Ratings and reviews

I liked this app. After an update around March, my phone no longer communicates with my LiveScribe pen. I now use my laptop to periodically archive my notebooks. Having real time access to my notes and the ability record audio notes were the reasons I chose LiveScribe over some of the other options. Neither of those features work anymore. I can't recommend LiveScribe at the moment. If you just bought your pen I would recommend returning it and finding a better option.

Will only record audio when the Livescribe App is in the foreground and active (screen on). This is contrary to the advertised capability in the Livescribe Smartpen 3 manual, page 7 of 11 "Once you’ve started recording, the app does not have to be in the foreground, or to stay awake, for the recording to continue." Other audio recording apps can record with app in the background but Livescribe+ app can no longer do this. Will update review once this is fixed ... let's see if Livescribe cares ...

I'm using the Symphony pen with this. The pairing sometimes doesn't even work, and when it does the pen unpairs within a minute of use. Also the instructions mention options in settings that don't even exist. If the pen is blinking red with an error, good luck troubleshooting the problem. No lie, this is the worst user experience I've ever had with a device and application.
