Best Answer:I have two gen 3 iPads and neither respond to the Apple Pencil. I didn't expect any kind of inking to work, but I thought it would work as a basic stylus at least. It does not.

Answer
I have an apple pencil too and have had a hard time using it the way I expected. If you have a printer available, you can turn the print preview into a pdf which then can be opened and annotated using the pencil. I use the pinch to zoom gesture to create the PDF and open it in the Adobe app to annotate. I guess you can also take a screenshot and mark up the photo.

Pardon my ignorance, but does the Apple Pencil work similar to a mouse?
I work online as a day trader. I use last years MacBook for all my needs. For travel, I am interested in the new iPad and pencil.
There are calculations and lines I draw with the mouse on 3rd party broker apps. Am I able to perform the same, but improved drawings, with the pencil on these apps?- Asked by James M from Canmore

Best Answer:You just need to remove the cap and plug it into your iPad Pro. It will automatically connect and enable itself. Note, Bluetooth must be enabled on the iPad Pro for this to work.
