Do you use your Apple Pencil or is it just collecting dust?

I first got my Apple Pencil December 2015. So for over a year now. I never figured how it could serve me or make my iPad experience better. I switched from iPad Pro 12.9 to 9.7 back in July. Not sure I have even paired it to the 9.7 yet.

I never even bought a pen. Mostly it can be used for drawing and opening apps and writing and a few other things. If I could use it to make screen caps like I can do on my Surface Pro 3 or Note 5, I would have bought it. I have no use for the pencil on an iPad.

I thought I would use it for highlighting and makes notes in pdf files (using iAnnotate PDF). It is pretty good for that, but sadly I must admit it's currently sitting dead in my backpack, unused for months.

Mine is gathering dust. I expected to use it mostly for note taking but I'm still to find a notes app with good OCR that I actually like (yes I've seen the other thread on notes apps, just nothing I've tried has really wowed me)

Someone on here... I won't mention any names (@Just_Me_D)... convinced me to get one, and at the time I was into the whole cool aspect of it. Even used it for note taking and drawing a bit. Now it just sits in its box on my shelf.

Ah that's messed up. Why would put me on blast like that? I thought we were cool...(laughing)...I'm so hurt

Used mine some at the office to take notes, really liked it for that. My wife got ahold of it and draws a lot of pictures. She loves it!

I posted awhile back that I rarely used mine, but just started using it to notate music for church on the weeks I lead at church. I use an app called music stand, which is a companion app for planning center. Works well and I don't have to have all the charts with me in paper form. Super excited about this discovery.
