    I purchased this pen because I wasn’t ready to commit to the dollar amount for the apple pen. My daughter uses the pen and says it works really well for her edits and other things she does on her iPad.

    Easy to use out of the box. Charge, double tap the back and you are running a pen that can be used on multiple devices simultaneously. No pairing needed. Only wish that it has pressure sensitivity. Definitely a good pen for what I use it for.

    I have no idea if this works better or as well as the Apple Pen. All I can say is it has worked fine, does exactly what I expect it to, has a great battery life, and easy to use.
