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.

Smooth Pen
The Metapen Pencil A8 is an impressive and affordable alternative to the Apple Pencil. It connected instantly with my iPad and works flawlessly for note-taking, drawing, and navigation. The tilt sensitivity and pixel precision are excellent—lines respond smoothly with no noticeable lag.I also love the fast charging feature; just a few minutes of charge gives hours of use, which is super convenient. The pen feels solid and comfortable to hold, and the magnetic attachment keeps it secure when not in use.

Great price and works well
Easy to pair, easy to use. Compatible with iPad A16

Great Pencil, but didn’t work the way I expected
I was very excited about this Metapen Pencil as I have heard great things aboutb Metapens in general but I was a bit dissapointed that this one had some lagging issues. I got this pencil for my IPad Mini A17 since this one was supposed to be compatable with the IPad Mini’s. I love the quality of the pencil and its ability to hold a charge for a long time but when using with my IPad it did have some issues with skipping or lagging. The only way I could make this one work is by changing the pencil tip to the original Apple Pencil tip even then there were still some issues. I love the size of the pencil and that it did stick to the side of my IPad without falling off easily and the touch sensitivity of this pencil is great. My main concern was just the lagginess and skipping when I was taking notes. It was very easy to set the pencil up coming out of the box and the bluetooth paired with my IPad very easily.

Actually blown away by this. I have almost no complaints since I started using this. I had originally purchased a different brand of stylus pencil for my iPad back in July when I got it. I recently had to buy a new one because the other one got water damaged. It was frustrating because I just had bought replacement tips for it. It was the best thing that could’ve happened. This particular stylus that I am reviewing is so much better. My husband actually found it looking through reviews on different products and I decided to take my chance on it because of the good reviews and I am so glad I did! This pencil is so much lighter than the one I was originally using. This one has more of a plastic lightweight feel but weighted enough that it’s comfortable in your hand but so much lighter than the other one. It is slightly bigger in circumference but again it is still much lighter. The tips do not fully connect to the pencil when you twist it so there’s this tiny visible gap. The gap is not affecting anything, but it’s the way you can differentiate this particular pencil from a real Apple Pencil. That doesn’t matter to me in the slightest, but I am just noting it so you do not think it is broken! Just sits like that once you feel it is secure, it is, it just has that tiny gap. The other unbelievably exceptional aspect of this pencil is it on and off method. I so far I’m not able to get the Bluetooth to connect to the complementary app it comes with, but it’s on and off feature make up for that. My previous stylus pencil took holding down and for lengthy periods of time in order to turn it on. There was no way to shut it off on my own either I had to wait for it too, and I would find it would constantly drain the battery and need to be charged. This is not optimal when I’m only using one charger for both pieces. This particular stylist pencil has a tap twice on tap twice off method and it is immediate. This is phenomenal! This is my favourite aspect of the pencil next to its lightweight feel. The other thing I really like about this pencil is it grips that is another highlight to me. It is a lot more grippy than the previous one maybe it has to do with the material it’s made out of? So much more efficient and easier to play my games and do absolutely everything with. I will not buy another pencil brand after this, this is one of the best purchases I have made on Amazon.

I recently bought the Meta Pencil on Amazon and I’m really happy with it. One thing I love is that it doesn’t need Bluetooth to work. You just turn it on and start writing or drawing right away—very simple and smooth.Compared to my previous UGREEN Pencil, the difference is big. UGREEN needs Bluetooth to connect, and even after connecting, I kept experiencing broken or uneven lines when writing or drawing. It was really frustrating and didn’t feel natural at all.With the Meta Pencil, I never had broken lines. The writing is smooth, responsive, and accurate. It feels more like a real pen on the screen. So far, it has been reliable and worth the price.Overall:✔️ Easy to use (no Bluetooth needed)✔️ Smooth writing with no broken lines✔️ Works immediately when powered on❗️ Much better performance than my previous UGREEN PencilHighly recommended.
