Customer Ratings & Reviews

This pen is impressive. It’s very responsive to the pressure, angle, and speed at which I move. It’s also precise and stays on track. Plus it never loses its connection the the iPad and of course, the magnetic inductive charging feature is a giant leap from its predecessor. I love it. Only drawback, it’s overpriced!

As someone who spends a lot of time sketching, writing notes, and planning digitally, the Apple Pencil has completely changed the way I use my iPad. What impresses me most is how natural it feels—like holding a real pen, but with so much more power behind it. The pressure sensitivity and tilt recognition make shading and drawing feel fluid, while handwriting in apps like Notes or GoodNotes looks cleaner than anything I’ve tried with other styluses. Beyond creativity, it’s also practical. I can mark up PDFs for work, sign documents in seconds, and even navigate my iPad without leaving smudges all over the screen. The magnetic attachment and wireless charging are small details that make a big difference—I never lose it in my bag, and it’s always ready to go. It’s not just an accessory; it’s become an essential tool in my daily routine. If you’re on the fence, trust me: once you try it, you won’t want to go back.

The 2nd gen pencil only works with specific ipad models. Check your compatibility specifics on apples website. This pencil has upgraded pressure and drawing sensitivities that make it definitely a netter pencil over the gen 1 pencil. The charging ability is definately better than gen 1. Th we pencil pro is no released and cam only ne used on the new ipads. Cjeck your compatibility before purchasing any apple pencil so you can save yourself the hassle of needing to return this pencil. The apple pencil is a much better option than a standard stylus due to the shear amount of features included with the pencil. Features like pressure will change the thickness of the lines your drawing as well as variations in shading. The pencil can be tapped to undo your last action amd so many more predetermined functions. If your ipad is compatible the apple pencil is a must have addition.

This Apple Pencil Generation 2 is a much better stylus. The quality is great and is much like other Apple products in that it is sturdy, innovative and fits in with the rest of the Apple ecosystem. It stores and charges easily on my iPad and has a great smooth feel when taking notes, drawing or simply using it to swipe through apps. It’s great not having to have a separate cable or charger for this stylus. Great product!

I believe paired with the iPad it makes a remarkable note taking device. Charging is super simple and quick. It has great battery life for the size and functionality is precise as well whether you’re drawing or writing out things.

Very light and easy to use. I forget sometimes that I am holding the apple pen and try to write on a piece of paper to only realize I can write on paper with it. Excellent product is definitely a must have for the iPad Pro we have. Will be buying again with our second iPad.

I've had the pleasure of using the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) with my iPad, and I must say it's a game-changer for any creative or note-taking tasks. The precision and responsiveness of the Apple Pencil are truly remarkable, providing a seamless and natural writing and drawing experience. The pressure sensitivity allows me to effortlessly vary line thickness and shading, adding depth and detail to my artwork. The magnetic attachment and wireless charging feature make it incredibly convenient to keep the Apple Pencil securely attached to my iPad and always ready for use. The double-tap gesture functionality is a fantastic addition, as it allows me to quickly switch between tools or access different functions with a simple tap. The battery life is impressive, providing hours of uninterrupted use before needing a recharge. Whether I'm sketching, taking handwritten notes, or editing photos, the Apple Pencil has become an indispensable tool that enhances my creativity and productivity. If you're an iPad user looking to elevate your digital artistry or note-taking experience, the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) is an absolute must-have.

I was sort of skeptical about buying the apple pencil as I was told that it is not kind to left-handed people. Those people were wrong. This is an amazing pencil. The quality and double-tap features make it convenient and speed up writing/drawing. It's comfortable to hold on to and I have never had to worry about charging it as it magnetically connects to the Ipad. I don't think it is worth the 130. If it is ever on sale, definitely buy it.

I’ve found the Apple Pencil useful as an artist, but I have some major caveats about it. First: the battery dies really quickly! Even when I’m not using it, if I forget to unpair it, the charge drains quickly. Plus, the only way of charging it is to put it on the edge of the tablet. This is good because you don’t need an additional charger. It’s not so great because it easy lose. I lost one pencil & had to replace it It’s an expensive tool to get lost easily Third: speaking of getting lost, the pencil doesn’t have a case that would make it easier to keep track of it & nib replacements. For me, I wanted an all in one my styli & tips. So I did get a case for everything. It would’ve been helpful to have a case, esp for people who don’t want or can’t buy another pencil. Fourth , intuitive use w/apps & graphic programs. Occasionally works well, other time there’s a slight lag which is an issue for artists And lastly, this is not the fault of this Apple Pencil. Some graphic programs don’t support Apple Pencil 2 anymore. For example, Adobe Illustrator only supports Apple Pencil Pro. I want to cry. I’ve been at a standstill with my work because of the recent change. Apple makes it so difficult to keep our electronics even if we don’t want to constantly upgrade & spending more money. You would think they could incorporated the Apple Pencil Pro for IPads that aren’t just for the latest OLED screen tablets which will set you back for at least $1500

