Great item!
Really good and affordable alternative for the Apple Pencil - works just as well and allows for scribble function. Comfortable to use and doesn’t glitch like others I have tried, can lean on the screen and still write perfect! Would recommend to anyone who needs a cheaper alternative to the Apple Pencil

Great pencil, with long battery life
Better than the Apple Pencil in my opinion, and it lasts a great deal of time before charges, easy on off by tapping the top twice, feels sturdy and writes well with no apparent lag, it’s quite heavy but I like that personally and it’s comfortable to hold. Fraction of the price of Apples pencil and does the same job, no contest!

Very impressed for the price
Picked up the Metapen Pencil A8 for my iPad and I’m genuinely impressed for the price. It worked straight out of the box—just switch it on and start writing. The tip glides nicely, lines are clean, and tilt sensitivity makes mark-ups and quick sketches feel natural. Build quality is better than expected and the fast charge is handy; a short top-up gets me going again. Two minor niggles: the battery life could be better (I usually need a top-up after longer sessions), and every now and then it’s a little unresponsive when I first start writing—flicking it off and on sorts it. Overall, a cracking budget alternative to the Apple Pencil for notes, PDFs and casual drawing. Not perfect, but easy to recommend at this price.

Perfect iPad pen for lectures and slides
I didn’t want to spend so much money on an Apple Pencil, so I looked at several alternatives and I’m really glad I chose this one. I’ve had it for over a year and I’ve only had to charge it a few time. I can literally count them on my fingers. The battery lasts forever. What I really liked is that I didn’t have to pair it with Bluetooth. I just turned it on and it connected to my iPad straight away. The double-tap to turn it on and off is super convenient, especially when I’m in class. I mainly use it for university. I write directly on my lecture slides and PDFs, and it feels smooth and accurate. It also comes with a spare tip, although I’m still using the original one and it’s still in perfect condition. If you’re a university student who takes notes like I do, this pen is perfect.

Absolutely amazing for the price
Brilliant choice for the price, does not need Bluetooth to connect and can easily jump between iPads. Works with M5 iPad Pro and was bought due to the price of having to pay for another Apple Pencil as previous pencil no longer compatible. Works amazing and somewhat more receptive than my Apple Pencil with my previous iPad. Albeit does not have the double tap for eraser feature but there are work around for most apps. Battery lasts a full day easily and charges very quickly in about half an hour via usb c, pen does attach well to ipad magnetically but obviously does not charge. Also comes with 4 additional tips which is a nice additional feature. Would totally recommend the pen to anyone and amazing at a fraction of the price.

Recommend. Great product
Pressure sensitivity is great. Works well with iPad. Charges fast and lasts a long while before having to recharge. Come with spare tips also. Fits perfectly in hand and is accurate when writing on screen. Smooth enough when using the pen To colour. Nice white colour pen and is easy to hold even after long periods of use.

Go buy!!
Got it as a place holder while i save for the apple pencil pro. Works well, came fully charged but can charge either on the ipad or on the wire and is quite quick! Fit perfectly in my case and is comfortable to hold and light weight. Doesnt have pressure sensitivity but it seems to have a good tilt sensitivity, its just weird because when I draw on paper I dont hold the pencil like that🥲😅😂 so still learning. Came white how i wanted!

I bought his pen back in March for my IPad (10th gen) and kept it for quite some months. I did not really use it that much until two months, but when I did, it had some problems. Every time it would work discretely but also either make ---- lines or not write anything at all. Every time I had to go back to the part and write the text again. I did not do much about it for a while. Last month I contacted the Costumer Service via the WhatsApp number they have on their website. I explained the problems the pen had and they were quite friendly. They gave me the option to either 1) get a full refund or 2) get a new pen, because it seemed that the tip was defective. I chose the latter, as I needed the pen at that point. They asked me to send my info for the new order through Amazon, and then they shipped it! I did not have to send the defective one back or pay additional money for the new one. It arrived after a couple of days. I have been using it since then (about a month). It works perfectly! I have no problem that I previously had with the written lines, and the battery lasts quite some time. As you might read in the description, it shows different colours for how charged it is, but it also shows a red light when it is being charged and when it is completely charged it turns white. The charge does not take long (about 30 minutes for a full one, but you can leave it charging for 10 minutes to use it for a couple of hours). I have not seen a decrease in performance for the past month and also for the battery. The package is not really high quality (at least font and colours wise), and the plastic where the pen is on is also quite cheap, but other than these things, the pen feels and looks high quality. I also really like the fact that you can choose many different colours. I personally chose the purple one. The little cover for the USB-C charging port is quite useless for me as it's too bulky for my IPad cover.

Good quality pen that works on the an iPad that doesn’t support Apple Pencil. Bought this for my daughter’s iPad 9. Has thr same feel as the Apple Pencil. Clearly it won’t have the same functions as the offical one but my kids were happy with it and use it daily.

Llevo unos días usando este lápiz con un iPad air y va muy bien, funciona muy bien para escribir y para interactuar con el iPad, una pega es que por ejemplo cuando estás leyendo un PDF y uso el lápiz lo detecta inmediatamente como lápiz (escribir, subrayar, etc) y no me sirve para pasar de página, puede que todavía no sepa usarlo bien y esta opción exista, o quizás funcione con otra app de lectura. Aún así, muy contenta, me parece que calidad/precio es muy correcto.

Un stylo pour tablette, beau, efficace, rechargeable en usbC en max 30 minutes, autonomie de dingue, 8 heures minimum. Fini les traces de doigts sur l’écran. S’éteint tout seul après 5 minutes. Un accessoire qui économise vos doigts, garde votre écran propre, est beau, j’ai choisi un mauve, et rapport qualité prix imbattable. A recommander absolument.
