3 Stars
cracked at charging tip less than 6 mos; software still flaky; Livescribe 3+better pen
Longer and thinner than Livescribe 3, but requires special card you only receive one of, and that quickly gets adulterate by required usage, that you must tap to be able to pair; as well as you must have your LOCATION turned on, which I absolutely would never do in past. Pairing sometimes a chore. Never once had problem with my Livescribe 3+, which didn't need location running on my phone or tablet.THIS pen (see pics) cracked with weekday daily use for just over six months. Aug 15, 2020 to Jan. 28, 2021. Have no idea how crack occured, but inside the pen cap it has some hardware that looks like it can damage that end of the pen when placed there while writing so you don't lose the cap. Didn't even realize it was made of plastic. Disappointing, as now pen cap will not stay on the charging end while I'm writing, since the crack. and if you lose the cap, the only way to turn off the pen is from non-use after several hours,as recapping the pen to the ink side is how you normally turn pen off. Still appears to charge with tight fitting USB mini; for now.Regarding software that's necessary to make pen run:Phone or Tablet App -App still crashes regularly, but you are able to load all your notebooks (doesn't hang like it used to, but this might be a software fix) and now gives you an option to suspend syncing so you can record a pencast (and the option actually works). Still gets hung when you try to view your feeds for newish notebooks recently loaded.Windows 10 compatible Desktop software makes viewing and sharing notebooks easy, although viewing is set up a bit dumb and does not number the sets correctly. But, I have to leave overnight to load my notebooks from just one week's worth of law school notes. Can't upload notebooks more frequently because 2019 HP laptop can do absolutely nothing else while pen is synching -- software drags down my laptop's system that much.Takes so long to load notebooks I have to leave overnight, but this causes pen battery to go dead (when pen is plugged in to computer using USB cable! -- NOT using bluetooth). Cannot get pen to sync with desktop software when just connecting via bluetooth (with no cable), even when software alerts me that pen is paired (but it never recognizes it on screen; i only get pop up message saying it paired successfully). So basically, Bluetooth uploads do not appear to work; just use USB cable.Desktop software does not update seemlessly, even after it observes an update is available and you answer yes at the software's prompts that you indeed would like to install it now. The desktop sofware, compared to tablet or phone app, can take a while to convert to text or picture and won't let you do anything else in software while it is working on the task, but it does finish it. Similar feature is not always guarenteed with the app, tho. As long as you write with the same pen, the desktop software will finish your to-text conversion, but if you have 2 different pens for one notebook, it hangs forever and never converts to text.Leaving the upload for overnight runs the battery dead on pen, so I have to charge pen in the morning by unhooking from laptop then reconnect pen once it has some juice before completing weekly upload. I am in law school, so i do have 30-40 pages of handwritten notes per week to upload. i cannot upload more frequently because of what a system hog the software is. You cannot charge using USB cable plugged into computer, as far as I've been able to discern (thus, reason pen battery goes dead while being plugged into USB of laptop overnight). Even with bona fide data transfer and charging cable.Regarding ink refills you have to swap out when ink runs dry. Pen gives you a pinhole on the clothing clip of the pen cap to slide the spent ink wand into, to dislodge the old one from the barrel. But, if you use slot in cap to dislodge pen ink refills, the ballbearing pulls out of the refill head (the "ball point" in the ball-point pen, literally), and you get ink everywhere if not careful. So, if you thought you might want to use different color inks and will be taking refills in and out before the ink is spent, get ready to make a huge mess. You can always use your teeth, though.Regarding notebooks.... if you rely on 8 uniquely colored notebook covers, you only get 6 colors showing up on the app or in the desktop software. Red 2 and Maroon 5 show up as red only, and Teal 1 and Royal Blue 8 both show up as turquoise. So you can only color code your materials with up to 6 colors at a time. If you are taking five classes and have two clubs you scribe for, plus need a notepad for test preparation, you have to buy journal or grid paper or A5 notebooks so you have something distinguishable from others already in use that semester.Software on desktop appears to be doing better job at reading my handwriting, than app ever did or does, but it could be a software fix.

It works well all the time: pen is comfortable, notebooks are the right size and not expensive, The app is simple and works well. The notes are easily transferred to MS OneNote. The handwriting is searchable by OneNote. You can then copy into any file and organize all your notes. You can also convert handwriting to text in the app or in Microsoft 360.
