@@tspaziovirtuale3615 You're right, I can see how it's crucial to other artists, It's understandable from an industry POV that every feature adds value to the product which is why this is cheaper than the apple pencil and doesn't have all those attractive features.
My first pen is Apple Pen 2 gen, but I mainly take notes in daily study. I bought a Yebos pen in October. It maintains sensitivity and has no lag. The long battery life of 18 hours means I only have to charge it once every two weeks! So I support apple pen alternative
I use the AP almost daily. But this alternative looks great. Having the ability to turn if off is great. For the price, this could be a great option for my three kids school needs.
@@annabethroberts873 I think some digital artists like using the pressure. There should also be a setting in the app to turn it off if you don't like it. But the off-brand pencil is still good.
Hi Fernando, Really well done. I had all of my questions answered by your no nonsence, to the point review and that's appreciated bunches. Thanks for your time and efforts, Cheers my friend ... Dave
Update: Both arrived and were simple plug and play, np pairing involved, and I'm confused, there's literally no difference between this and an Apple Pencil, (except double tapping to turning it on and charging it using USB C). A literal bargain, and one that stays magnetically attached. If you want a quality, Apple Pencil alternative at 20% of the cost, just buy one. Thanks for the heads up, I've just bought two from Amazon for £23 each :) Then cancelled, make sure you look for the model with TILT & Palm rejection, £32 each :) They do a cheaper one with no mention of tilt/palm rejection.
@@Kdotontop378 I am not an artist but own the AP2 and there’s no difference I can tell other than the charging and its a little lighter. I bought from Amazon so I could test and return if not completely happy, I kept it
I tried commenting on the audio upgrade video but lost it and couldn’t find the video. I think the sound is better and more natural with the original system. The new wireless mic has some unpleasant artifacts in the sound, making it sound a little dull and compressed. My recommendation would be to put some sound absorption in the room, and get something like a zoom field recorder instead, and a boom stand to elevate the height of the mic to a little closer to your head but out of the shot.
Just received the new stylus you demonstrated this week. No tip for writing or drawing. Bottom came off. Sent e-mail to customer service with no reply. Directions sheet type so small; difficult to read. How can I see the video again?
This is the only time that the RUclips algorithm worked well for me (apart from the videos from SomeGadgetGuy). Honestly, I was looking for a replacement stylus (I use an Adonit Note +, and I've burned my second one due to bad battery), and today I got this notification from you. Definitely going to give that Penoval A4 Pro a try. Will use your links. Just waiting for the time to pull the trigger once payday arrives.
The apple one has a chip. And from my research the china stuff dont have one. So I think there is no one for like 30 dollars. The logitech pen for 60 dollars should be bit better then the china pens but worse then the apple pencil. Maybe just buy a used one.
I’ve bought one, thanks for your review. Today it’s arrive to mi home in Argentina. When you turn on, see any pop up in yout iPad to indicate is conectted? Could yo see battery indicator in the widget iPad? I cannot. 🙏🏼 thanks
I have one. Does it seem to drag a little bit to you? Even with the paperlike film it feels like it is rougher as I write. I wonder if the Apple Pencil tips will work with it.
Looks interesting for notetaking and basic scribbling but for professional drawing, i sincerely doubt it. I really would like to ear the opinion of a pro artist and how it behaves with pro apps…
Good video. This pencil works with iPads 2018 and newer which is a wide range now. I have a Pro 2017 10.5, so I just dip out on these 2018 + alternatives. But it will work on iPad mini 5. Thank you!
Hmm, I don’t know, Fernando. I have so much stuff to keep charged that just forgetting about the Apple Pencil and knowing that if I keep it over my iPad Pro it’ll be ready to use at 100% charge every single time, is more than enough to justify the price. BTW, I bought it used for $89 on eBay a year go, and it has been working flawlessly ever since.
@@Youtopia-bj My iPad Pro is second generation. I don’t know the year. Well this version or generation work with the pencil you are describing in the video. Thank you. And happy Thanksgiving
Know one who as watched this video better not buy Apple Pencil. This £100 less and the only thing it can’t do is charge magnetically, but it can connect magnetically and you can charge of the iPad’s usb c (iPad Pro, Air & Mini).

