Nice pens
These pens write very smoothly. My kid got one handed to him and needed them for school, so I grabbed the colored pack for me for fun, and I'm loving how well they glide. Slight issue with smear marks, as I am left handed, but overall a good pen. And my right handed kid does not have any ink smear issues

Great but dicey
I frequently purchase these pens, singularly in store and at other times online in a multipack. I absolutely love the colors and how the gel ink doesnt smear or overaaturate the paper.

Red pens-not good
These are such bad pens - the whole box, blotchy writing, and not smooth like a gel pen whatsoever. Really dislike

They’re okay pens
I’m slightly disappointed in these ones. I feel like the black ones right better than the colored ones.

Not worth the saving
None of the pen work. Few of them didn't write and the ones that did barely marked the paper. Not again to buys this again rather paid more. Very disappointed.

Love this pen
I received a free product of BIC Gelocity Quick Dry Gel Pens Medium Point (0.7mm) (One Pen Blue). It's smooth writing quick drying and smudge-free. I enjoy using this pen. I plan on buying the whole set soon. Being an artist these would be a great addition to my art supplies and to use in certain drawings I do. I highly recommend!

Disappointing
Only one pen out of the entire box actually worked. Have purchased other colors of this brand and have had zero issues. Will not buy these in red again.
