    I saved money and bought this instead of an Apple pencil. Don't be stingy like me. Buy the Apple pencil and be happy. This is a really crummy pencil and I would never recommend it to a friend. I would recommend it to someone I didn't like.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Extremely Poor Product

    This was a complete waste of $50.00. Don't buy this product if you are wanting to use it on an iPhone 12. I specifically asked the two (2) sales associates at my local Best Buy if it would work on my iPhone as I am older and wanted something to make using the features of the phone easier and both said Oh yes, it will work perfectly. Well, they were WRONG! And to beat it all there are no instructions in box.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Consider your options

    The pen itself works as expected and rarely find hiccups when actually in use. The massive downside as mentioned in other post are the tips. I’ve now went though 2 tips with very minimal use. The first tip lasted about 20 day span with minimal use the second tip even shorter now I can’t use the pen without a replacement. With the original cost and a possible replacement cost your close to the Apple pen and might be worth the investment.
