From 5 to 1 star. The enthusiasm has not kept long. As with many other users I was caught up with the same problem. After about 4 months use Scripture came only to fragmentary. They were on the iPad only meaningless lines to identify and no more text. So the Pen is completely useless and it seems to be a common problem. Pin then went back again thanks to the great goodwill Amazon.
Original Review:
This new pen brings the digital tablet world and the conventional writing on paper together really wonderful. I have sought a solution to capture at customer information without ever having to build a notebook between me and the callers. And let's be honest. The recording of much information is simply not an iPad to make and totally impractical. But this solution can be written and has everything at once on the iPad. And the added value lies in the following. On the iPad, you can look at the written as whole pages and also send by email ... but: there are in the App another view feeds. Here the written virtually "set example" is divided into individual elements. Namely, in chronological order! So you write something on a sheet before this is sorted chronologically in the feed. And with the icons at the bottom of starter notebooks can be something written mark. So for example, a star for anything yet to be tracked. This mark can be seen in the feed and can be seen in the App for these feeds Filter with the markings and send only these feeds by email. This is a blast workflow for business users. The text recognition is also surprisingly good, and I usually send out the handwritten. I am really very happy with the solution.
But then why only 4 stars? As I wrote above, the true value with the possibility of 3 marking symbols created in Starter notebook. These symbols are, however, present new and in no other notebook can be ordered. In other words: there is no notebook smartpen 3 to buy. While you can write in any other but the marker symbols described are not available, which is very annoys me. If I already bring a new pen on the market, I should also offer accessories, which uses the functions of the pen. I can only hope that this is only a short matter of time.
Finally, a tip to the mine. In smartpen 3 as opposed to the other pins of Livescribe fit the standard mines Lamy or Schneider purely without manipulation and also work. Here one has thus improved. Although I must say that the original mines are very high quality, if you get it then. Here at Amazon.com there is not it. You have the article number ARA 00009th But since you will find it on the internet.
