My old Apple Pencil unfortunately isn’t compatible with my new iPad so I decided to try this pencil out before splurging on a new Apple one. I was so shocked at how easy this pencil is to use. You just double tap to turn it on and it’s ready to go. No need to pair it or anything. It’s like magic! In my opinion, it’s easier to use than the official Apple one. I charged it once and I haven’t had to charge it again and I’ve been using it all week. The battery is amazing! I’ve used it for note taking, drawing, and playing games and so far it has worked great for everything. I highly recommend buying this product! Don’t spend unnecessary money on the Apple one!

This stylus works just as well as the Apple Pencil but costs much less. It connects fast and writes smoothly with no lag. The precision is solid for notes, drawing, and everyday use. The magnetic attachment is a nice touch and keeps it secure on the iPad. The fast charge is a big plus. A few minutes of charging gives you plenty of use, which makes it easy to rely on throughout the day. If you want the same performance without paying Apple prices, this is a great choice. Read more
I am really impressed with the Metapen Pencil A8. Just like my other stylus, this one works almost as good as an Apple Pencil. It is a fantastic alternative for anyone with a 2018 or newer iPad who wants precision without the high cost. Performance & Feel: The connection is seamless and there is virtually no lag when I'm writing or drawing. I especially like the tilt sensitivity, which makes shading feel very natural. It’s been a reliable tool for my daily iPad use, and the battery charges incredibly fast—just a few minutes of charging gives me hours of use. Why I recommend it: Great Value: It delivers premium performance for a fraction of the name-brand price. Fast Charging: The USB-C charging is super quick and convenient. Natural Writing: It has palm rejection that actually works, so I can rest my hand on the screen while I work. This has been a solid addition to my setup, and I honestly don't feel like I'm missing out on anything by not having the official Apple version! Read more
A well priced alternative to Apple Pencil that comes with link to an app store note taking app. Arrives with a charge , owners manual in multiple languages, two extra tips, a cap for the usb-c charger that has a usb-a connector for power end. Bundled software allows you to test the pencil . Hard to gauge durability but seems well made. I like the pens capabilities so far and find it easy to use and hold. There are cheaper alternatives but this is more than just a stylus given the software integration . Read more
Great product and even better customer support I originally had a small issue getting the pen to properly stick to my iPad, but the seller was incredibly helpful and responsive. They guided me through the issue and even helped me get the updated version of the item, which works perfectly now. The stylus itself is very accurate, smooth, and easy to use for note-taking and everyday tasks. Battery life is solid and charging is fast, which is a big plus. What really stood out was the seller’s customer service—they went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied. Highly recommend both the product and the seller! Read more
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. Read more
