It's more intuitive than the list above makes it seem since it's essentially how the online calendar functions. Just write down "Julia and Alex's wedding!" to indicate an all-day event, where the whole date will be blocked off.Specify a start and an end time and the whole period will be blocked out.Write down the time of the event and the app will automatically block off an hour.To make appointments that will easily sync to your online calendar, there are three ways to do it: If you don't have Wifi, the pen will store up to 1,000 pages of your writing in its internal memory and sync up once you're back online. Make sure the pen is on, or what you write won't sync.Go into the Moleskine app's settings and select "Authentication Center" and pick which calendar you want to sync to.To decide where your notes and appointments should sync to, follow the following steps: Go through the motions to set it up (all pretty self-explanatory) and then link the pen up to the app by holding down on the pen's button until a light on the pen turns blue, and then place it near your iPhone. Once you've got the smart pen and planner, here's how it all works: First, you'll go into the app store and download the Moleskine app. Also, you will have to use the smart pen if you want what you write to sync to your digital accounts (though if you don't have it with you, you technically can go back and write over the scribbles with your smart pen to work around that). The considerations to make are how much you'd use it and whether the cost is worth the convenience to you. It's not cheap at $230 for them both, but that cost dips to $30 per year to re-up the planner once you have the pen (and you can probably find the planners for cheaper on Amazon or Jet). The planner is fashioned to look like a tablet but is indeed made out of paper and otherwise true to the iconic Moleskine design. Upfront, you'll need their smart pen - which works with both the notebook and planner - and the planner itself to get started. I'm not sure the satisfaction of writing things down and crossing them out justifies the extra step of filling it in online just to make sure everything is accurate and organized though. I prefer the tangible, go-anywhere nature of physical planners and notebooks but understand the need for digital, so I appreciate what Moleskine is trying to do. Now, if you use their latest Smart Planner, you can seamlessly digitize what you record by hand in your planner into your online schedules like iCal and Google Calendar. If you use their smart notebook, like I did here, you can digitize and sync your handwritten notes. Moleskine's latest Smart Pen line is making it easier for people who love putting pen to paper to also have all the ease of digitization. If you've ever wished there was a way to have the fail-safe of a physical planner without having to manually upload all the same appointment dates and tasks into your Google Calendar, you're in luck.
