The ink is awful. It's like writing with a Bic ball point pen that gets dry every few seconds so half the time it doesn't write. You see the impression on the paper where you wrote but there's no ink in a lot of what you write. I have to stop note taking and shake the pen to get the ink flowing again.
The pen is much too thick. It's downright uncomfortable in the hand. I hate holding it. It's hard taking notes with such an uncomfortable clunky pen.
Ink quality, even if it didn't go dry every few seconds, is terrible.
Software sucks. Seriously. I thought that maybe Lotus Notes might've been the worst piece of software ever written. I was wrong. Livescribe software is the absolute worst. It's written in Java, so it's dog slow. You'll wait an unreasonable amount of time for even the simplest of operations like switching from one piece of audio to the next. It's also non-intuitive. I'm not an Apple fanboy (in fact, I dislike Apple products) but the ONE thing that Apple got right is intuitive user interface. A good piece of software should not require instructions. Nobody needs to be instructed on how to use iTunes... it's just ... intuitive. But this piece of software is a piece of junk and utterly non-intuitive. Even things that should be very simple and basic end up being Googled questions. Hate it.
