    My husband wanted to try a different approach to his sketches- so instead of paper and pencil- we bought the ipad pro and apple pencil. He LOVES it. He can get different degrees of shading with it. No lag. Quick charges. Very happy with this.

    There's no lag at all on this pen, I thought that there would be. I was pleasantly surprised. It moves along the iPad surface with no interruption. I would recommend this product to anybody.

    The appple pencil is one thing I didn't know I needed until I got one. It's light, the battery lasts forever on a single charge and makes task easier and fun. The charger attachment is small and easy to lose so keep in a safe place.

    It's an expensive accessory but all the reviews I looked up said Apple Pencil works best for art apps and drawing on iPad. I have not been disappointed. I've had it a few months now and it's worked fine with anything, writing and drawing or just using as a stylus. Keep in mind some apps work better with Pencil, so the best performance is with Apps that were made to work with Pencil. The battery does not take long to charge and does not seem to deplete super fast when sitting idle. I notice that if I leave Bluetooth turned on (on the iPad) the Pencil will automatically connect when it's nearby, ready to go (after the initial pairing in Bluetooth settings).

    Best drawing tablet and pen period. Nothing compares to quality, accuracy, feel, ease of use, you name it;; this product out shines all other drawing tablets hands down (used them all including the high-end way more expensive).

    Bought the Apple Pencil for my wife to use with my iPad Pro 9.7". She is into photo editing and sketching, so the pencil was a perfect fit. It's incredible how accurate the device is and how it almost feels like drawing/painting/sketching/etc.

    Apple Pencil for Drawing

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Apple Pencil has a great weight and the material feels good while using for long periods of time. I did replace the cap of the Pencil with a rubber/silicon end one because I tap my screen and I feel that it is safer. And second because during a charging session my dog bit the cap and it didn't fit right anymore. Still over priced but that's apple.

    If you own an iPad that supports the pencil I would strongly suggest getting the pencil. It is extremely easy to use, and does a lot of really cool things (drawing and note taking is what I use it for). The only issue is that like most Apple products it is kind of pricey (I bought an open box version to cut the price down.

    This is the best tool I have come across for drawing, sketching and interfacing with a screen. It is natural, and just works. Charge life it very good and can be charged from the iPad. Try one, really try one and you will have to have it.

    The pencil worked as expected and better. I would like to suggest researching since not all generations can work with all ipads. Provides extended user options compared to the touch screen. The pencil grips just like a real pencil. We tried off-brand to manage after we bought 2nd generation, and it was incompatible with the iPad purchased. This 1st generation unlocked a lot of futures we could not use with the off-brand.

    Having the apple pencil has been amazing. It is amazingly sensitive but responsive. The charging and pairing system is a bit odd, be careful not to snap your pencil. Otherwise a useful and great tool.

    We bought my son an iPad and I decided to add on the pencil. It’s costly but I guessed that he would enjoy drawing with it, and he does! Totally worth the money. It’s a little clunky but works easily. Apple is releasing a newer version soon (if they haven’t already) so I would say don’t get this one, get the newer model.

    Apple makes a great sylus but always at a pretty steep price. Will say it has a good weight quality and glides across sceen with ease and therefore makes the price point easier to swallow.
