    Pretty good pen with the price point. I will say it has it moments where it doesn’t work properly but it was a cheap alternative.

    Buggy Pen After Months of Usage

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    When I used this product for sometime now I experience a delay in the feedback. Unlike, pulling the peripheral out the box the pen is declining in performance but it was a better alternative than the overpriced apple pencil. Despite the product features the pen does sometimes cut off while in use but you are getting the alternative of the apple intended product.

    It’s my first pencil for my iPad, and I don't have too high expectations, but I don’t like the battery life. I charge it for one full day, and by the next day, after using it for half a day, it’s asking me to charge it again. But overall pretty good besides that.
