    Works like a charm with the iPad Pro. With the 10.5 inch, no lag and feels great in the hand. Highly recommended if you want to move from notebooks to taking notes on the iPad. Great purchase and would highly recommend.

    Easy to use and charges easily. Careful, don’t lose the cap for the lightning plug in, though.

    Or a paint brush. Or a calligraphy pen. Or a crayon. No matter what it just feels right especially on the iPad Pro. Wife uses it for design and when she uses any other digital pen it can't compare.

    Happy with this purchase. I have a the second generation iPad Pro and this was the pencil made for that series. With that said, it has been easy to use with procreate and along with other apps.

    I bought the Apple pen to keep notes at meetings . I reviewed different software and downloaded the one I wanted and the Apple pen works flawlessly with it. Easy to change tips , to charge and to pair with the IPad.

    I don't like the fact that the cap can come off easily. Also, sometimes I have to plug it into my iPad to re-pair it with the iPad to use. I do like the fact that it charges very, very rapidly. It can fully charge in about 20 minutes or so. I also wish it came in other colors.

    I picked up the new iPad Pro (smaller one) and then learned that i can use the Apple Pencil with it. Jumped online and best price with fastest way to get it in my hand was Best Buy! Went to the store and did the buy online, pick up in store option, did it around Christmas time and the regular check out lines were crazy long. I ended up in and out in no time. The pencil is great, it feels comfortable in your hand when using it, and syncs up extremely easy, ya just plug it into your iPad Pro with the lighting connector that's on the end were a eraser would go, and booom your synced. You can also us this connection method to charge the pencil. It comes with a double female lighting connector, plug pencil into it and the other end you can plug your iPad Pro charger lighting cable. You charge the pencil just like you would your iPad, iPhone. No real sure on how long the battery life is, I haven't used it long enough to give honest opinion. It's nice to have and I'm sure there will be a time when I glad I have it, I just haven't run into that situation yet. The iPad case I have has a pencil holder built into it, if you decide to buy the pencil get a iPad case that will hold it.

    Works great, but doesn’t hold a charge for long when just sitting around, maybe for a day or two. However, it does charge really quickly, so not much of a problem. If you’re an artist and will actually use this often, then I recommend it. Otherwise, it will collect dust, like mine, and you’ll be wishing you had the $99.

    It lasts a lot and charged very fast. I wish I could’ve waited for the other gen so I can take advantage of the magnet. Other than that, highly recommend.

    Definitely worth using the apple stylus with any apple product. Incredibly intuitive and accurate. Easy to setup and use, very articulate when it needs to be.

    Love the accuracy on this device. feels more like a real pen/pencil. wish there was another way to charge so the pen doesn't stick straight out of the iPad but other than that, i highly recommend this!

    Dumb design, but it works

    My recommendation is to buy a charging dock so you can charge your iPad at the same time as the Pencil. Otherwise you have to stick the pencil in the lightning port, a shaky proposition that seems like it's just waiting for the iPad to get bumped, fall and break everything. It's slick too - unlike a fine writing instrument that has gel or molds to your hand, it's extremely slippery like Apple loves. So it slides or rolls off everything, cracking the crappy lighting cap, denting the pencil and messing with the tip. Oh, and the tip will probably come unscrewed a bit, causing the pencil to stop working. Easy to tighten down, but why did it do that in the first place? So, three stars for dumb design. It works great, but charging and keeping it from falling somewhere for the thing is a pain !

    We love it, it works perfectly, but I do think it's overpriced. However, I'm too scared to use cheaper products, because I've heard of bad experiences others have had. So I go with the original. It works great!! Just wish they would bring the price down.

    I finally bought into the Apple Pencil after a year of telling my self it wasn't worth it. I'm not a drawer and I use it all the time. It's light to touch, connects super easy and charges super fast. It was worth it.

    A must have for all the compatible ipads. If you like sketching or are an artist, musician or kid, this is a necessity. Throw away the paper sketch pad and eraser because this pencil with the ipad + a good app is all you need!

    The pencil really compliments the iPad Pro. It is very responsive and last for a long period of time on a single charge. Still finding more things to do with it since I haven’t had it very long but so far, so good.
