Moleskine Journal Reviews

Great as is, but needs a few tweaks to be perfect

This app is handy and has tons of features that make it an ideal digital notebook. However, it's in need of an autocorrect and auto caps function. When you're speed typing, you're not going to stop to press the up button, and of course there will be spelling typos. What would be great are functions that can fix such things. Also, text needs to flow smoother from one line to another. Often, one line of text is always partly (vertically) cut off.

Paid for a disappearing act

Purchased both Passions travel and wine journals, spent time creating art and writings only to find the content disappears upon later viewing. Tech support stated they couldn't figure out the problem. Do not buy.

Love -hate relationship

Crashes when adding new journal. Isn't it time to sync across devices? Despite the frustration, it is fun journal app. Would love if it work as we've come to expect from today's top apps.

Not working guys with both of my Pencils. They pair with Paper and Procreate but not this app.

cannot figure this out

Moleskin is very attractive app, however, there are no directions or tutorials (and trying to contact support is impossible). A totally useless app (plus they want you to buy elements within app, but good luck trying to figure out what is free). Some basic tutorials or videos would really help- they basically leave you without any guidance. There are much better solutions out there that are easier to use (intuitive), work with Apple Pencil, and not as confusing as Moleskin app. Done waste your time.

Take My Advice

Occam’s Razor

My advice to users: It's best to avoid this app at this time unless you have extraordinary patience or are so die-hard a Moleskine fan that usability doesn't matter. It needs a lot of work and right now it doesn't look like Moleskine cares very much about it. Users have been crying for improvement since about 2012. My advice to Moleskine: Do what you did with your Timepage app: Collaborate with some skilled developers, create a killer app that knocks it out of the park, and put a price tag on it. The freemium model isn't working for you, because when it's free, you won't want to put in the time to improve it. Timepage, your paid app, is excellently done in both design and functionality. Imitate this with your other apps and people will throw money at you. And love.

Crashes 24/7...LOSES PAGES OF WORK

THIS APP IS TERRIBLE!!! And I say this after using them it for over a year!! I LOVE THE ACTUAL JOURNALS...but this app crashes quite often...id say around 1 in 4 times you use it crashes, at least. And about half of those times it will lose all of what you've recently done... Just Buy A Molskin Journal...it will do you better than this app!

Needs work

Overall the journal is awesome good lines etc, but the pencil keeps quitting in the midst of a sentence. The then usually crashes and you lose your work. If the stability was there could be an easy 5 star.

Interface disaster. Skip this mess.

Another hipster product with no craft. Slap a name in it, get a crappy company like 53 to make a big deal about it... Deleted within minutes. Terrible interface with gobs of video links for help? Just Awful. :(

This app is terrible.

I have spent loads of money on Moleskin over the past years, and when I got this app I though it may be something for my phone like my notebooks are. But no, whom ever designed and developed this app fell way short of the quality Moleskin upholds in all other areas. For sure the worst app I have ever seen by far.
