    Works Fine With Ipad

    I like the Zagg Pro Stylus Pencil. It works well with my Ipad and Procreate app. The charging device is a little weird. You lay the pencil on this long cradle that has a C connector to plug in to a box or possibly your ipad. The stylus will attach to the magnetic strip on the ipad top, which is a good place to keep it unless you are taking it someplace. You should store it somewhere more secure then. Not sure if it charges up on top of Ipad but that is worthy of trying out. It is definitely a good value in comparison with alternatives.

    I am going to keep this short! This product is so much better than other similar item sin the market because of the fact that it includes a stylus on the back! Apple got rid of the home button and switched to gestures to do things like get to the home screen or access the control panel and with other pencils in the market for Ipads, they cannot do these things because they do not include a styles. Only the pen/pencil tip. With the Zagg pro Stylus, you can do those gestures with the flip of the pen instead of having to switch back and forth between using your fingers and then the pen. It offers fluidity and efficiency and that is why I love this product! My entire setup for my Ipad is Zagg now and I have not a one regret about that!

    Connected easily with different devices. We were exploring this as a lower-cost alternative to Apple Pencil for our school staff and students. It's not as precise as the Apple Pencil, but its performance is more than adequate for educational purposes. The comfort and ease of use make it a great, budget-friendly alternative for both staff and students in a classroom setting. The only major drawback for student use is the small extra adapter for charging that is likely to be lost by younger students.

    I have used the April pencil so I was concerned that this would be a disappointment but that is not the case. So far so good with the zagg stylus. I have used for about 2weeks and have not had to charge yet. It works perfectly with my iPad and the nub stylus on top is a nice little bonus stylus. It attaches to side of iPad just like the Apple Pencil

    The best overall thing about this stylus is that its half the price and dies the same thing as the Apple Pencil. It connects magnetically, connects via Bluetooth, shared across other ipads too. It can also charge just like the Apple version too which is a plus. Definitely recommend if you dont wabt to spend $130.00.

    Price wasn’t to bad, easy to use. Has wireless charging which can pop off pretty easy, I’ve put it on to charge only to find later it popped off. Overall a decent replacement to an apple pen.

    Bought this pen as an affordable alternative. I use the pen mostly for drawing and painting apps like Procreate. Its great and blocks smudging or movement with your hands. It lets you feel like you are back drawing on paper without having to avoid placing your palm on the tablet. Love it.

    If you’re looking for a budget-friendly Apple Pencil alternative for note-taking, casual drawing, and general iPad use, the ZAGG Pro Stylus is an excellent choice. It offers a premium feel, solid performance, and great compatibility across various iPad models. However, if you’re a professional artist or someone who relies on pressure-sensitive drawing, you might want to invest in the Apple Pencil instead.

    I really love this stylus.I appreciate the on/off switch, the fast charge, the size and feel, great brush control on Procreate. Great angle of pencil control. Only thing I would change, the COLOR. It’s like stealth black, made to disappear. I need it in neon or glow in the dark, or even pencil yellow like the box it comes in.

    Stylus end works well. The tip of the pen is not always responsive, so it may have a special technique required. Have only used it with selecting multiple choice answers on iPad. Have not used for drawing or writing notes.

    10/10 recommend. I use this one every day on my iPad mini 6th gen. I love the ease of use and it’s very comfortable to hold. I even recommend this one over the Apple Branded Pencil. It charges magnetically if your iPad supports that and also has a C port as an alternative charge. If it dies in the middle of use, you can flip it over and use the soft rubber stylus which is very convenient.

    I purchased this stylus one month ago. At first it worked great, however the led battery indicator does not work. The stylus would die and when i charge it, it says it is fully charged. This makes it diffucult to see the battery life. Overall this is not worth $58. You can find a better alternative for half price on amazon with all the same features.

    I’ve had 3 apple pencils and found them uncomfortable and difficult to use. Not only that but they are expensive. The Zagg stylus has an entirely different feel. The shape is comfortable and the shorter length has much better balance. It fits in my iPad case better and charges faster. And it’s much cheaper! Overall, I’m very pleased with it!
