    This lightweight little pencil now can hover over my iPad display while drawing. Snappy and lightweight. I am using 3rd party tips to give it a more pencil like feel on a special screen film.

    Great addition to the iPad. I use it all the time for drawing and completing forms and checklists. I didn't give it 5 stars, due to the price

    I was on the fence between this 2nd gen Apple Pencil and the 1st gen Apple Pencil and I'm absolutely glad I chose 2nd gen. The magnetic charging is super convenient and the battery life is amazing. I haven't had any issues with this pen

    Great upgreade from 1st Generation

    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.

    Long live the pencil

    I am a big fan of Apple products. The new 2nd generation pencil is a new refreshing addition to the Apple family. The way the new design that allows the pencil to connect to the side of the IPAD is neat, but the connection is not strong enough to keep the pencil connected when moving the IPAD around. It could easily get lost or drop off.

    Great add-on to iPad. Use it for note taking. Natural feel and flexible with colors, lines. Get an iPad cover that holds it for you…the magnet was easy to knock iff and lose.

    An Artist Essential!

    This product is an essential for the digital artist hand rendering art on any app. It is conveniently magnetically stored and wirelessly charged on the side of the iPad. Only downside would be the potential to lose the pencil accidentally if bumped off the side of the iPad.

    Makes using the ipad so much better. Great for note taking or if you want to be creative! It feels natural like using a pen and paper, but you don’t have to keep track of a bunch of notebooks

    Nice improvement over the previous version. The wireless charging is a real game-changer. keeping the pencil attached to the ipad means you'll always be at 100% charge. The writing feels natural and the balance is natural and ergonomically fits comfortably in your hand. Very well made and durable. Highly recommend!

    Bought the new iPad pro and 2nd generation pencil for my daughter for school. This has made note taking fun and easy. She loves it. It writes so much neater than a pen or pencil on paper. No smears. Also, it doesn't leave a mark on your notes where your hand rest- only marks what you intend from the tip of the pencil.
