User Reviews

User reviews consistently highlight strong transcription and real-time note display as major positives, along with easy pairing and good hardware value. However, recurring problems drag the experience down: the app frequently struggles with syncing or fails to open/sign in, audio recording is missing, and updates can cause data loss. Several reviewers also note a bare-bones app with limited editing, renaming, or exporting features. Overall, LivePen offers promising handwriting capture and transcription, but reliability and feature completeness are significant obstacles.

Pros

Real-time syncing of handwritten notes to the app (notes appear instantly).
High-quality transcription/handwriting recognition that converts to text.
Easy pairing/setup with devices (pairing breeze).
Solid hardware feel and good value for the price.

Cons

Unreliable syncing/connection issues; intermittent missing notes and frequent disconnects.
App sometimes won’t open or sign-in problems (including URL redirect/HTTPS issues) hindering onboarding.
Audio recording feature missing or not working on LivePen (no audio capture).
Data loss or loss of saved data after app updates.
Limited app functionality (bare-bones app with no editing/deleting of notes and limited editing/export options; inability to rename pen).

Recent reviews

Worst Livescribe pen experience ever. Have been a client from inception. The lens with their own memory are gems and I still use them. The fail in this “LivePen” has been the need to be on the cloud. Huge lag and past a few pages intermittent processing Very unreliable. Also what a pain initially to even use with the sign on needing to sent a link. Ridiculous.

App was ok for a few weeks then it won't open! iPhone update and app update all current. App still will not open. So much for that ! Back to old school notebook!

Started we’ll, and have used these before; now the app won’t open (yes I’ve freed up memory) and before that I had to constantly recap the pen then reconnect it for it to record. Was really hoping for better results.
