If all you're using a digital pencil for is writing it makes no difference. I have an esr digital pencil just for note taking and it's excellent. Saved me spending $219AUD, I spent $33AUD on the ESR Digital Pencil ✏️
Nice to have a less expensive alternative . I'm sort of tempted to get one as a back-up for my Apple Pencil , but I don't know ... honestly, the USB charging cable for the Penoval A4 is a turn off for me.. If I didn't already have an Apple Pencil and I was financially strapped I would probably get the Penoval A4 and just live with the inconvenience of charging it by a cable , but after having used the Apple Pencil with its' easy charging by simply placing it into the pencil dock on the iPad it would be hard to go backwards.
@@impulsiveurge5837 Not fast enough for me when I need a quick charge...similar to how I always wear Bluetooth buds unless I'm making music bcuz the latency is too much. My point is wireless isnt there yet imo to where you don't need wires for anything
@@Byronic19134 wireless is go-to when you don't need time, and convenience in car. But for fast charging when you need you phone after some time the cable is the only, you are right.
No , Apple does not provide an extra tip for Apple Pencil Gen 2. (they did for Gen 1 , but then they pulled a typical Apple move and decided to not provide an extra tip for Gen 2 .)
Pressure allows you to create thin/thick lines based on how hard you press. Tilt allows you to shade better by tilting the pencil. It’s a thicker but lighter brush stroke.
The Kogan pencil is $50 and also charges on the iPad just like the apple pencil only difference is you have turn it on and wait two seconds before it works
between the time stamps 4:39 and 5:46, are those features going to be only exclusive for the apple pencil? also, when you are in goodnotes and you circle a chunk of writing, are you able to do this with the A4 or is that also only for the apple pencil? I hope this made sense! Amazing video and really got me thinking lol!
You probably decided or figured it out, but it looks like he's testing the features that the Apple Pencil is known to have with the Penoval A4. So he's using the Penoval pen and it has the same features.
That pencil tip probably takes like a few cents for Apple to make. If Apple isn't such a greedy piece of faeces, it should have bundled several tips. My $100 Chinese drawing tablet (not smartphone, but like Wacom) came with several replacement tips. $100 for the tablet, the stylus, and replacement tips.
I’ve tried Jamjake before. They have similar features. I recommend JamJake because of the price, the cheapest one is 21 dollars, it comes with the same features as the Penoval, but way cheaper, and a bit more heavy. I recommend Jamjake. (In my experience.)
Unfortunately it is not compatible with Ipad Pro 12.9" 1st and 2nd generation. I was only able to find a cheaper alternative to the Apple pencil that works on 1st and 2nd generation Ipad Pro 12.9". It is CiSiRUN Stylus. It cost me about £15 in UK. No pressure sensitivity or palm rejection but I like it. Charging is good. It has an on/off switch and a pilot light that indicates on/off and charging/fully charged when charging from a connector from a USB port. PS My Apple pencil died after 7 years. It will not charge and cannot be fixed.
I like art and dk if i should get apple pencil incase i decide digital art isnt for me yk, Ive been using a basic stylus but it just isn't great i might as well be using my finger ahah but i thought maybe id get this one instead, But pressure sensitivity and palm rejection were my biggest wants really, I suppose anything is better than what i have atm ahah Thanks for the vid i think ill give the Penoval A4 Pro a go :)
@@MsLady134 I just bought an Ipad 9th gen and this pencil, pairing couldn´t be easier, just turn on the pen and is paired. I´m pretty happy with it, I use it for drawing and it is basically the same as the original minus the pressure sensibility and it just needs an extra step in the app for a thicker or thinner line, it would´ve been nice to have that option but it just doesn´t justify the difference in prices.
In my opinion you need one. It protects your screen from scratches and drops. They’re pretty cheap and won’t ruin the feel of working on the screen either.
There is a major flaw with all these "Pro" pens. There is no pressure sensor at all, which is a major deal breaker and something that should be said first in all the reviews and also written in the box. So you're basically paying $36 just for a piece of wire with a battery.
I desperately need a stylus for tapping keyboard & opening apps, basically everything. I do NOT use for drawing. Having a terrible time locating a stylus for use on keyboard, etc…Need help for iPhone 13 Pro Max-medical issues make this type of use necessary. Thank you!
get this stuff FREE SHIPPING across EU so the price is OK. Otherwise, for roughly same price (this pencil PLUS shipping) I'll get Logitech Crayon locally and no need to wait and bother myself lmfao.

I don't know why it has tilt but not pressure sensitivity. Imo pressure sensitivity is more important than tilt
Pressure sensitivity is the thing which makes the apple pencil 120$ because pressure sensitivity requires rocket science 🚀🔬

how do you not have 100k subs? this is the best vid i found abt these
Working my way up there. Thank you!!
Excellent review! I’m going to go grab an A4 Pro. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
How is the pencil now?
Still works good.

