Customers are saying

Customers regard the product highly for its exceptional ease of use, strong overall performance, and efficient charging capabilities. Its excellent compatibility with the iPad, good battery life, and accuracy for tasks like drawing and note-taking are also frequently highlighted. However, the price is a significant concern for many, and some users have reported issues with the tip's durability and connection. While lag is generally not a problem, a few customers find its size to be a drawback.

    If you have an iPad that can use the 2nd generation Apple pencil, just buy it. No, it's not exactly like writing on paper, but with a bit of practice and the right app, you will realize it's actually better. You can write in multiple places and applications and your handwriting will turn into words. You can also do quick drawings, like the proverbial back of the napkin illustration, to keep and to share. If the price is a concern, consider the productivity you will get and watch for sales, I bought mine on sale.

    Very responsive. Feels like a normal pencil. Very precise, sleek, and worth every penny. It easily charges on the iPad and when disengaged,

    I swore to myself I wasn’t going to get one of these and surely enough…I lied. I honestly love it so much and I can see why so many people recommended it. I use it mostly for creating things on canva but it makes my life so much easier instead of using my fingers lol

    The Apple Pencil is an easy to use stylus for iPad users. Easy to set up and pair, charges when you attach it to the iPad making it ready to go anytime. If you’ve been wanting one, then recommend. Great functionality and ease of use.

    I bought this to use with the latest iPad Air model that now supports the latest Pencil. It connected right away when attached to the side where it charges and attaches magnetically The magnetic attachment is fairly strong and I'm not afraid of it accidentally falling off. The battery life of the pencil is very good and there are many drawing and coloring apps that recognize and support it. One thing I was not expecting is that the Pencil tip is very hard, so when using it for drawing, the surface provides almost no resistance; it definitely feels like you're drawing on glass. Lastly, I'll mention that the size and weight of the pencil feels very good in the hand.

    I used this for a few weeks by itself on just the plain iPad Air screen. It works reasonably well and gives some great new ways to use your iPad. But I recently purchased a PaperLike screen protector and now it is an AWESOME experience! Feels pretty much like writing or drawing on paper which gives you more precision and honestly just feels better (it’s less slick). It’s been great for taking notes and drawing some quick sketches of the software I’m designing, so I feel like I get a lot of use out of it, even though I’m not an artist. I also love how it magnetically attaches to the iPad and charges. I know people complained about having to plug in the first one.

    This pencil makes drawing on the iPad a breeze with smooth strokes, great size, comfortable grip, and smart functionality for drawing. And the charging is much better than the 1st gen.

    An awesome accessory for iPad Pro’s 11” and up!

    I have been waiting on buying a Apple Pencil because I thought that it would just be a waste of money, but after my 9.5 pro was damaged I had to upgrade to the 11” pro. While waiting to make my purchase I got a chance to “play” with the new Apple Pencil and I was amazed at what it could do. It is very intuitive to start using right out of the box. It replaces my regular stylus and adds the ability to draw, take written notes, color pictures, add signatures to documents via your fill in programs like Adobe, and so much more. It is recharged off of the iPad itself and it recharges fast. Best Buy also priced match the Pencil which made it an affordable gift to myself. I am looking forward to seeing what else I can do with this awesome tool.

    Slick design, ability to use both ends is a plus, clipping the pen to iPad is better than inserting like Samsung. It would nice, however, if price is not as expensive.

    I bought the Apple Pencil 2 for my new 11" iPad Pro. I must say it's even better than the original Apple Pencil that I have been using before I bought this one. Whether you write, draw, sketch - it's seamless, super-responsive and zero-lag performance on the iPad is amazing. I know Apple products are great, but man, this is just fantastic. I also like the flat base that directly charges with the iPad Pro - so convenient. No need to dangle it from the USB-C port like the previous generation pencils. Overall, this was a great buy!
