The Apple Pencil is the best stylus there is.There is no lag,it functions as if you are using a real pencil. Through the iPad it will let you know when it has only a 5% charge left. Put to charge for a short time and you can get up to 30 mins of work time out of it. A must have if your an artist.

The Apple pencil really is a must have accessory for your IPad Pro if you are an artist or aspiring to be one. It is by the most accurate and natural feeling stylus I have had the pleasure to use. Highly recommend getting procreate as well from the app store to use this to it's full potential.

Bought this after purchasing a less expensive off brand pen. The Apple pen was so much better at writing and drawing fine lines. No comparison. Should have bought it in the first place! Works perfectly with our iPad for work on building plans and fine details on blue prints.

Love it! The capability with the app I am using is fantastic. I love using it instead of my finger because it’s like I’m writing on a real notepad. I recommend to any artist or anyone who is going through school. It is very useful.

It is much better than expected. Easy to use, super fast in my iPad. Make me select options in the iPad that wasn’t that easy with my finger due the size but with the Pencil is really easy. I am still exploring all I can do with it but so far exceeded my expectations!

Well, this is a great addition for the latest 9.7 inch iPad. For those that have no use for an iPad Pro can now get the latest 9.7 inch iPad and be able to use the Apple Pencil. We love the pencil for most apps we use.

This was an absolutely great investment and I've used it continuously from the day I bought this in store. It writes and draws smoothly on the surface of my Ipad Pro and holds quite a charge. If you're an artist or love taking notes and you own an Ipad or Ipad Pro, this item is a must bu.

The pencil is very well-balanced and easy to hold. Between this pencil and the pen that I use with my Surface Book at work, I much prefer the pencil. It has worked so far with every app I've tried, whether it be for selecting icons and menus or for handwriting in OneNote or Nebo. Highly recommended.

I thought it was going to be like the other tablet markers where the end was still causing a huge fat line and it was hard to maneuver. With the look and feel of a pencil it does work and feel so different and for the better. It has many user functions besides working in note apps.

Darn near perfect

When paired with the new iPad Pro, this is near perfect for drawing and interacting with the iPad. No pairing, no buttons. It just works. And there is almost no lag.
The only thing I wish it has was the ability to act as an eraser when you turn it over (like a real pencil). But I can live with that.
And the battery life is pretty good too. I charge it via the iPad and it charged quick and after a week is still nearly full.

I bought this for my 13 year old daughter for her birthday- she is an artist. Wanted her to use this with iPad to supplement the drawing tablet she uses for her MacBook Air. This works great for her- only drawback is I never get to use my iPad any more. Hopefully she won't ask me to buy that next for her.

I've tried out numerous cheaper styluses and none of them rival the precision of the Apple Pencil. It has been a game changer for me and my illustrations on my new iPad. Also super nice that you can plug it into the iPad and get a quick charge in 15 seconds on the go. Great design.

After using this for quite some time, I can say that the precision and ergonomics of this stylus is better than any other 3rd party. For something that I use regularly, I feel that it is really worth the premium.

I didn't really need the Apple Pencil but if I'm getting the iPad Pro I had to get the accessory. If you're into drawing/sketching then this is for you. Really neat especially with application the App Store has to offer for the Apple Pencil. The charging concept is pretty silly but it does charge really quick. If your getting this simply just to jot down notes, just get yourself a $10 stylist and save the $90 bucks. Great product if you like to draw.

I'm still getting used to using the pen but it works great with a variety of apps. I love being able to take quick notes on the go using the pencil. As a graphic designer, I use the Pencil for client mockups or illustrations in my designs.

I bought this 1st gen Apple Pencil to go along with my new 128gb non-pro iPad (only pro models work with 2nd gen pencils) and it works great. It was easy to set up and the battery lasts a long time. I use it a couple times a day in meetings at work during the week and have only charged it right when I bought it almost a month ago. The only very minor thing that bothers me is the cap that covers the charging plug. It’s magnetic, and although I haven’t lost it yet, I could see it coming off in my backpack and probably falling out if I don’t notice it right away. There are 3rd party products you can buy on Amazon that will tether the cap to the pencil to keep them together, but I haven’t bought one yet. And with the 2nd gen pencil being out, these 1st gen pencils are a great cheaper option whether you have the pro or non-pro models of iPad.

I love my Apple pencil that I bought at Best Buy. And even better, it was on sale! It works great with my new iPad and holds the charge for a long time, plus it charges really quickly when it runs out of power. I am very happy with my purchase.
