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

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 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!

Works well. Much cheaper than an Apple Pencil and does all I need it to do!

Great IPAD Pencil
Works fantastically with IPAD 10 Gen, doesn't switch off whilst writing like my last one which was another make. Great value, keeps charge all day and night.

Pleasantly surprised, and great customer service
Brilliant for the price. I upgraded iPad and my old Apple Pencil was no longer compatible. I didn’t use it enough to justify buying again, but then spotted this. It works just as well for my usage, it connects without needing to pair yet the iPad still knows a pencil is being used. Functions well and magnetically attaches. The first pen I received didn’t have the strong magnet and fell to the floor, breaking the tip in a way I couldn’t remove it, however a quick WhatsApp chat with support had a replacement out free of charge next day. If you don’t need everything from a pro pencil and are happy with a basic that just works I would absolutely suggest this over the Apple own budget pencil (which is still far from budget for what it is)

Not for iPad Pro M5
The magnets are in the wrong place for the iPad Pro M5 2025 - it does just about attach, but not well at all, quite loosely. However, otherwise it is fab - such a good price for what it does, charges well, good sensitivity.

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’m really impressed with this iPad pen. Even though it’s not an Apple Pencil, it works amazingly well and does everything I need it to do for work. It’s very responsive and smooth to use, whether I’m writing, navigating, or working on different tasks on my iPad. I also like that it comes with different tips, which is really convenient and makes it easy to switch them out when needed. The battery life is another big plus. It lasts a long time between charges, so I’m not constantly worrying about it dying while I’m using it. Overall, it’s a great alternative if you want a reliable iPad pen without paying the higher price for the Apple one.

I loved the pen performance and quality so when my child lost his , which is very normal for him, I ordered the exact same one. The pen connects straight out of the box once turned on with the 2 taps . Also is chargeable and so affordable. Can’t justify buying the Apple one

Muy contento con el producto. Es ligero y funciona bien. Se conecta rápido y la duración de la bateria es competente. A veces se me resbala un poco de las manos, esa es la unica pega que le puedo poner.

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.
