good battery, FAR better line quality then Qualcom and the handle is just better. I have tried a few and for home use I like this one... otherwise I would use a regular stylus. Easy to Bluetooth pair. I had awful time with others and ipad.

Since the Apple pencil had a long wait time, I bought this device as an interim solution. I like it so much I will probably stay with this product when the Apple pencil is available. It does everything I need to for the iPad pro.

I expected this product to work as well as the Surface pen for the Surface tablets but found it to be lacking in overall features associated with the product. Pressure sensitivity is decent.

You'd think for this price that this would allow pressure sensitive response in a variety of apps. Instead, it has directional/angle sensitivity (otherwise the entire purpose for bluetooth battery operation would be null) in Fiftythree's proprietary Paper app.
The nib is huge and clumsy, many reports state you go through them rapidly with heavy use. I didn't find the design comfortable, since artists generally don't use fat rectangular craftsman's pencils for drawing, right?
Not the pressure stylus for iPad I was looking for.

it should be reviewed that only this model has a magnet that works with the ipad case, a nice feature.
it's a great stylus to have, the best in my opinion, the functionality it adds the the app Paper are awesome.

I had been looking at this product for awhile. I chose to buy a different product 1 year ago. I was not happy so I picked up this stylus. I am happy I did. It's easy to use and my daughter loves it.

I watched several videos regarding the use of this device and never knew you needed an iPad 3 or newer. I tried to use it on my ipad 2 and none of the features worked. I had to return it but once I upgrade will be looking to purchase something similar or better.

This was bought for my teenage nephew (who is hard to impress) about a month ago to allow him to digitally create and store the cartoon characters he draws. His Pencil 53 and his iPad are now rarely out of reach. I've been impressed with what he can draw.

I had not enjoyed using my ipad due to the need of constantly cleaning the screen but with the pen - now I use it all the time. It's actually more fun using it with a pen pointer.

I'm not sure if I didn't research this product enough before purchasing, but I had no idea that you had to charge your pencil through a USB port prior to using. I'm still not sure how to turn the pencil "off"--there are little to no directions that come with it, I guess you are just supposed to KNOW how it works! For the most part it does what I need it to, however you cannot draw very fine lines with it, despite what the description says. That was a disappointment. Overall, it gets the job done, but I don't love it as much as I thought I would.

Looks a little cluncky at first, but at the end, a very useful pencil that works on ipads and other items as well - like older toshiba microsoft journal screens

Until the release of the Apple Pencil, this was the best stylus available for iPads. Now it is just so so. One serious flaw is the eraser end pops off easily. I already lost it.

This a great stylus. Use it with Paper and many other apps designed for it. It writes smooth, draws well and is pressure sensitive just like a pencil.

The Best Stylus I have Ever Owned!!!

I have tried out many stylus and this is the best! I have owned a lot of other stylus for writing notes on my iPad, with the 53 app it is amazing. Like a real pencil just flip it on the opposite end to erase just like a real pencil (no tapping on different buttons in an app to get something erased when your working on something time sensitive)!

I picked up this stylus mainly to work with the Paper app. And so far, I've been quite pleased with the overall performance of the stylus with the app and with the i-devices themselves.

This stylus works perfectly. It is exactly what I needed. While it may not be the best fit for taking notes, it works for me.
