Montblanc Hub for Android
Unfortunately this app and hence the entire "augmented-paper" concept does not work at all! Whenever I really wanted to use it, I had to fiddle at least half an hour to get it working. Once it was able to communicate with my phone (a Samsung S7) it worked as described but as soon as they two lost connection its practically impossible to get them to communicate again. Switching on/off, un- and re-pairing, nothing worked. Only un- and re-installing the app brought it back to normal somewhat reliable, but - hey - that really can't be it! Had the device not been a present (which I can't return without causing some embarrassment) I would already long ago have returned it and ask for a refund. The way it is it this a complete waste and a useless paper-weight!
By far the most useless technology I tested. It worked once. Tge next time I had to uninstall the app and reinstall and it worked once. Now it refuse to pair. A very expensive notebook with no sync abilities, in principle useless. Wrote to Mont Blanc, no response
To Synchronize, you need to unpair and repair each time, which is very frustrating.
When is the new software going to be available as I can't continue uninstalling to synchronise the data. I like this augmented paper as it's very good for meetings.
Have had to re pair everytime i have used it.....frustrating
Syncing requires a miracle! Re-pair is required every other time you use it.
Every time I need to use doesn't synchronise. Have to uninstall and install again. Thanks synchronise...
Brilliant, if slight delay in transfer but that is just splitting hairs
Just hope there are more functions to it. Such as pen ink thickness. And the viscosity of the ink ( not sure the word ) hope u understand what i mean. Anywayd. Good app.
I love this brand
Very basic functionality, but it works. It would be nice to set some export options, for text made on the "agumented paper", such as line thickness and color. The included Starwalker pen has no pressure sensitivity and the text is exported in thick black lines to the app. Does not look good on the computer screen. I would prefer a much thinner line, and being able to set the color to blue for example. When drawing in the app, this is possible, with a very nice fountain pen effect, but not for text written with the Starwalker pen. Furthermore it would be nice to be able to automatically sync the app's pages database using cloud solutions such as Dropbox. This would make the same pages instantly availabe on all devices. I know you can do an export to the cloud, but that is not the same. A desktop app (Windows/Mac) or some integration to for example Onenote would also be welcome.

I cannot give any higher score to an app from a European company that only recognises English (United States)! Please Montblanc get your act together. A reply of check settings is useless because the language list only contains English (US) not true English (UK). PLEASE READ THE COMMENT BEFORE REPLYING. Thank you.