That’s the drawback but its also a fraction of the price. It makes a great backup pencil though.
Seriously charging by cable is that big a turn off? How do u charge ur iPad?

Apple does include one extra tip inside the box look underneath
Only for Gen 1.
I couldn’t find any tips in this box
@@ennvisionn because they didn’t include any.
Yea Gen 2 doesn't come with a spare tip
No , Apple does not provide an extra tip for Apple Pencil Gen 2. (they did for Gen 1 , but then they pulled a typical Apple move and decided to not provide an extra tip for Gen 2 .)
What’s the difference between tilt and pressure sensitivity?
Pressure allows you to create thin/thick lines based on how hard you press. Tilt allows you to shade better by tilting the pencil. It’s a thicker but lighter brush stroke.
@@ennvisionn Also will this work on Ipad air 5?
You’re so lucky the second generation Apple Pencil here in Australia is $200 and the first generation is $150
Apple products are so nice but sooooo expensive
The Kogan pencil is $50 and also charges on the iPad just like the apple pencil only difference is you have turn it on and wait two seconds before it works

nice, but I'll prefer Wacom for PC and iPad for drawing. But, this chinese one is good for kids who can't save stuff from destroying lol.
Great video, excellent for more iPad content
Thank you Bridget!
Dope thumbnail! Good video as well
Thank you!
Thanks 👍 exactly what i needed, 3rd party ✏️ stylus response to goodnotes 😄

Got one for 19.99 on Amazon and is an Apple Pencil killer, just needed some research
Have you had any issues with this A4 PRO ? Any freezing or latency in drawing
Nope. It’s like the Apple Pencil imo

I'm using my penoval styler to write this comment thanks for this video
Nice review 😊
Thank you
But it doesn’t work with CAD programs as SHAPR 3d cause it doesn’t support BT
Does this have a stylus that you can use or at too the pencil.
Is this compatible with iPad 8? - Also Fresco?
Yes, any iPad that allows a bluetooth stylist.
Ho Lee Chit the cost of that repair for the Apple Pencil, outrageous !!
Ikr!
Are there any active stylus with palm rejection that are compatible with iPad Pro 12.9 2015?
This should be compatible with your iPad. Check out the amazon link or their website link to confirm.
Nica video ! Does it works also on the 5th gen iPad Air with M1 ??
Yup! It works on any device that supports apple pencils. You just need Bluetooth.
Does this work with the iPad 9th gen which only works with 1st gen pencil?
It dies :D
Bro I need some art classes from u
Slide in my dms 😂😂
What app you using at 9:18 - 9:27 ?
Procreate. It’s a drawing app, highly recommend it.
I like art and dk if i should get apple pencil incase i decide digital art isnt for me yk,
Ive been using a basic stylus but it just isn't great i might as well be using my finger ahah
but i thought maybe id get this one instead, But pressure sensitivity and palm rejection were my biggest wants really,
I suppose anything is better than what i have atm ahah
Thanks for the vid i think ill give the Penoval A4 Pro a go :)
Glad it helped!
Generation
Seems like a great product..just about to buy one and apparently it will NOT work with my iPad Pro 2017 10.5?
It will work on any iPad that can use the Apple Pencil (either gen 1 or 2). Get it from Amazon, if it doesn’t work then just return it.
@@ennvisionn the description clearly states ipad pro 2018 and newer?
Does it work with ipad po 9'7 a1674 anyone was trying ?
I have an iPad 9generation, will the alternative work?
Yes, as long as you can pair a Bluetooth stylus.
@@ennvisionn honestly I’m not sure what I can pair as far as a stylus because I’ve never tried. I do know that my tablet pairs other devices 🤷🏾♀️
@@MsLady134 I just bought an Ipad 9th gen and this pencil, pairing couldn´t be easier, just turn on the pen and is paired.

@@ferr1909 thank you for this information
Is a screen protector really needed?
In my opinion you need one. It protects your screen from scratches and drops. They’re pretty cheap and won’t ruin the feel of working on the screen either.
I see

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 ?
The penoval is really good but it doesn’t have pressure sensitivity. That might Ben an issue if you’re a professional artist.
@@ennvisionn thank you so much
There are now pencil alternatives that also charges on the iPad itself
Which are? 🤔

Hi, this stylus only works on iPads.
On iPhone this is unfortunately not possible
Next time get some links for UK eu etc
The link should direct you to your countries Amazon store and show the product.
Why don’t you say less than 1/3 instead of 1/2?

Bro 7° 😭🥶🥶🥶
I found one for 10 bucks
Until Pornhub enables this on their website for interactive viewing I will skip pencils all together for my iPad Pro
