Cons
Con Backgrounds are girly and corny
You can’t add your own backgrounds, not in the start page neither in the individual entries, so you only have the ones provided and after a while they become boring. They don’t say this in the App Store, so it’s possible to buy it thinking you’ll be able to have personalized backgrounds but no.
Con No folders inside other folders
Although there is a little option to organize the folders in a category index you can’t make folders inside other folders so you waste time looking despite how organized your stuff is.
Con Lack of instructions
There's some difficulty getting an answer from Moleskine.
Con Unresponsive to Apple Pen and palm rejection when using a small tip
This causes random signs and overflows of different line thickness.
Con Complicated interface - no page or word search
The interface is quite cumbersome; not as easy as Good Notes. If you need to find a page, there's no index or a way to search by word. The Page-Turn Assist works but as soon as you turn it off, pages are very hard to turn.
