    This “pencil” for my iPad 9th gen does everything I need it to do and has practically the same functionality as the more expensive Apple Pencil for less than half the price.

    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.

    Great pen for a great price. Have had no problems and works well with my daughters IPad. I also got a hard case for her that had a place for the pen so not to get lost. Works great and has held up for over a year now.

    Definitely not as nice as the Apple Pencil it self but tough to beat the price. The battery hilds up well so not a big deal that you have to plug it in for charging. The flat edge is also nice so it dosnt roll away when setting down.

    Perfect, great price does what I need it to do (take notes) and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg like the Apple product. I use this pencil with my iPad at work and it makes my workflow so much better

    Only had a short time but seems to work fine with an ipad and much more affordable. No way did I want to drop $100 for something my kid is inevitably going to lose or break. This was a good alternative

    The pen works just as expected. Sometimes it does not grab on properly to the iPad itself. I do have to move it around for the magnet to attach

    I really liked how easy it was to set up just lightly tapped the top and it automatically started working with my ipad. Feels nice and weighs well like solid pencil. No lag when drawing either.

    If your broke like me and can really afford the apple pen this would definitely be your best bet its almost exactly like one the only difference is that you have to double tap the to turn it on.

    I went out of town and forgot to bring my apple pencil pro and didn't want to buy another one when I already had one waiting for me at home. This was a good purchase for the price. It gets the job done.
