Pencil Uses

[Fr. Guido Sarducci]

Aside from drawing and other artistic purposes, what can the pencil do that I am missing out on?

bought one 4 years ago for my last iPadPro, still can’t figure out why…

Ha! Great answer, and I would probably end up the same. Thanks!

My primary use is note taking. I go to meetings where sitting on a laptop type device is a no no so being able to jot down notes quickly is a real benefit (yes.. I could take a notepad but I like having the digital evidence days later).

Second to that is screen shots. swiping diagonally up from bottom left is quick and simple.

I do draw / touch up photos too so my pencil does get used. I had a pencil on my 2020 iPad pro, when I bought an M4 IPP I decided I used it enough to buy another pencil.

I only ever use mine with a 3D modelling app I sometimes [try to] use at a basic level.
Otherwise its one of those things that discharges itself and I charge back up every so often. lol

I actually purchase one to try out, and it turns out that I use the heck out of it. Everything from touching up photos to simply using it like a mouse has actually worked out well for me. I had the USB-C version but sent it back after a couple days in exchange for the Pro just because the charging method is so much easier.

It can be good with the Freeform app. Also the math notes function is pretty useful, if you need that.
