What could have been
As a concept (being able to write notes and digitise either in real time or later) Moleskin Notes and SmartPen is fantastic. Sadly though I have found that it is not so simple. Yes the real-time transfer works well but for me the attraction was to be able to write notes without being ‘tethered’ to a device. Just having a physical notebook and pen still holds a sense of ‘romance’ to me that is often lost in this digital world. Add to this disappointed, that the sync’ing across multiple iOS devices (phone, tablet) is rather hit or miss, with greater emphasis on the miss. As stated at the outset, the concept is superb. Sadly it is unable to fully deliver on it’s potential. I have some hope that a software update might at some point rectify the issues. I just hope that it’s sooner rather than later.
