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!

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.

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.

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

Very nice pen!
Got this pen for my iPad (9th Generation). It works really and is compatible. The only thing I would say is it was a little difficult to work out how the pen turned on when I first got it. Luckily it doesn’t need a Bluetooth connection!

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.

Best budget alternative to Apple Pencil
If I could give this 6 stars I would. I bought this 6 months ago and have used it every day since. I really like the ‘official’ Apple Pencil. It is expensive, one version doesn’t always work with the next generation iPad and it has more feature than I need. So I thought I’d try this as an alternative. It’s absolutely brilliant. Metapen is a very practical design, charges v quickly - Metapen made a design compromise with the usb-c charging point - The pen does everything I want. It seamlessly connects, very easy to switch on and off. It is very responsive, fits comfortably in my hand, and I don’t worry about losing it… I write very few reviews and I have not received a free pen or any incentive to write this review. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Good pencil for its price, but the magnetic attachment is decent.
Overall, It is a good pencil. It does what it needs to do. I like writting on it and it feels like a real pencil. It is long lasting, it survives my long study. The magnetic part is weak and it can easily removed when it’s attached to the tablet. I consider this as bad because it doesn’t stay well, but it’s decent enough. Better than not working magnetic attachment.

I’m giving it 5 stars because the pencil works perfectly with my iPad. The connection was quick, it responds very well when writing or drawing, and the precision is excellent. The battery life is also very good, so it can be used for quite a long time without any issues. But what I would especially like to highlight is the customer service from Metapen, which was truly excellent. They were very attentive, responded quickly to my questions, and made sure everything was working properly. It’s really appreciated when a brand stands behind its product with such efficient customer support. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this purchase and I would definitely recommend it.

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.
