Review: Amazing - Perfect to star . I do trade all ways whit my pencil sow smooth
Review: Hands-down worth the money if you are do art/lettering - I've had many stylus' over the years for my ipads and nothing comes even remotely close to the Apple Pencil. The first time I saw this product I wondered why anyone would ever buy a stylus that is this expensive, but I completely know why now. First off, charging this pencil is so easy. I just plug it in to my ipad pro directly to get a charge and it comes to a full charge in a matter of just 20 minutes. I thought before buying this product I would be annoyed at the fact that you had to charge the stylus, but even when it dies on me when I am in the middle of drawing I just have to plug it in for 1 minute to get 30 minutes to an hours worth of charge. Another feature that I love is the palm rejection. I draw almost everyday and I have never been able to draw much on the ipad because the way I write and draw is with my palm pressed hard against whatever surface I am on. So this stylus was a game changer for me! I rarely find the palm rejection not working. Maybe a couple of times when my knuckle touched the screen in a weird way but that is very rare. I use the app Procreate to draw and the one thing that I wanted was a pressure sensitive stylus, and I got this with the apple pencil. It works extremely well too. If you do lettering, this is definitely a gamechanger. The only problem that I have encountered in the few months of using the apple pencil is a problem with the Apple Pencil working while charging my Ipad Pro. I'm not sure if this happens to others, but when I am charging my ipad the apple pencil will freakout and make a bunch of marks all over an act like it is not connected completely. I tested this in both the notability app as well as the Procreate app and they both did the same this. So I have to wait until my ipad is unplugged before using the pencil (which can be annoying at times). The only other problem I have with it is the cap is not connected to the stylus and easily comes off and can get lost. The magnet is not that strong on the cap which is very annoying. This is a workaround buy though which is a must if you don't want to buy an replacement cap https://www.desertcart.com/3-Piece-Fintie-Pencil-Lightning-Adapter/dp/B01H6Q03IY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1485457860&sr=8-2&keywords=apple+pencil+cap+holder Note: My next favorite stylus that I used for a long time was the Adonit Jot Pro which I will never use again after buying the Apple Pencil

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this us currency**
A: The currency you're seeing the price in is a function of which Amazon Store site you're using. The Amazon.com store uses USD, US dollars.

**Q: It stopped working**
A: I have a 1st Gen Apple Pencil and it stopped working for me after not charging it for over a couple months. I thought the same thing, that the battery died because it wasn't regularly charged. I even came to this page, thinking I had to buy a new one (I have an old iPad Pro which only takes 1st Gen pencils).  However, I also started an apple support chat and was able to resurrect the pencil by hard restarting my iPad Pro (the pencil was never the problem).  Upon hard restarting, my iPad asked me to pair the pencil and it now works fine.  The support tech suggested charging the pencil every few days or every week but that they have lithium-ion batteries, which means you can charge when you want and as much as you want. I told him I thought that there was a limited number of charges in the battery, and he said there maybe a limit to the number of full charges but it takes years to get to that point.  Hope this saves you having to buy a new one if you don't need to.

**Q: Is there a trick to this the pencil I got on Friday doesn't seem to be working?**
A: I see a lot of complaints and I’m not sure if I’m going to get the newest iPad Pro 9.7 “ new. But the pencil I want to draw and color with.. I see a bunch of other pens not from Apple for a 1/4 of the price ? Can you tell me which to get and how do you think the cheaper pens will color as they say works great with iPad 4

**Q: How do you erase Apple Pencil marks? Is it easy?**
A: You click on the erase icon & erase with the pencil as if you were to write with the pencil. Pretty easy, my BF loves it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love It!
*by J***E on December 23, 2019*

I love this pencil and I'm not an artist in any way shape or form! I've found that Apple products that I thought were pointless/useless i.e. apple watch, ipads, the apple pencil, are products that I've come to absolutely love once I got them. That list now includes the apple pencil! It is SO precise and responsive. I'm not an artist but I found myself downloading and enjoying sketch pad apps because of how fun it is to use the pencil. And if nothing else, it helps keep excessive finger prints off my screen because I no longer need to touch it as often. The pressure sensitivity is amazing as well! It really functions as a real pencil/paintbrush/whatever you need it to be. The one downside to the pencil is actually it's seamless connectivity. It's great because it instantly connects but if it's in the vicinity of my iPad, even if i'm not using the pencil, it will connect to my iPad and start draining it's battery. I wish there was an on/off switch but I can live without it. I just keep the pencil in a separate drawer when I'm not using it. I have a case with a pencil holder on it but it wakes up the pencil every time I move my iPad. All the other problems are not big deals. Sure, I wish there was some way the pencil charging cover was attached to the pencil, but it's magnet and will stick to your iPad while your charging the pencil. And yes, plugging the pencil into your iPad to charge seems like an accident waiting to happen, but the pencil comes with a USB cable adapter so that you don't need to plug it into your iPad. It's a great product and I will never use an iPad without one anymore.
