Love the color...can't write with the pen.

Love the color and really wanted to love the pen.  Haven't found an ink that works without clogging the tip.  The ink comes out looking watered down, when no water has touched the pen.

Great color, however I feel the ink is bit on thick and got couple of fountain pens ( cross) ink clogging the nib. Still 4 stars for color!

Let me start with saying that I am very obsessed about the pens I use, and I do love to write my notes in at least 4 colors. I very much care about them glide easily and not make a mess with my hands/notes. I am a PhD student now and I have been doing this style since I remember.

My first experience with these pens was when my sister bought me a dark green. I liked the smoothness, so when I saw the pack on Amazon, I was tempted to buy it. The one that I previously had was made in Japan, the ink was really efficient. this pack is made in Mexico and the ink is over very soon.
My biggest problem is the color
1. most of them are too dark
2. the dark ones are too similar
3. some of them are not as you see on the cap, for example, when writing, you cannot differentiate between light blue and dark green!
4. the light ones are too light. you cannot read them on white paper. you might only use them to underline your readings!
5. This pack does not contain purple! My favorite color!

All in all, I do not want to use them for taking notes, and if I get a chance to give them away, I would not hesitate. i will definitely not buy them again!

Beautiful cards. The inside writing surfaces contain subdued color images, but sadly they will not take ball point ink. I had to resort to using an indelible felt tip marker to write my letters :-\

Love the pens, but there is a HUGE PROBLEM!

Love the pens, but there is a huge problem.  All four of my sets came with two bright orange and two bright pink, instead of peach and salmon. After receiving the first box of two sets and discovering this problem (the reason this problem is huge to me (might not be to you) is because the peach color is my favorite color to use), I phoned Amazon and told them the situation. They were terrific in quickly replacing the pens, however, the new set also had the same duplicates.

Because of the photos already posted here, I can see that there are no duplicate colors in the sets and the sets include the peach and the salmon. Mine include duplicate colors, as I said above.

The pens are almost identical to the Fiskars in colors and design. The LolliZ write and draw very smooth and with consistency and I do love the pens very much.  The colors are terrific and nice and bright.  I love the sparkle colors; they are GREAT colors.  I would like to see more pastels though and a light purple/lavender color as the purples are all rather dark.  The purple sparkle, however, is fabulous

I would love to give these pens a higher review. They write SO nicely and they look great on paper. I love using green ink, and the color of these is wonderful.

However, I am someone who likes to have a cup of coffee or water or tea while I'm working, and occasionally I'll spill a drop. Or perhaps they're in my bag and I'm walking in the rain. The ink smudges like crazy. As if it's not bad enough that I end up with green everywhere, I have been in a situation where I couldn't even read what I had written  it was smudged so badly. If there was a fix for that so I could still use these gorgeous pens, I would buy more in a heartbeat.

Of the 3 pens that actually work, I absolutely love them! Super smooth, amazing colors, and they are made from recycled materials! Unfortunately, the light green and the purple are dried out and do not write. So that is super upsetting. Especially since purple was the one I was most excited about.

I started getting these pens, to make my notes (for classes) look more interesting and fun!  While I do love the color, the pens feel a bit uncomfortable in my hand.  The only real downside, I've come across is that the ink wears out quickly/dries up quickly; on ocassion I've started writing and the ink dried up, so I tried to scribble, to get it to work...but that's more of a quality control issue, than anything else.  Overall, these are decent pens, for people who like purple.  I've purchased these pens a couple of times and will be making another purchase, later on this month.

Really like the look and feel of this pen. The pen body is not as smooth as the white Pilot MR that I have. The nib is good, not scratchy. Really beautiful color! The dots on mine were misaligned - printer error? - but Amazon sent a replacement.

These are very nice pens, but the pen cap color is not always the color of the ink.  For example, the ink color for the marker with the pale lavender cap (top row, right side, directly to the left of a light grey marker) is actually eggplant, something I did not discover until I started coloring with it in one of Johanna Basford's books (it works very well for those books, by the way; no bleed-through at all).  I wanted lavender.  I assumed, based on the color of the cap, that I had lavender.  It came out eggplant, and that whole page was ruined, unfortunately.  There is also a pale pink cap color that goes with a marker that is actually a really unattractive salmon color ink.  Again, unfortunate, as pale pink is another color I was looking for.  At least I made both discoveries on the same coloring page, so I didn't ruin two pages.  But it was a really nice page from The Secret Garden, and I had set it aside so I could use these markers with it.

I'm going back to colored pencils, and will just have to keep a sharpener handy to get the lead point thin enough to color some of the tiny spaces in Johanna's books.

The quality of these markers is excellent, but I am very disappointed with the deceptive cap colors.  The color of the cap should be the color of the ink.

TL;DR: In a nutshell, the pen itself is wonderful, and if you just need handwriting capture there shouldn't be a problem (if you can deal with the app's obscurity). But if you need the voice recording, and can't afford to lose every two or three sessions without warning, I highly suggest looking elsewhere.

I'll preface this by saying that mechanically/aesthetically, the pen itself is beautiful. It is surprisingly easy to write with, despite feeling a bit weird at first (and my tiny hands). The silver body feels very good, and the indicator light is just bright enough to see in a bright classroom, but not so bright that it is distracting. The tip (at least for the ink it came with) wasn't nearly as "wobbly" as Livescribe pens I've had in the past which allowed for much smaller (and precise) writing.

