Charge doesn't take long and lasts for long. Works smoothly and just like an apple pen. I love the double tap to activate feature. I have nothing bad to say here honestly, everything works as expected and I love that!I've also had this pen for a few months now and it's still working as great as ever, in comparison to apple pens that may stop working after time.

The pencil was functioning very good as needed. No crazy buttons or setup needed. Super user friendly. But mine stopped working for a bit and had to contact the seller and quickly got a replacement which was so awesome since I needed it fast. It works quickly with no lag and right out of the box. I’ve lost my pencil before and just buy this one again and again because it’s exactly what I need.

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.

No set up or pairing required, works directly out of the box. Charges quickly and comes with extra pen tips. Charge lasts a good amount of time with regular use. Definitely find that the pen doesn’t always respond when clicking on things or writing, requiring you to reclick or start over. But considering the price compared to the real thing, I think this is tolerable.

Absolutely love this pencil. I’ve gone through quite a few pencils just to find the one that works perfectly with my iPad. This one is it.Now it doesn’t work on android tablets (or phones at all), but it works perfectly on my iPad. Quality is great. Accuracy is perfect. They give you a couple of extra tips. No lag and no issues so far.

It works great, to turn it on is so easy just by double tap the top part, works all the time. My only gripe is the battery life doesn't seems to last that long for continue usage. Though it charge quite fast. The built is solid, feels premium albeit it does feels top heavy, just slightly. It attached magnetically to the top of ipad air but chrging still needs usb-C cable.

The accuracy and Reaction time is great. I love how it is touch to turn it on. Grip is good. I like the sleek design. It comes with extra tips which is great because I have already dropped it on a concrete floor like 5 times. So the pen is durable. I’d definitely buy it again. Great price. Great value

It works as a great, affordable alternative to the Apple Pen. I’m not a digital artist so I can’t really make an assessment on how it compares to Apple Pen for high skilled digital art. For basic use, it works as a good stylus and note taking pen. It worked in Notes, Pages, and any text field I tested. It works with the Scribble feature as well. It converted my sloppy handwriting into text. The conversion is not instantaneous, but I think that’s my device not the pen.My only complaint is the tingling sensation it gives in my hand and up by forearm. It becomes unpleasant after a few minutes and I have to set the pen down. I think it’s the electronic field generated by the pen. It feels the same as when you place your hand on a power box. If you’re sensitive to that sensation, you know how that feels. I will be returning the pen because of it. That sensation is not unique to this brand of pen, I’ve felt it with other brands as well. It doesn’t create that unpleasant sensation when it’s powered off, but then it doesn’t work on the screen.
