AMAZING!! If you have an iPad and are using it for graphic design, schooling, ANYTHING! You need to pair it with the Apple Pencil. It has amazing battery life and functionality. I love how easy it is to pair to the iPad and the convenience of being able to charge it right on the iPad so I don’t have any extra cords laying around.

A great pencil. Good for drawing on procreate and it feels really nice. It can switch from pen to erase mode by a double tap, it can also attach magnetically to an iPad (depends which one tho) it work well it with iPad Air 5.

I absolutely love my Apple pencil it makes using the iPad first all sorts of tasks so much easier. What I like even more about it is that it magnets to the side of it so it keeps it charged and ready to use unlike other knockoff brand pens. Best buy even refunded me the amount because it went on sale and they honored the difference after a few days of purchasing.

My Apple Pencil is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made! It is perfect for my work and my daughter always uses it to do her notes. Plus with this pencil and my IPad I don’t not need paper so less waste. This pencil charges super fast and has long battery. I 10/10 recommend!!

1 tool to rule them all

From notes to beautiful art, Apple Pencil can be every tool you need.
It lasts hours and hours on a charge, magnetically attaches (solid hold), built light and balanced.
Apple Pencil 2 is a nice upgrade from the 1st gen. Immediately I noticed the feel. It has a soft texture matte white body that feels more pleasant than the 1st gen. Also, the 1st gen was a bit back-heavy so the pencil would actually tip over my hand. This one is shorter, balanced, and has a flat edge for better grip.
If you know what you want to use it for, get it.
I’m sure you’ll enjoy it too.

A Must have for your iPad Pro11 3rd gen

I’m so glad that I purchased this Apple Pencil 2nd gen. It’s my fav accessory for my iPad. It is so easy to create beautiful artwork with this Pencil.
The grip is nice. The thickness of the Pencil is just right. I don’t even feel that it needs a cover. It’s so easy to work with this Pencil. I wish Apple has added an eraser as well on this Pencil and that would have made it beyond perfect.
Overall this Pencil is a must have if you have iPad Pro and you love to create artwork.

Easy to use and fun! Love using it to help draw on my iPad or edit things for photography. You have to learn how to set the settings for drawing because you can change your brushes just by simply tapping the pen!

It’s working perfectly for my iPad art! I also use it for Design Doodler, a program for turning art into stitches for an embroidery machine. My iPad case has a place to put the Apple Pencil and it charges automatically in the case.

WIRELESS CHARGING SMART APPLE PENCIL, YES. BUY IT

Im not a very smart woman by any means, but what I will say is, when I show up to meetings with my iPad and my APPLE PENCIL, I look like I know a thing or two. This magnetically sticks to my iPad, so I almost have to go out of my way to misplace the thing, it's got technology to use the pen while not picking up the palm of my hand. It blows my mind. IDK how they do it, nor do I care to know, but I like it. It charges while on the iPad, so that is a plus since the last one I had needed to be plugged in and ultimately led to the demise of that pen -_-, but I've moved on with my life. Anyway. Apple, keep doing what you're doing and if you're looking for an "influencer" 35-year-old mother with 4 children, a husband a dog and a kick smash fun reviewer in lieu of free apple products, CALL ME, LIKE YESTERDAY! They say you make 0% of the shots you don't take, IM TAKING MY SHOT!

This would be my second Apple Pencil 2nd gen. I loved the first generation of Apple Pencil, but this one is much easier to handle the charging and it feels a lot nicer to hold. I love it for notes and for artwork!

The Apple Pencil is pretty awesome. I had the Gen 1 and I liked it a lot. Then I got my 12 inch iPad Pro, I had to have an Apple Pencil. I got the Gen 2 and I like. It changes on top of the iPad. It changes fast. Worth it. I use Good Notes take notes and it works well with the Apple Pencil. You can use it on the Notes app. Totally worth it.

If you’re on the fence- just do it. I can’t believe this is my first time trying an Apple Pencil but it’s amazing. So good for editing or creating. Expensive but i don’t regret my purchase one bit

This pencil is not cheap in price but it does work like magic on the iPads. Very lightweight and easy to pair and charge up.
There's some good apps out there that let you write up some notes or do some digital sketching on your iPad.
