Great value IPad pencil
Fabulous pencil - does everything I need it to - Fits nicely in my IPad’s cover, bright white colour so I can easily find it - easy to charge - which isn’t often - lasts well on a single charge. Sturdy. Helpful to have spare tips, but not needed those yet

Better than an Apple pencil
So much better than my Apple Pencil which stopped working at around 60-70% battery and a third of the price. This is accurate, works well for me, I don’t do anything sophisticated, only write and generally use instead of my finger. It does sometimes stop working but reattaching magnetically for a moment sorts it out. It’s comfortable to hold, charges very quickly. Is great with my iPad mini A17 Pro.

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.

Great accessory for your tablet
Great quality and value for money looks like the picture, couldn't turn it on at first, then I realized you double tap the top of the pen. Quick charge. Colour is lovely, matches my tablet cover. Has a magnet inside, attaches to the side of your tablet cover. Writing is smooth. Comfortable to hold, easy to use, recommend

Blown Away!
Absolutely blown away by this stylus. For a fraction of the price of an Apple Pencil, it delivers everything you actually need – smooth writing, solid palm rejection, and zero lag. Setup was instant (no faffing with Bluetooth), and the battery life is seriously impressive. It feels great in hand, has a clean, premium look, and magnetically snaps on like the real deal. Unless you’re a professional artist who needs pressure sensitivity, this is a no-brainer. For note-taking, sketching, or everyday use, it’s basically 90% of the Apple Pencil for about 10% of the price. Genuinely one of the best value tech buys I’ve made. Highly recommend.

Excellent product and a good price too!
This pen is feels like an Apple pencil and works brilliantly, it connected with no problem although you can't have both connected at the same time. The main reason for purchasing this is that I teach online and sometimes I forget to charge the Apple pencil so I needed a backup but I didn't want to shell out for another Apple pencil. For the price, this is a great alternative and I highly recommend it.

Great value for money
Love it! Good quality, easy to use and does the job. Why spend hundreds when you can have an amazing pen for a fraction of the price? I was so pleased that I bought another one for my husband 🙂

Great Value Note-Taking Stylus, Solid Alternative to Apple Pencil
I’ve been using the MetaPencil with my A16 iPad for about a month, mostly for note-taking, and I’m quite impressed. It feels light and premium, giving the sensation of a high-end stylus at a fraction of the cost of the Apple Pencil. For anyone who wants a reliable and stylish option without paying Apple’s price, this is a solid choice. The pencil works very well for everyday note-taking. It responds to pressure reasonably accurately and feels natural when writing or sketching quick diagrams. It isn’t as smooth as the Apple Pencil, and occasionally it can lag during intensive use, but for most tasks, it performs very satisfactorily. On the downside, the battery life isn’t outstanding, and the charging port doesn’t have a protective cover like the Apple Pencil does. These are minor inconveniences but worth keeping in mind if you plan to use it heavily or worry about wear and tear over time. Overall, I would recommend the MetaPencil for its value. It’s a great choice for students, casual note-takers, or anyone who wants a premium-feeling stylus without spending a lot. That said, if you write a lot or rely heavily on the Apple ecosystem, the Apple Pencil might be worth the extra investment since it’s smoother, more responsive, and better integrated with iPadOS. In short: excellent for the price, premium feel, solid performance, but the Apple Pencil still wins for heavy users.

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.

Excellent Apple Pencil Alternative Smooth, Reliable, and Affordable
I’ve been using this stylus for a few weeks now with my iPad, and I’m genuinely impressed with how well it performs—especially considering it’s not an Apple-branded product. Setup was quick and hassle-free. It connected instantly without needing Bluetooth pairing, which I appreciated. The pen feels comfortable in hand, with a nice weight that makes it easy to use for extended periods whether I’m taking notes, sketching, or navigating apps. What stood out most to me is the responsiveness. There’s very little lag, and it writes smoothly across the screen with good precision. Palm rejection works surprisingly well, allowing me to rest my hand naturally while writing without stray marks. Battery life has also been solid. I can go several days of regular use before needing to recharge, and the charging process is straightforward. Overall, this is a great option if you’re looking for a reliable stylus for everyday use without paying the premium for the Apple version. I’d definitely recommend it for students, casual artists, or anyone who uses their iPad for note-taking

Toller Stift mit kleinen Punkten die man wissen muss
Ein toller Stift. Habe den Apple Pencil mit Magnet, von einem anderen Gerät. Der ist nicht mit dem regulären IPad Modell kompatibel also muss ein anderer Stift her. Ich blättere sicher nicht nochmal 80€ an Apple also probiere ich den hier. Ich bin sehr zufrieden. Der Stift reagiert praktisch gleich. Ein und ausschalten ist kinderleicht und reagiert auch echt nur wenn man es will. Der Akku hält auch lange und lädt relativ schnell. Tilt controls funktionieren auch top. Man muss sich halt bewusst sein, dass es keine Pressure sensitivity gibt, aber sonst steht der Stift dem Apple Pencil in nichts nach meiner Meinung nach. Noch ein wichtiger Hinweis: man kann nur entweder diesen Stift oder eine Apple Pencil verbunden haben. Beides scheint zu Problemen zu führe, hat es zumindest an meinem 2021 iPad Pro. Als ich dann den einen vollständig getrennt hatte, funktionierte wieder alles. Warum? Da bin ich überfragt wie genau die Apple Pencil Kommunikation funktioniert, mein Tipp wäre das sie den gleichen Channel versuchen anzusprechen und das IPad da durcheinander kommt.
