Perfect pen
The pencil is well designed, comfortable to hold and it works perfectly. Charges well and last up to 3 hours constantly being used. Very budget friendly, it is compatible with my IPad Air 4th generation. The weight is just like regular writing pencil ✍️.

Won’t need the Apple Pencil (90% of the time)
This stylus is fully compatible with my iPad Air 5th Gen (10.9”). It charges very quickly, and the battery lasts long enough for extended use. It feels comfortable for writing, simple sketching, and everyday navigation on the iPad. One thing to note is that it does not support wireless charging. However, it does have a built-in magnetic side, so it attaches securely to compatible iPads, making it convenient to carry and store. The product looks exactly as shown in the listing photos. If you want a protective case or replacement tips, the accessories made for the Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) appear to fit, as they seem to have the same dimensions. If you’re not willing or able to spend the money on an Apple Pencil, this is an excellent alternative at a great price. For about 90% of everyday use, it performs exceptionally well, offering smooth writing and impressive accuracy. I would definitely recommend it.

Very affordable iPad pencil that works great!
Worked great! Quick charge, I like the auto-off after 5 minutes to conserve battery life. I like the double tap on the end to turn it on. Very easy to use and accurate.

Best quality and lightweight
I received it yesterday, so, I can say it exceeded my expectations. The setup was very simple: I just turned it on and it started working immediately with my iPad, without needing to connect via Bluetooth. What impressed me the most was its precision. It’s perfect for taking notes, writing, annotating PDF documents, and doing basic drawings. Writing feels very natural, and the palm rejection works really well, so I can rest my hand on the screen with out creating accidental marks. Another strong point is the battery. It charges very quickly via USB-C and lasts many hours of continuous use, so I rarely have to worry about recharging it. The build quality is also very good. It feels lightweight, comfortable in the hand, and the materials give a sense of a well-made product. It includes replacement tips, which adds extra value. It’s worth noting that it doesn’t have pressure sensitivity like higher-end Apple Pencils, so professional illustrators might miss that feature. However, for students, professionals, and anyone who takes notes or does occasional drawings, it offers excellent performance for a fraction of the price. Overall, I consider it one of the best alternatives to the Apple Pencil in terms of value for money, and I would definitely buy it again.

Perfect pen
Love it! I use it to color on my iPad and it works perfectly. I love the tap on the top to turn it on and off. The only complaint I have is I feel like the battery life isn’t long but I could be wrong because I zone out with coloring and do it for hours. It’s very sleek looking and I love that. The material it is made with is comfortable and feels great in your hand. Perfect cheaper option.

Metapen has blown away the Apple Pencil
I do not have a bad word to say about this pen. I used an Apple Pencil for about two years before switching to Metapen instead because Apple Pencil broke and the transition was absolutely seamless, if not better. First off, connecting the Metapen is a breeze. All you have to do is double tap the top of the pen and it's immediately turned on. With the Apple Pencil, I usually had to plug it into my iPad before it would even be connected. Metapen connects much easier than Apple Pencil. As for quality of writing and drawing, there is not a clear winner, but multiple pros and cons. Apple Pencil adjusts better to tilting the pen, so if you're writing on the side of the pen to increase line size (I mostly use the pencil for art), Apple is more sensitive to slant. Metapen, however, certainly reacts better to pressure. Apple can be wildly inconsistent with line size and pressure, whereas Metapen is more consistent with line size. Overall, there is not a difference in the writing and drawing functionality, and Metapen does the same things as Apple Pencil for much less money. As for durability, that is no contest- Metapen wins. My Apple Pencil was literally shattered by the time I had to stop using it- it had electrical tape on it and Silly Putty holding the tip on. It broke way too often. I dropped it once and the cap on the charger was immediately fractured. The Metapen does not break, however. It has been trapped under books, bags, water bottles, you name it, and it's still kicking just fine. Metapen is much more durable than Apple Pencil, if only for the fact that I don't have to watch it like a newborn the way I did with my Apple Pencil. As for charging and battery life, Metapen has its pros and cons. Battery life of the pencil is about as long as the Apple Pencil's, if not a bit shorter. I could often get a week or so out of my Apple Pencil, where I get 4-5 days from the Metapen. That said, with the amount you're paying for the Metapen as opposed to what you pay for an Apple Pencil, there's an obvious choice. I spend a lot of time with my pencil writing and drawing as well, so I probably use the pencil more than the average user. Additionally, the Metapen recharges faster than the Apple Pencil, and you don't have to stop using your whole device for it to recharge. You can just plug it into a cord instead of inserting the pencil into the device like you're broadcasting to outer space. It is also easy to see how much battery you have with the Metapen. With the Apple Pencil you can see the exact percentage, but the Metapen has a small light that changes color depending on how much battery your pencil has left. I have found this feature to be quite helpful. The overall pick? Easily Metapen. I have not noticed any cons that I'd trade for an Apple Pencil for, and the value was much more worth it. Don't blow your money on a fancy stylus from Apple, give your $14 to Metapen and move on. The Metapen is just as effective and even more functional.

Fantastic budget-friendly Apple Pencil alternative
The Metapen A8 is a fantastic budget-friendly Apple Pencil alternative. It delivers on pixel-precise writing, incredible 4-minute fast charging, and convenient magnetic attachment. While it lacks pressure sensitivity, its price point and overall performance make it a great daily driver for note-taking. It's smooth and sleek. Things to consider: No Pressure Sensitivity: Artists who rely heavily on varied line thickness based on how hard they press will miss this feature. Magnetic Feature Limits: The magnetic snap is a huge plus, but it won’t fit perfectly or attach to older generation iPads (like the iPad Air 3rd Gen, older Mini models, or early standard iPads). Wired Charging Only: Despite the magnetic snap, it does not charge wirelessly off the iPad. You'll need to plug in the USB-C cable to the top of the pen. Thus the 4 stars. If you want the feel and utility of an Apple Pencil without the premium price tag, the Metapen A8 is a superb daily tool for students and business professionals. It performs nearly all the same essential functions for a fraction of the cost.

Nice pen! Nice quality and durability (battery and performance wise)
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.
