    Although it worked well, it was just an okay Apple pencil as compared with the price.

    I originally planned to NOT buy the apple pencil, but my case had a space for it and it seemed strange to not have that filled... that was a bad reason to buy this device. It works well, but has very limited use. Perhaps if I were intending to use my iPad for art, it would be more useful. However, I find it much easier to use the keyboard I purchased for making notes.

    Occasionally this product does not work well with selecting items the first time. Hopefully, future updates will solve this interaction issue.

    Works really well, Impressive tech but the end is a bit fragile. If you buy make sure to take care not to bonk the end.

    Using the pen feels natural, like writing on paper. Tapping to switch functions takes some getting used to, but overall it seems to work well.

    It is just a pencil. The functions are not very user friendly or maybe I am doing it wrong. I personally don't think this purchase was worth the money. I however love the keyboard I purchased.

    The Apple pen is limited in use since I can’t write notes with it except in certain applications. However, it’s great for artwork.

    Had to return this one because it wasn’t compatible with my iPad. I would suggest double checking this before buying.

    Way to expensive for a glorified stylus. It works well and the build is good, but honestly, the price (as with most Apple products) is way out of line with the actual intrinsic value of it.

    Apple got it right with the generation 2 Apple Pencil! I don’t experience the double taps when using it to type like I did the first generation. This pencil came pretty fully charged and ready to go.

    Best at what it does but still not the same as pencil to paper. But it does come pretty darn close. Really a great tool.