If I was just buying this as a 'stupid' pen, there would be no problem at all. However, the entire reason to buy a smart pen is for functionality more advanced than just a Bic pen and tape recorder. So as you can probably guess, my problem was with the app itself. I purchased this pen for one particular class I'm taking. Our (crazy) professor 1. Writes very information/detail dense powerpoint lectures, and goes through them so quickly that it is impossible to take down all the names, dates, cases, etc. 2. Doesn't post the lecture slides until two to three weeks later. 3. Doesn't allow ANY technology with screens, even though a computer would allow us to keep up. So, this seemed a perfect solution!

When the app worked how it was supposed to (about half the time) I'd give it about a 3.5/5. It was....adequate. The most frustrating thing was the lack of instructions. There is a short blurb you get with the pen about how to synch it, however it didn't work, and I had to explore the bowels of the internet to figure out how to fix it. The app isn't particularly intuitive, so this happened pretty frequently. But I'm fluent in Google searches, so if these were the only issues I would have grit my teeth and wait for the company to update it.

The reason I ended up returning it was because of a more critical issue. About half the time I would turn on the pen, open up the app, wait for the pen to be recognized, write a bit so there was an 'active' page, navigate to that page, then click "record" (a bit of a hassle, but not deal breaking). I'd then take notes for the duration of the lecture - happy that I could actually listen and write key words (and listen is later if I missed something) rather than furiously scribble down lecture slides. Once class ended, I would open up my phone and try to click "stop record", but about half the time the app would freeze, and then proceed to "unexpectedly quit" (Android). Upon reopening the app, the handwriting would eventually sync, but the audio would be nowhere to be found!! I couldn't afford to trust my academic success to the required app, so unfortunately the pen was a glorified scanner, and I had to return it.

Random Thoughts/Tips:
- Neo smartpen N2 hardware + Livescribe software would be magical
- If using on multiple devices: On the most recently used device, upload whatever notebook you will be using to Google Drive. On the new device, delete the old version of the notebook, then download the newly uploaded one from Drive. (** You must do this each time you switch from, say, your phone to tablet and back. Otherwise you may lose information!!)
- After syncing with Google Drive, you will see a folder created. If you move/edit/rename this folder, you're SOL. Also, you cannot listen to audio on the uploaded files.
- Easiest way to save things to Drive that you CAN mess with, is to use the corner check-mark auto email thing, then in your Gmail create a filter which automatically tags those emails with "Neo pen" or something similar. Then, use IFTTT and create a recipe so that "IF receive email with "Neo Pen" label, THEN save attachments to Drive folder."

Beautiful pen... ink lasted 3 weeks. That's laughable. Ink is full, pen won't write.

EDIT: ok, it started working again BUT there is a flaw. If you store the pen upside down, the ink appears to drain from the ball tip. Put it right side up, wait 30 minutes, it started writing again. So, the pen is awesome, the ink cartridge sucks!

Great pen, but cannot be used to take notes on galaxy note 10.1. Resting a hand on the surface of the tablet gets in the way of writing.

The single biggest problem is that this is impossible to write on. An ink pen/marker like a Sharpie or gel pen stays wet on this for a LONG time. Far too long for young kids to keep wrists/fingers/arms off the surface, resulting in extensive smears. Ballpoint works on it...kinda...you have to hold the pen perfectly upright, and still need to "re-prime" the pen on regular paper frequently (DH, who was helping our little one, estimated between every letter before launching on a search for alternative cards to use).

Also, I would dock a point for the fact that these are just "postcards" - i.e., a single double-sided sheet. With the curvy cutout shape and pre-drawn age-appropriately spaced lines, that leaves very little room to write even the minimal note ("Dear _guest_, thank you for the great _gift_ From _birthdaychild_").

Last, you may not care, but I was surprised to find that the envelopes are in the same jarringly intense and somewhat dark shade of green.

Let me start by saying these are the best pens I've ever written with... They are smooth, the colors are awesome and they rival the pilot g2... However they leak everywhere! I bought this pack about 2 months ago... I write ALOT and I've thrown out 5 of them because they start to leak at the tip and it goes everywhere. I'm so bummed! Please please fix the leak issue on these!

It looks very pretty. The cover is beautiful and the pages look really nice and creamy. Definitely very nice. However, my favorite pen, the pilot g-2 07, show's through to the other side, and also needs a bit to dry, otherwise it'll smudge. No similar qualms with a pencil, and I'd assume it would be fine if you used a less inky pen (like a bic or something).

When I got the pen, it didn't work. The refill tip is too big for the opening. That makes me seriously doubt that this is an actual Pentel pen. If someone had just tried to click it before shipping it they would've seen that it was inoperable. After taking it apart and forcing the refill through the hole many times, it finally works. It didn't come in any packaging, ok thats fine. But the color is wrong, it's not aqua or mint...it is baby blue. I specifically wanted an aqua, mint, tiffany-blue color and this isn't it. The one positive is that the gel writes very smooth. So I will keep it and use it but I'm still searching for the correct color.
