    The precision of the Pencil is the best I've used with any stylus on an iPad. It's pricey but if you will be using it significantly then it's totally worth it.

    The main point of buying the IPAD pro is to have the ability to use the pen so if you are buying the PRO, it is a no brainer! Works amazing well with zero lag!!

    I like the pencil because, when I'm drawing, or.. wanna write something, it's easier. Drawing, it helps me by a ton,, it helps me make my line-art straighter than it would be if I where to Use my finger. XD, honestly. Hmm... And, my writing is neater, at least.... I think so? I honestly don't know, Lol. But.. it annoys me how the end and the tip of the apple pencil Comes off, it is what it is tho. That's all I got I'm pretty sure! :) Bye-bye.

    I thought the pencil was like a normal stylus but it is way better than that it is much more accurate and easy to use. Keeps a charge for a long time.

    The perfect match for the I-pad pro......

    I purchased the Apple pencil for use with my I-pad pro, the pencil is an excellent writting tool and is very sensitive to the touch used while writing notes or drawing on your i-pad. Just by changing the amount of force or the angle of attack you are using while writing you can vary the thickness and darkness of your stroke. this is the first time that I have owned a writing tool of this nature and I am very pleased with the way it performs. I would definately recommend this pencil to anyone in the market to add a personal touch to their documents.

    My 11 year old aspiring animator loves it so far. I hear it's more precise and responsive than the typically much cheaper stylus pens. Thumbs up

    It doesn't have the magnetic ability as the next gen Pencil, but it works well with the non-pro iPad products. Feel is natural, and is a must have accessory for anyone with an iPad.

    I was hesitant to buy this at first as I am not an artist or someone who does much with graphic arts, but decided I wanted to try it on a work trip to help take notes when I was not using the keypad. I am really happy I did. It allowed me to draw graphics [very rudimentary due to skills :-) ] within my notes and other handwritten notations. It has also been helpful in keeping my screen free of fingerprints for a longer time. It charges very quickly by way of connecting direct to the iPad or through a provided adaptor to a lightning charging cord.

    I've used a number of 3rd party stylus/pen combos and I thought they were adequate tor using on an iPad tablet. I upgraded from a Mini tablet to a new 9.7 and bought the Apple Pencil at the same time. Wow, is it sweet! The hard nib glides across the screen instead of dragging a rubber tip that is slow and cumbersome. The Apple Pencil is precise and makes taking notes or signing documents a breeze. Two minor negatives- the hard tip clicks on the screen and you have to look on the widgets screen to see how much power the pencil has left.
