Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had bought a generic stylus pen for my iPad Pro but it wasn’t working well so I decided to buy the real Apple pen for 129. It is an amazing pen and works exceptionally well especially for drawing. It charges itself on the side of the iPad. I really love the pen, I knocked the value down to 4 stars as I thought it was too expensive.

I loved the first gen Apple Pencil but this one is way better. The slimmer more flat design makes it more comfortable to grin causing a more natural writing style for me. It’s faster with less lag between moving the pen and drawing. And the best feature is the magnetic charging. It was an inconvenience when I needed to charge my iPad and pencil at the same time.

What can I say, its a digital pencil. Great for taking notes, and as a student coming from using pen+paper all the time, it did NOT feel like a compromise to take notes on the iPad — in fact I prefer a little bit of the gliding because it helps me to write a bit faster lol. Probably shouldn’t cost this much, but I’m still happy with it.

PROS Battery: The battery on this pencil has never been a concern. I have never worried about the battery, it lasts super long! Responsiveness: The pencil is extremely responsive on the iPad's screen. It feels great, and I absolutely love it for taking notes! Accuracy: It works as you would expect a real pencil too, 100% of the time. It's perfect! CONS: Ease of holding: After a while of using it, it can feel uncomfortable to hold. Feel of writing: The feel of the plastic tip on the screen does not feel great. It is a little too slippery for my liking. So I bought the ESR (2-Pack) Paper-Feel Screen Protector for iPad Pro 12.9 2021 & 2020 & 2018 [Supports Pencil] [Write & Draw Like on Paper] Anti-Glare Matte PET Film for iPad Pro 12.9-Inch 2021 & 2020 (Not Glass) SUMMARY: It's great! I love it as a stylist, taking notes and drawing! Absolutely worth the money!

You don’t need to buy an Apple keyboard to use with your iPad Air or Pro or Mini. In fact, I personally prefer a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard for that. But the accessory you truly need to unlock your iPad is an Apple Pencil. Yes, it’s outlandishly expensive. But if you compare using this with a Logitech Crayon or, worse, an off-brand stylus, you may find yourself asking why you didn’t just shell out for the real deal. It’s absolutely a must if you plan to do any kind of art, and the tap “button” makes it easy to program a secondary function like an eraser without constantly having to switch tools. And the coolest feature: the magnetic charger that just satisfyingly snaps the pencil to the side of the iPad and connects and charges it quickly. The best.

Very pleased with my purchase. I understand the price point may be deterring but rest knowing that you get what you pay for and you are paying for beautiful quality! Sleek design makes for effortless use.

The Apple Pencil is one of the most interesting accessories your iPad can use. Whether for drawing, taking notes, or simply to use it in applications that need greater precision, it is very useful.

This is similar to the first generation Apple Pencil I have in terms of quality and application. The design changes on this one include a single flat side and magnetic capabilities. Also a “tap” function that allows for switching modes. As an example, from writing tool to eraser. This can be set in the preferences.

This Apple Pencil integrate with my iPad Pro beautifully. No loss of connection and no lagging. It is invaluable tool with my iPad Pro as a trainer on the road.

Yes, it's expensive, but it's an expense I'm glad I made. I liked the prices of other pencils for the iPad, but I didn't like their charging methods. This product was made for Apple by Apple, so integration and ease of use is superb. I mainly use the pencil for note taking or drawing in ProCreate.

At first I was very skeptical about making this purchase because of the price but it is easily one of the best purchases I made in 2020. It is great quality, supper easy to connect and use and it charges supper easy and fast. A definite must have you you are an avid drawer or creat on an iPad. Makes my job so much easier.

I love them so accurate when it comes to drawing on the ipad

I got this apple pencil to go with my pro 12.9 and could not be more pleased. So much better than first generation because it charges by being magnetically paired with the ipad. You don't have to plug anything in and it charges fast. Some people say that it is not the same as pencil and paper and that it is noisy. I don't find that at all. I love the feel and find it better than traditional ways of taking notes or filling forms. I hardly ever use paper anymore and when I have to, it feels unnatural! I would much rather use my ipad and apple pencil! I had a Samsung before and it is no comparison to the ipad in my opinion! The ipad is the real deal. I find it well worth the extra cost when you look at the whole picture. The combination of the ipad and this pencil are a dream come true for a college student who takes a lot of notes. Now they are electronically saved and I know exactly where to find them when it comes time to study for the CPA exam! I highly recommend! It only comes with one tip, but I have not had to replace it after two months of heavy use.

Pencil works great with the iPad, and if you don't have one, WHY? The double tap between pencil and eraser mode for note taking is a little weird at first, but then you learn how to hold the pencil so you dont mistakenly switch between. I would not go as far as saying the pen is "comfortable," but it is a HUGE improvement over the 1st generation. I have yet to find a "Comfortable" and "Productive" stylus. Hint Hint Nudge Nudge to any company that produces these reading this. Overall the Apple Pencil turns your iPad into a serious work horse machine as far as taking notes and drawing diagrams. If you take a lot of notes, you probably want to consider the larger iPad over the smaller. Battery life on the Pencil and iPad 12.9 is the reason of choice over other competing products.

Be careful! It can easily be lost, bought for my kid to use on the ipad, works great! charges fast

I wasn't sure I'd like the Apple Pencil when I got it, but I figured it'd try it out. I started liking it right away, however. It's got some nice weight to it, so it feels good in your hand. I'm still getting used to it, but I've already started using it to markup manuscripts I'm editing. I've signed PDF documents using it, too, and it worked like a charm. It's never going to match the feel of a pen scratching across paper, but this is pretty much as close to it as I ever expected I'd get. It's precise and smooth flowing, which makes the lines produced on the screen look as I'd expect them to if I were writing with a pen. I'm happy with the Apple Pencil, and I'm looking forward to using it in more ways.

I love my pen for my iPad! I can get my work stuff done on my iPad, instead using my fingers. Charges fast and never dies on me.

The Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) is such a fun tool to use with my iPad Pro (2020)! It magnetically connects and charges on the iPad, so it’s always ready to go when I need it. It doesn’t “skip” or lag when drawing or writing, which some less expensive off-brand names will sometimes do. It was definitely worth the investment!

Easy to use and charges up well. Good for the price.

I was skeptical before i bought this, i have read so many bad and good reviews i was actually confused on what to believe.. In my opinion it was well worth the money. It's so easy to use, easy to set up, charges by magnetically connecting to your ipad so you don't have to carry around an extra charger and since it magnetically connects to your ipad it stays put so i wont lose where i put it. I use the pencil for taking notes and for those coloring apps. I love how when your writing and you need to erase something you can just double tap the pencil to change it to the eraser, just makes things a little quicker. I could go on and on about how this pencil works amazing for me. And i would say if your on the fence between this one or a knock off version i would spend the money on this product. I only use the pencil for basic things, however just on those basic things this pencil has been worth every penny. I am sure it can do so much more than what i am actually using it for but that being said the basic usage of this pencil as far exceeded every bad review i previously read before purchasing this product.
