How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsIt's easy to use
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 25, 2023
The Apple Pencil Gen 2 is a game-changer for digital artists and note-takers alike. It's a sleek and elegant stylus that offers precise and responsive performance.

One of the most notable features of the Apple Pencil Gen 2 is its magnetic charging capability. Simply attach it to the side of your iPad Pro or iPad Air, and it will start charging. This eliminates the need for a separate charging cable, making it much more convenient to use on the go.

The Pencil's pressure sensitivity and tilt detection are also impressive, providing an incredibly natural writing and drawing experience. It offers a low latency, which means that the strokes you make appear on the screen almost instantaneously, making it feel as though you're using a traditional pen or pencil.

The build quality of the Apple Pencil Gen 2 is top-notch. It has a glossy finish that's comfortable to hold and doesn't slip out of your hand. Its slender design makes it easy to grip and navigate with precision, and it weighs in at a mere 20.7 grams, so it won't cause any fatigue during extended use.

Another great feature of the Apple Pencil Gen 2 is its compatibility with a wide range of third-party apps. Whether you're sketching in Procreate, taking notes in GoodNotes, or marking up a PDF in Notability, the Pencil works seamlessly with many popular apps.

One minor downside of the Apple Pencil Gen 2 is its price point, which is on the higher side. However, it's worth the investment if you're a professional artist or someone who regularly takes digital notes and wants the best quality and experience.

Overall, the Apple Pencil Gen 2 is a fantastic stylus that's perfect for anyone looking for precision, convenience

3.0 out of 5 starsMuch better…
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 23, 2023
… but still a LONG way to go!

The flat area on the pencil was a master stroke of genius. Improving comfort in the hand and recharging at the same time. Excellent!

As a person with big hands, my comfort level when using is still not high. Let me explain, a tool should feel comfortable in your hand. It should be an extension, a natural extension of yourself. Using a tool should be a value added exercise every time you grab for the that tool. Because of the comfort, the tool becomes fundamental to your personal excellence and brand.

First Gen Apple Pencil, was good, but had issues. Second Gen Apple Pencil is better. Look to the fundamentals of comfort, and I expect great things in the Third Gen Apple Pencil!

4.0 out of 5 stars Too skinny and slippery.
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 10, 2023

I use my big iPad to display sheet music when I play. There's a lot of marking (annotating) involved: writing in bowings, expression marks, little reminders to yourself. The wonderful thing about this 2nd gen pencil is that you can double tap the side of it to switch between writing and erasing. That's a huge time saver for a musician. The induction charging and pairing is both a plus and a negative. You no longer have to mess with cords or easily lost female to female adapters, but if you have a protective case around your iPad, you may have to peel away the edge of your case to expose the side of the ipad for positive connection with the pen. With my case, it's an ongoing problem.

Biggest issue, it's way to skinny and slippery. Not at all comfortable to hold. But I can't put a wrap around it or it'll mess up the contact with iPad. Apple seems to have this forever issue of form winning out over function.

I really like it the magnetic connection is amazing I love that it charges when it connects to your ipad.i do have to say you can not use it to swipe up to markout tabs and for other small things but what you can use it for makes up for that.

Love the Apple Pencil for writing down notes in class but this is my second one. The magnet isn't as strong as I would like and is sliding off the top of my iPad. If you have a case that holds the pencil in place I think you would be better off

4.0 out of 5 stars Great to use but there are issues
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 17, 2023

The pencil when it connects to the iPad works great. But there are bugs maybe to the iPad os or to the pencil itself that makes it disconnect to the iPad and no matter what it doesn’t connect back. Happened to me and I hit forget device, reconnected, and it worked. Happened again after a month, so I hit forget this device and it was gone. Tried everything but nothing worked. Thankfully Amazon still took it back after the 30 days were up. Mind you the pencil was but 4 months in use and hadn’t been damaged in the slightest. I also heard if taken to the Apple Store they will usually take the broken one back and get you another one (probably done within the one year manufacture warranty).

4.0 out of 5 stars Works great but a little too tap sensitive which I fixed with a little fabric.
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 29, 2023
Verified Purchase
Overall, it works great! But it keeps thinking I'm tapping it so it changes tips when i don't want it to change. So, I made a thin sleeve out of fabric, 1-2 thicknesses. I hold it together with 3 thin strips of tape. (cut the fabric to size, wrap around the pencil and hold tight, and tape.) Now I can still tap to change tips but it doesn't change on its own very much any more. I take it off to charge the pencil.

With this, I'd give it 5 stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pencil works great
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 11, 2023

Not much of an electric pencil user, however, the few times I used the pencil, it did its job. I found it to be accurate. With some practice, I can see myself using it. I can see where the pencil is convenient for artists but at the same time, the sleekness of the screen seems that it would be difficult to draw on. Screen protectors that offer a certain tactile paper-like feel would be a must-have. Right now I am not ready to give up my gorilla glass screen protector.

Pencil died suddenly after 1 1/2 years. Grudgingly replaced it. If it dies again, I’ll buy the Logitech one!
