Moleskine, Smart Writing Set, Notebook and Pen + Smartpen, Notebook with Black Hard Cover - Suitable to Use with Pen Moleskine +, Black Color - Dotted Sheets

Not a big review writer, but this has been worth it.My son spotted this in a Moleskine shop in London and we got a demo. I like my gadgets and tried a pen like this years ago, it was alright but how the technology has moved on.I am already using this pen and notebook in all my work meetings and hardly think about it now. (Although I have to admit to forgetting to turn it on a couple of times and had to rewrite a few lines but I think that is more about teaching old dogs new tricks)It is amazing as I don't have to have the app running but love how it catches up. I write lists, draw mind maps, take meeting notes just like I did before but now it takes less time to write them up as the transcribing is very impressive. It isn't perfect but it is good enough to save a lot of time. It struggles with my bullets and action boxes but I personally would worry if it was too perfect as I wouldn't pay attention and just send it out without thinking. Reviewing the points after the meeting is what I need as I add all the nuances and info that I didn't have time to write in the meeting.A bonus to this new way of working is that I can email diagrams and notes to staff right from the book which has saved time in meetings, not having to scan or photograph the scribblings of a madman.So would I recommend it to someone else? I am not sure I need to as colleagues have watched and have been impressed, noting down the details which speaks volumes to me. I am very pleased with it and continue to use it everyday.I look forward to new notebooks and further app enhancements as I have a feeling that there is more this technology can do for us.

BrilliantI was worried when I read some of the reviews but I had no problems at all. Made sure the pen was fully charged, downloaded the app, started writing in book. I have brought another book and I run the two books together, brilliant. Thank you. Ann x

Great pen. Only problem, it cannot recognize quickly written text as good!

This product does not work and Moleskine customer support is amongst the worst I have ever experienced.I don't like to write negative reviews but in this case I need to warn other potential customers of Moleskine that this is in no way up to their high standards. Not only does the Smart Pen not read writing, their customer support is exceptionally poor. After purchasing this Pen I tried it, it did not work at all. I went to online support and phone support who asked me to turn it off and on again a few times. This was not successful.I then said that I wanted to return it. No response. I asked again. No response. After 3 months of this I was fed up with being out of pocket for a notebook and pen with nothing smart about it and still received no response. After 6 months I received an email apologising for their lack of customer service and saying that they would replace the pen if I sent it back to them. After seeing other reviews it is clear that the product does not work and is not up to the high standards of Moleskine.It is meant to be a time saver but it costs a huge amount of time, money and now my loyalty to the Moleskine brand.

Hello! Can someone help? I have paired the pen to my iPhone successfully, and have downloaded the Moleskine Notes app. When I write it does not pick up my writing, unless I press really hard, at which point I’m lucky if just 1 dot shows up....Help?

A great way to keep your notes electronically. Write or draw it in the notebook and it syncs over to your other devices. Pure, malevolent genius! Loved it so much, I also bought the 2018 diary!

Use the correct app - Neonotes - not moleskin one which does not allow voice recording function.

The app is a pain and you can't use it with your laptop. As well as this, if your phone is disconnected while you're writing, it won't sync up. Vastly overpriced.The writing experience and notebook are lovely, though.