The pencil can sense if you're holding it straight or at a slant and the strokes become thicker the more you slant it. It works fabulously in the Notes app and fairly well in other apps, I am sure the other apps will offer updates for iPad Pro soon. Procreate is one of the art apps that offers full support for the Apple pencil and it is amazing. It is however a complex app to use as it has mind-boggling features for advanced drawing and painting. Luckily, it comes with a full featured book to explain how it works. Some apps like Sketches are easier. See sample pic sketched in 10-12 min (Sketches App). This is an excellent input device for the Apple iPad Pro. It is not perfect in some ways but it is very good at drawing, writing and touch control of the tablet. Here are the pros and cons as I have seen them since my use of the pencil: Pros: • Excellent for drawing or writing • Excellent for reworking photos and doing graphic arts • When used as a touch control it is very precise when using the tip. I even like using it to read with and highlighting text in a book. • It comes with a spare tip that can be replaced. • It comes with a lightning adapter that lets you use a lighting cable to charge the pencil. • It charges quickly • You can vary the pressure or the slope of the pencil tip to adjust the darkness or the width of a stoke of a bush while coloring a drawing for example. • You can see the charge level of the pencil by pulling down on the daily window shade at the top of the screen and touching widgets. The charge level of your iPad and the pencil will be displayed. Cons: • There is no way to attach the pencil to the iPad Pro or to the Apple Smart Keyboard. A simple magnet or other mounting technique would have been greatly appreciated. • The cap covering the Lightning plug on the pencil is in no way attached to the pencil which makes it very easy to lose since you have to frequently remove the cap to charge the pencil. The cap does have a small built in magnet so that when it is installed on the pencil it remains in place, but once removed to charge the pencil its lifetime is limited to human error of losing it. • The charging connector supplied for the pencil is vey small and it also has no method of connecting it to a key ring or any other object. It is the size of a small medical pill and potentially easily lost. •

It has been almost 5 months since I have ordered this Apple Pencil and it worked decently well for me, until just last week where it wouldn't even work with my iPad Pro at all. It would connect and read on my device, but once I try to use it, the Apple Pencil automatically disconnects and does not work. In terms of how I use the Apple Pencil, this 2nd gen design is something that took me a while to get used to but it works decently. The double tap to undo/erase/etc. was something I barely used, but it's a fun feature to have and could be useful. I really like how it has a magnet that makes it easy to attach onto the iPad Pro to both connect and charge. This is probably my favorite thing about the 2nd Gen Apple Pencil. Unfortunately, I had to knock off a few stars because of how it stopped working. I hope I can get this problem troubleshooted, but for now, this pencil is a major "eh" for me.

Fantastic accessory. My wife loves using it with her mini iPad. I bought the Logitech pencil but returned it for this item. It was well worth the extra money I spend. It is very well designed, charges when connected to the iPad. It is so easy to use.

The Apple Pencil allows you to unlock an entire array of different functions on the iPad you would otherwise never notice was there. Note-taking and drawing is really easy to do with this pen. The ability to charge it by magnets on the side of the iPad is so seamless and ensures that you never run out of battery. The pen lasts a very long time. So far I’ve only ever dipped into the 80% range during my class lectures. Definitely recommended for students!

Really good pencil for drawing and taking notes some cool features also and magnetic charging is a game changer

Nothing works better on my iPad Air when it comes to drawing or writing. The pencil works flawlessly, and charges just by being attached to the iPad magnetically. Does everything it says it does, and has that Apple design aesthetic that makes it the premium product it is.

It works nicely, I just wish it was actually integrated better as far as browsing and overall usage goes. It’s great quality and it’s pleasant to look at, attaches to the iPad Pro very nicely to charge.

The Apple Pencil is amazing. It’s fun to use, useful, and cool! I have so much fun using it! It makes just typing something super fun. I love how it’s compatible with so many things. The Apple Pencil makes many things easy! Typing paragraphs, drawing, and many other things. It’s amazing how it can do so many different tasks. The Apple Pencil is really cool! I love how you can double tap to change modes when drawing. It’s also really cool how you can change the tips. Overall, the Apple Pencil is AMAZING! It’s features are awesome, it makes things easier to do and it’s really fun to use.

Way better than Gen 1! The new apple pencil is outstanding and has lived on the side of my Ipad Pro since I bought it. I picked up a second one to have on my Mini also so I don't have to remember to grab the pencil from one device to move to the other if I am traveling. Love these pencils! So may shortcuts have been added to make this a powerful side kick to any Ipad that supports it.

Disclaimer this is the only apple pencil I have owned and been in contact with... That being said I love it, the weight of it is just enough that it isn't flying away (or feels too flimsy). The feature of the magnetic charging is super easy and quick. THE DOUBLE TAP THOUGH! It makes taking notes a lot easier when you can just do the double tap and continue. It also charges relatively quickly and the battery lasts awhile- yes, we are talking DAYS, which is convenient if I forgot to charge it overnight.
