Review: Excellent alternative to the Apple Pencil - I bought the Metapen Pencil Air8 for my iPad Pro 11" (2022), and it works brilliantly. Pairing was straightforward, and it connected instantly without any issues. The pencil feels comfortable to hold and is very responsive in use. Writing and drawing are smooth and precise, with no noticeable lag, making it ideal for note-taking, sketching, and everyday use. It performs exactly as described and works seamlessly with compatible apps on the iPad. Battery life has been very good so far, and charging is quick and convenient. The build quality is solid, and it feels well-made for the price. For anyone who wants a reliable stylus without paying the premium price of an Apple Pencil, this is a great option. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase. It offers excellent value for money, works perfectly with my iPad Pro, and does everything I need it to. Highly recommended.
Review: Good price. - Really surprised at the quality of the Metapen Pencil. I was dubious because of the low price but it does everything I need. Feels good in the hand, holds its power and charges quickly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good price.
*by K***P on 29 December 2025*

Really surprised at the quality of the Metapen Pencil. I was dubious because of the low price but it does everything I need. Feels good in the hand, holds its power and charges quickly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ For the money it is a good alternative
*by D***D on 22 September 2025*

This meta pen has been a good pen for the money. I have another cheap branded one aswell as the apple pencil 1 and 2. The actual way in which it writes and draws is very nice. Connection was easy, just switch on and it works instantly. There's no lags in responsiveness and so far the battery hasn't run out. Thats about a weeks worth of using it 1-3 hours a day. Only downside for me is the weight. It's a lot lighter than the other pens I have and I believe that's because it doesn't have the magnet inside or it. At first this made me feel like the pen felt cheaper than the alternatives I've used but it actually means you can go a little softer with it.
