New Moleskine Notebooks app is unusable

The original Moleskine Notes and its successor M+ Notes both worked well. They connected to the pen and updated reasonably quickly. It was relatively easy to find a date or page.
The new version keeps telling me I have multiple versions of my notebooks and asks me which one I want to keep. For example I have one notebook labeled 2026, but a message pops up whenever I use the pen, i.e. write a word—pop up, do I want to make this my default notebook and archive the others?—write a second word—pop up, do I want to make this my default notebook and archive the others?—write a third word, same pop up. Seriously annoying.
The new app doesn’t completely update. Many pages are blank or contain only a small portion of the content that is in the paper notebook. There doesn’t seem to be any way to go back to the old app and retrieve everything that the pen wrote.
Very disappointed. Would rate it a zero if I could.

Response from developer

Dear Bridlewise, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. The message about multiple notebooks is displayed to prevent handwritten notes from being assigned to the wrong notebook. If you only have one physical notebook, it is likely that multiple copies were created during the migration process. Please contact us directly through the Contact Us section in the app so we can investigate your account and resolve the issue. We'll be happy to help you get everything working correctly. Thank you.

Pretty Bad

New update to the app is quite hilariously bad. The last one wasn’t great but was intuitive and kept things in order. The only thing users want is the digital copy of the writings they make on their notebooks. But the update seems to try to be something else that no one really asked for. The data transfer is also very poor and i wish they gave me a warning in advance so I was able to have a copy of my data from the old app. I’m sure there’s work arounds for the data transfer as well but because the interface is hard to navigate you end up with lost data or just feeling really unorganized.

Response from developer

DearJspgl, Thank you for your feedback. Please note that a new release will be available soon, bringing several improvements to the overall app experience. In the meantime, we kindly ask you to contact us directly through the app by going to Settings → Contact Us. This will allow our Technical Support team to analyze your case and help resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

New update is horrendous

The original app wasn’t flashy, but reliable and fairly intuitive. The newest update has been a cluster from the beginning.

It is incredibly slow, choppy, nothing is loading.

It will not load any of the pages. Absolutely useless now.

Total downgrade

App update a blatant rip off. The old app (v2) had really quite effective handwriting recognition making notes indexable and searchable. And so properly ‘smart’ and useful compared with simple pen and paper notes. In this new version (June 2026) the default (free) recognition is total rubbish, not a single word recognised. And guess what? You can upgrade to AI powered recognition for £10 per month!!!!! The pen was £200 on its own, but it worked and was useful. I have two filled notebooks which are now effectively just paper-based. Selling my pen on eBay and deleting this. I wish it would let me give zero stars.

Getting There

App works pretty well but doesn't capture everything. The constant reminder to leave a review is frustrating and knocked it down two stars.
