Customer Ratings & Reviews

I use this on my iPad Pro 12.9” version, it works great, I love drawing and making stuff in procreate and using it to write notes, it charges very fast and is pretty seemless. If you’re in the market for one, you forreal can’t go wrong. The only issue is you may have to turn the tap to change function off, with regular use it was constantly changing back and fourth between drawing tools, and it gets quite annoying. But overall, really good

wonderful little device, so convenient at work. Also depends on the pressure placed on the pencil as to the wear of the point

This works exactly as advertised. I am a professional artist, and I happen to have both a Lenovo Yoga All-in-One and the iPad Pro, so I thought I'd do some compare and contrasts with their individual pens. The Apple pencil acts almost identically to the flow of an actual pen/brush—comparable to my experience to a Wacom Intuos Pro tablet. The Lenovo pen is a little less sensitive and takes some practice to get used to how it flows. The Apple pencil was very easy to set up; whereas I am still having trouble getting the Lenovo pen settings to work on my computer (part of what was advertised with the All-in-one). There is still some issues with errant dots appearing when I draw on the iPad Pro, however, I think that is more of a universal problem with touch screens in general rather than with the Apple Pencil itself, and I was able to mitigate it with a tablet glove. The downside of both the iPad Pro and Apple pencil is more part of my own broad issues with Apple products in general: they are wildly overpriced (which is the major reason why I went to Lenovo when I was searching for a dedicated desktop computer). I'm hoping that with companies like Microsoft and Lenovo catching up to the level of drawing technology Apple is at, that may change. Overall, I'm very happy with the performance of the Apple pencil and I would recommend it as a valuable tool for artists.

This new version of the Apple Pencil is a great update from the older version. The magnetic side that keeps the pencil attached to the iPad has kept me using it much more due to the fact that it's always right there. The functionality is great and the automatic charging when attached to the iPad is light years ahead of the older process. As with all things Apple, it's definitely on the expensive side.

Works great! Love how I can write, color or even sketch with it!

The only pencil I’ve had to use and has worked flawlessly since I’ve gotten it.

Lasts me for a year now and might have to replace the tip of the pencil. Connection lags at times but, not daily.

If you own an iPad then this pen works perfect if you love drawing and taking notes. Daughter uses it for her games as well. Sold price compared to other Apple products, works great and plenty features.

I have a first gen pencil for my older 12.9” iPad Pro and have learned to like it very well. I bought this one for my 2020 iPad Pro. If you have the newer iPads, this new pencil is a big improvement. The feature to switch to eraser is really handy. I like the length of the device more than the Gen 1 as well. I would say that if you have an iPad and the Sept 2020 IPadOS you need this pencil.

I bought this after test-driving my friend's iPad and Apple Pencil. I was impressed with the precision and accuracy of the pencil. It almost writes as well as a real pencil, minus the tacticle feel against paper. What's better is I get to save what I wrote for prosperity. For example, I journal quite a bit with paper and pen. Now, it's with iPad and Apple Pencil. I can also save what I wrote and search for it later, as the app I use can search actual, bonafide handwriting. Only complaint, and it's more of an iOS thing than it is the pencil, is that about 25% of the time, iOS guesses incorrectly a twhat I wrote. This leads to much frustration. I do traditional handwriing/Cooper calligraphy style-writing. Oftentimes, iOS thinks I wrote one thing when I really wrote something else. As a result, I have to print rather than use cursive so that iOS can understand me. The Pencil attaches to the iPad via a magnet and charges through induction. The first generation Pencil was hokey, in that you had to plug in a physical cable to charge it.

Charging through magnetic connection is excellent, as I never have to worry about it losing power. It writes very easily and cleanly and feels well-balanced in my hands.

This Apple Pencil is very easy to use and charges super fast. It’s battery also lasts a long time.

You must have one if you own an iPad, especially if you are doing anything creative with it. I use Procreate and It is incredible how close to real drawing you can get with the Apple Pencil

I love this. The pencil is perfect. I love this. The pencil is perfect

Great tool for artists and creative people. Magnetic charging is super simple, battery lasts a really long time, smooth gliding over the glass on the iPads. The new pencil only comes with 1 tip. Additional replacement tips can be purchased from Apple. Although it'll probably be a while before you'll need to replace it. Highly recommended for all creative types using the new iPads that support the 2nd generation Apple Pencil.

great for beginner digital artists! Works very well for note taking

It’s a pencil. Works very intuitively. No buttons but is pressure sensitive and you can tap it in some apps which works like a button press. Very well made and I’ve not experienced a session where it ran out of power. Hard to remember to snap it to edge of iPad anytime you would normally set it down. Maybe they should add a locate feature? Charges fast.

Very easy to use. The magnetic install is quick and easy. Keyboard communicates flawlessly and the charge holds very long. Love the angle which is easy on the eyes.

Good, compatible with 5th gen air pad, charges magnetically, and makes taking notes easier

The apple pencil and ipad combo is a masterful work of sheer genius and engineering. This epic little guy is really able to take on the abilities of the real tools it emulates. The real shocker was just how much it's able to immitate a real pencil's capabilities. The simplistic minimal design is also a comforting and subtle reminder of how less is more.