It doesn’t do everything. No pressure sensitive! For artists that’s the one this we all need.

Sounds good for productivity use, but no pen pressure is a deal breaker for most art.

Great review. However, unlike the apple pencil, it also doesn't have pressure sensitivity.
Is pressure sensitive that important? I’m not an expert at digital art but when I do draw it just seems like a problem than a solution

Does this pen have the pressure sensitivity option..like where it fades if u want?
No pressure sensitivity on this however
How / why are the apps on the bottom of home screen grey ?
Does this have pressure sensitivity?

Sadly no other pencil offers pressure sensitivity 🥺🥺🥺
How abt pressure sensitivity?

Have you tried Ugreen pencil for iPad?
Works with ipad 2021 pro?
I have a older gen 2 iPad Pro 12.9 “ will this pen work with it as well
Would this work on the iPad 9th generation?
Looks interesting for notetaking and basic scribbling but for professional drawing, i sincerely doubt it. I really would like to ear the opinion of a pro artist and how it behaves with pro apps…
How much time does the nibs lasts?
I wonder if there is a version for the entry level iPad 🤔
i like to buy apple 9th gen .. for drawing purpose..,but pencil rate is high..can i buy this pencil for alternative ? for drawing ? is that worth ?
2 questions!
Would it work on a 7th gen iPad?
Also what apps would this pen work on, currently I use sketchbook
can I use apple pencil replacement tips on this device?
Does the pen charge itself when it’s stick to the iPad’s edge?
Thanks for the review. I just ordered one for Christmas 🎄 for me!!! Ho, Ho, Ho!
What app are you using to draw in your ipad? Great review, My little daughter is going to get a cool present for this January 5th 👍🏼
it should just be the normal notes app!
If you buy an Ipad 2021 model with the home button, can the pencil be clicked magnetically?
It doesn’t work with CAD programs like SHAPR 3D…. cause it doesn’t support BlueTooth …. and that’s an important difference.
Good video. This pencil works with iPads 2018 and newer which is a wide range now. I have a Pro 2017 10.5, so I just dip out on these 2018 + alternatives. But it will work on iPad mini 5. Thank you!

Says in Amazon that it turns off after 20 mins, not 5?
Hi! Where did you get the iPad wallpaper from?
Any word on the tip replacements?
does snap onto the ipad like the apple pencil? i saw pictures on the website but i wanted to make sure it does
Is there pressure sensitivity
Can you charge with usb c to c from the iPad?
is it pressure sensitive which is need for drawing
Sadly, for professional drawing, pressure sensitiviy is only open for Apple pencil
Hi, I have and IPAD 7 gen, I just started using procreate and I need a great alternative, you think this will work on IPAD for Procreate?
Will it work with the iPad Mini 4?
Sounds like a very affordable quality substitute! Thanks
does it have the pressure sensitivity drawing line thickness feature in PROCREATE?? just want to make sure..
Hi is it the same size as the apple pencil like can i use the same sleeves on both?
it's a little bit bigger(9.5mm) than apple pencil(8.9mm)
Does it have pressure sensitivity? Idk how it charges. Tilt is great but pressure sensitivity is very important to my I want to draw
will it work on 2017 ipad pro 10.5
yes it will,! just obviously wont magnetically attach
I bought the Apple Pencil to but it would not work with the age of my iPad. Will the one that you were demonstrating today work with an older iPad
It works with iPad produced after 2018

Yes, it works perfectly with function of ios system
Can I get one big fan your
not a bad cheaper alternative, but it is NOT the same as the apple pencil. Like every other cheaper alternative, it lacks pressure sensitivity.
You can buy another stylus that's identical to this one for 10 bucks on amazon. This thing is overpriced.
Shame it's US only...
It’s on Amazon 🇬🇧 too
skip this video......................The most important thing NO PRESSURE SENSITIVITY.....thanks for the wast of time.
Check out the goojodoq pencil 13th gen its around $25 and it very similar to apple pencil also it can charge wireless in the iPad pro too!
