the Bluetooth device, it can also charge the same way. After that you can use any program that requires a pen easily, it is accurate and pressure sensitive as well. I am very happy with this purchase.

At first I was apprehensive about spending a $100 on a pen, but wow!!!! I am a note taker, but always lose my papers. This pen allows me to keep my written notes digital. Also a great tool to navigate with, I’m a real estate agent and it’s wonderful
For signatures and map pointing.
Really enjoying using it.

Just like a smooth solid pencil, only heavier
Sketching and writing with it is very smooth and fluid on the iPad Pro
there is no lag nor jittery lines
Only thing is if the charging port was place the other way around instead so there would being no need for a charging lightning adapter

This is a great tool for the iPad Pro. Does it all. Great for diagramming, drawing, E-painting, stylus etc. Just great to have it available when you are using the pro. I guess this is why it sells out as soon as it gets to the store. Holds a good charge and gets a very quick emergency charge from the lightning adapter on the pro.

This was a gift for my granddaughter to go with her new iPad. She was very pleased with this Apple Pencil. Having tried other brand styluses, there is just no comparison with this one. Holds its charge and works very well on the iPad. She could not have been happier.

I like the Apple Pencil and find that I am using it a lot with my new iPad Pro. The free drawing apps out there are great and using it for regular tasks is nice as well. Pencil has good weight and feel to it. My only suggestion would be maybe just a little grip section since it is very click surface.

Far more than an expensive stylus. The pencil is a powerful tool for art, design, and general productivity with precision that fingers simply can’t match. I was particularly impressed with recognition of handwritten notes and it’s ability to react to varying levels of pressure accordingly.

The IPad Pro makes the Apple Pen ! And the pen makes the IP Pro ! No matter how you look at it these two were made for each other ! If you are creative in writing or photo & video editing and mixing music or sound effects this pen is like a magic wand and it comes to life in your hand a must have accessory!
Thanks

During our new normal of virtual learning, having the Apple Pencil allowed for precise writing and the ease of quickly using a choice of fonts and colors. I enjoyed the ease and quickness when modeling step by step examples for my students. Great Tool!

I use my Apple Pencil more than I expected with my iPad. I'm using it particularly more in meetings at work. I'm gradually reducing my need for paper notes and those traditional small 3 ring binder organizers. The battery life is great and precision is excellent. I'm glad I purchased the Apple Pencil for my iPad Pro.
