After recently having bought the new 10.5 inch model after having owned the 9.7 model I experienced an issue in the App I use the most every day: OneNote. I use it for all work related note taking, which is _a lot_. Disclaimer: Prior to thinking about posting in these forums I asked about this... -

Pencil problem (12.9 second gen pro)
Does anyone else have an issue with their pencil not being detected upon use when the iPad has been off for a while? Each time I start using the iPad with the pencil at the moment, I have to plug it into the iPad for a second before it starts to function. Once this has been done the pencil... -
Surface pro pen vs apple pencil
I went downtown today to audition the new 10.5" ipad pro and the new Surface Pro. Basicially I found new iterations did not move needle in either direction. The apple pencil tip feels too hard and "plasticy" to me. It seemed tiring in oneNote. The massively overhyped "zero latency" seemed... -
Using Apple Pencil to grade student essays--best apps?
Academic here--one who marks up a lot of student essays. I'm thinking about going physically paperless in my classes (again), but I've never liked inserting typed commentary using the comments function of Word. I've always preferred handwriting my comments directly on top of their text. Even...- kipwheeler

iPad Pro Annotation capabilities??
I am a grad student and am considering the iPad pro; I currently have an older iPad, but would like to be able to work more directly with the materials (i.e. the Pencil). Most of the time I use a variety of platforms (Apple Books, Kindle, Ebsco Host, Adobe, etc.) I am curious about the extent to... -

I am reassessing my workflows and thinking more about the ipad pro. I am interested in peoples opinion of the apple pencil and ipad versus microsoft and wacom competitors. Having played around a while in the Apple store and having watched many reviews on youtube, I am concluding the pencil has... -
Sketch/pencil option on Procreate suddenly went missing.
Dudes, sorry if this question is entirely stupid and/or has already been posted earlier (I'm in too much of a hurry to check all the discussion strings). Here's my problem. I have a n iPad Pro (9.7) with Apple Pencil and downloaded Procreate to create illustrations for something I'm writing... -

iPad Pro Different tip options for Pencil
Loving my Apple Pencil, but I definitely wish it could have more drag on the screen. I have less control drawing and writing because of the slippery-ness. I got a matte screen protector to give the iPad screen a more "toothy" feel. It helps quite a bit, but it's still not quite like lead and...- subjonas

Apple Pencil Clicking Noise when pushing tip
Hi Guys, I just recently discovered that my pencil clicks when pushing it a bit harder for thicker lines when drawing. You can only really hear it in silent environments, so not a big deal. Just was curious to hear if yours does it as well...? It can be quite disturbing when drawing in a quiet... -

Pencil support on macbooks
Do you think Pencil support will ever come to Macbooks? My job uses heavy duty OS X drawing applications that won't be coming to iOS any time soon, if ever. For years I've been wanting a powerful standalone OS X drawing machine to handle these applications, as I move around a lot and often have...- subjonas

Pencil scratches question
DetroidBorg's Pencil review mentions that using the pencil will (might?) scratch your ipad pro screen. Nobody else mentions this in their reviews though which is a bit odd. He's a good reviewer though, so i don't want to dismiss him. Anyone can confirm this to be a fact or not? Does the...- FilipH

iPad Pro A college student's review of the iPad Pro.

iPad Pro Finally got to try a Pencil in person...meh
TLDR - I didn't like it. I live over an hour from an Apple store, so I don't get there much. But yesterday we were in the neighborhood and I decided to stop in and try one. My current stylus is a N-trig based Surface 4 Pen that I am using on a Vaio Canvas Z. N-trig has its issues, so I...- fieldsphotos

Resolved Pencil looses connectivity to iPad Pro
If you find that your Pencil which was working fine with your iPad Pro suddenly won't access the screen/apps, check to see that the tip is fully screwed in. It's threaded to the outer Pencil sleeve so you can replace tips when necessary. I didn't realize this and had noted that my Pencil tip was...
