Moleskine Smart Writing Set Smart Notebook & New Smart Pen (2022) - Store Handwritten Notes Digitally, with Connected Notebook Notes App (Only Compatible Smart Notebooks)

The media could not be loaded. I’ve used dozens of digital notetaking systems—iPad with Apple Pencil, reMarkable, Rocketbook, Livescribe—but this is the first paper product that doesn’t feel like a compromise. The Moleskine Smart Notebook is what you’d expect from the brand: sleek, high-quality, and tactile. But paired with the Pen+ Ellipse and the Moleskine Notes app? It turns into a paper lover’s dream with cloud backup.The paper is silky smooth, no bleed-through, and the size is generous without being awkward. I mostly write free-form notes, brainstorms, and task flows. The app recognizes handwriting accurately even when I’m messy, and syncs quickly to Google Drive, Evernote, and PDF. If you’re organized, it works with tags and search; if you’re chaotic like me, it’s just satisfying knowing everything’s digitized without thinking about it.One huge plus: you don’t need to press hard. The Pen+ Ellipse picks up everything without denting the page. Just keep in mind—you MUST use this specific notebook. Regular Moleskines won’t work.I’ve bought 8 of these now because they’re that good. I use them for meetings, journaling, and even outlining content. They’re pricey, yeah. But for anyone balancing analog and digital workflows (especially students, creatives, or professionals), it’s worth every penny.

It was a present for my sister on her 50th birthday. She loves it!.

Pen won't charge after second time using it. Had it just over a month so can't return it. Now have to go through the warranty process. At this moment, would have rather bought a Montblanc for the same price.Review:It is pretty cool to see the pen paired to the app and rewatching the pen strokes in real time. Other than that, the pen itself is a thin roller ball. Nothing fancy. Would be nice if you could swap out for wider nibs or even a fountain pen. My biggest gripe on design would be there is no clip to hang on a shirt pocket, notebook cover, or notebook strap. Also, would be nice to come with a case or the option of buying a branded case, because it's weird to have such an expensive piece of hardware without any sort of travel protection. I planned on buying something nice so to actually use it daily. I'm not sure if they sell compatible yearly calendars, but would purchase if they do.

This system is absolutely amazing! The app and pen setup was under 5 minutes. The only 'drawback' is that it backups only to Google Drive or OneNote. Not a big problem, but again, in under 5 minutes I had my unused google Drive linked to my Apple Files/iCloud so no issues accessing it easily and under one location.I also purchased the planner/diary option. A weekly planner on one side and notes on the right side. With my first pen stroke, it showed up n the Moleskine app and I could search the handwritten notes, export the page(s) in numerous formats (pdf, word, text, SVG, photo...so many!). With the planner, you can write an appointment and it instantly uploads to my iCal...what?!?!All in all, this system is seamless, effective and easy - just as technology should be.

The app that goes with the smart own set to transfer your images is pretty poor quality development. Difficult to log in to. Pen doesn’t easily connect. You can only use it on one device at a a time so you can’t have it on both your iPad and your iPhone or Mac. The app is poorly supported too…moleskin basically does not support the app. They respond to contact, but just to tell you they can’t help you.I’m backing up to OneDrive and Google Drive (you have to manually switch between the two) but it remains to be seen if those backups are recoverable. The back up is all in proprietary encryption to the Moleskine app so you can’t read it in other formats.

I was so disappointed with this product. I love Moleskine books and was really excited to try this writing set with their smartpen. However, the smartpen won't hold a charge.I tried to contact customer service, but that was four days ago and all I got was an email saying they would get back to me in 48 hours. I even waited for their response before sending the writing set back, just in case they could help fix it. But after four days of waiting, it is clear they don't care, so why give them my money? It is on its way back and I won't try again.

The integration with the app is amazing. It uploads easily and automatically. It turns on when I start writing so I don't even have to remember to turn it on. It feels like a regular pen and regular paper but I know I won't lose it or not have it on me. It's everything I wanted a tablet to do. It can't read my handwriting very well so the translations aren't quite there yet. But I appreciate that it tries.

This pen could be an excellent smart device, except for getting a replacement charging cable and the limited ability to transfer data. I have tried for nearly a year to find a replacement charging cable for my pen. I looked for a replacement on the Moleskine website and they show they stock them. However, they have been listed as out-of-stock since last fall. It does give you the option to submit your email address to be notified when the cables become available, which I completed. I received one email stating that the item I had requested information on was in stock. Within five minutes of receiving the email, I went to the Moleskine website to make a purchase, only to see that it was still out of stock.While the pen has excellent potential for note-keeping, the day planner notebook is only compatible with the iOS calendar and does not transfer to Outlook.
