Decent product and good value
I’m very happy with this purchase. It arrived promptly and worked pretty much first time, straight out of the box. No special pairing required with my iPad Mini 6. It’s the first time I’ve had one of these, so I’m not an expert, but it seems to work exactly as it should. Easy to activate and turn off. Decent battery life and quick to charge. Seems also to work accurately on the screen. But actual writing takes some practice because the screen doesn’t offer any resistance like paper does with a pen. But for lazy browsing, it’s just the job! At under £20 and with the provenance of many good reviews, I think this one represents great value.

Excellent product
Was considering buying an Apple Pencil and I’m so pleased that I didn’t, this is a fraction of the cost and works beautifully, able to write as normal, length is excellent, grips just like a normal pencil and very sensitive so you don’t have to press on just write normally, highly recommend

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.

User friendly!
Brilliant device and easy to use. Just tap the top of the own twice and it’s on, tap twice again and it’s off! Great value!

Great pen, excellent price
I’ve been using this pencil on my iPad 11 A16 and it’s been great! I use it for note taking and colouring apps. I’m left-handed, and have had no issues using this pencil. A gentle double tap on top switches the pencil on, and the charge seems to last well so far. As a few users have mentioned, Rosie at head office is lovely and happy to help.

Excellent pencil for iPad at reasonable price
Excellent pencil, pairs easily in seconds with iPad. Works with Scribble on all major note taking apps including Word and OneNote converting handwriting to text. Bought a second one for my daughter.

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.
