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.

Have been subscribed to Moleskine's Timepage and Actions apps for some time now, they are among the most innovative calendar and to-do apps currently available for mobile. Had no idea Moleskine even made the Pen+ Ellipse until recently - was happy to give it a try thanks to the great experience with their mobile apps, and so glad I did.The pen works flawlessly, and the paper tablet is a joy to take notes on. I can quickly sketch out thoughts and send them to my team, and they are easy to pull back up when I need them.Used to take notes on an iPad - writing with plastic on glass wears on you, no matter how precise it is. Analog Moleskine notebooks are obviously great, but you have to flip through pages to find what you need. This is the best of both worlds - you take notes naturally, pen to paper, and a digital backup is available in real-time for sharing and easy to pull up later when you need it.If you're serious about your notes and have a need to share your thoughts from time to time, you'll love this. Recommended with no reservations.

I AM NEVER BUYING MOLESKINE AGAIN!!!!!! I was such a heavy user of their amazing products, but I've been trying to return this smart pen set and they just threw me to the FOURTH email / line of communication. I'm really disappointed, just spent $300 in a product that is worthless, doesn't work and they do nothing about it! My advice: RUN AWAY FROM THEM!!!!!!!!

This pen, unlike the previous version, works quite well in full, bright, sunlight. Connects everytime with the phone or windows 10. There are a couple of problems:1. It is difficult to tell if the pen is on, the LED is quite faint, likely for battery preservation.2. Battery life is short, especially if you are using the bluetooth connection to your phone or computer.But other than that, the pen performs quite well and I am left handed. I use it in the bright, direct sunlight with no problem. If you have the fat previous version, which worked, in comparison is not comparable.As to the "Paper Tablet", it does seem stupid to look at, but once you start using it, there isn't any problem. Moleskin likely cannot make a profit on more notebook types, but I would certainly buy a smaller version of the "paper tablet" without the pages hanging out.

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.
