So for those who don't know Moleskine now have three applications
They have the Moleskine timepage calendar application the moleskine actions applications, which is it to do this tab
and now they have moleskine flow, which is their attempt at challenging apps like paper by
53 that will essentially help you to sketch whatever you need to now this is currently available on
ipad it was released about two weeks ago and we'll be diving into the
Application giving it a bit of a nope overview of what it does and how you could use it
So without further ado, let's dive in
For this review guys, I borrowed my wife's iPad so big thanks to Becca for letting me borrow it for reviewing moleskin flow
So let's dive in so here we are with moleskin flow
And of course, it is an application that looks very attractive. That's one thing I'd say from the start
Is that the moleskin digital studio team build such good apps and I use time page the sound animation
Everything like that is absolutely stunning
So, of course you're getting a good high quality
Experience now, let's run over a few stats before we actually dive into the application
So this application is a subscription-based application for twelve months. It's priced at
$29.99 so fairly high on the scale if we compare that, for example, we transfers paper by 53
I just call it that it's 11 dollars 99 for their subscription models
So this is a little bit higher. But again, it's important to note that this application does have a few differences
We'll try and cover on those. It's
$4.99 or
Going over here you do get a 7-day trial
But of course you can connect up with your existing moleskin accounts and be able to sync with that now it does require
IOS, 12 or higher, so you'd need to be installing that on your iPad and of course
It does work with the classic iPad or iPod pen. So we actually won't be doing that
We'll be using my classic DTOs here because I actually don't have an Apple pencil and this is my my iPad anyway
So this got a 3.3 bracing on the iOS early days. That's the first hundred reviews
But of course this applications is fine-tuned a few of the issues it had
Originally, and of course it does compete with other such wraps like paper
So let's take a look at let's dive into this application actually because it's a it's quite the application indeed
So as you can see here, you have got a home page. You've got all which covers all of your different collections
And of course, that's where you can start any new
Documents now, what I can do is I can start a new collection
So for example, let's say I wanted to start designing some book covers. Let's call it book covers
Then I can go ahead and press and create a new section
And of course that clears all of the other ones and I can create as many collections else
I like now if I click in and create a new document. You can see here that I can get started, you know
Demonstrating how or some of the features work here, but I want to start with some of the basic abilities
It's got a unique set of drawing tools and what I quite like particularly is the dark and light dark and light paper options
So what you can do is you can add a dot grid square grid or plane
style, so for example if I wanted to go for white or just
Dotted grid you might not be able to see you might be able to see on the screen version
anyway
It does look a lot more attractive and that's perfect because I use the confidante and that looks exactly the same
You've also got the grids and the lined paper in case you're doing you know writing pieces now
You do have a lot of color options. So you've got a slight yellow and you've got this like dark dark II sort of
Bluish actually, it's not dark II bliss. I really like light blue and you've also got some of the darker colors
Which is more suitable, for example, if you wanted to use black with some of the white
options then you can and you can also use
Some more stylistic stuff. And so there are certain T of options for those who want optionality. I'm gonna go with the
Yellow and a dotted grid for the moment
So, of course up here, I can toggle between all of the drawing settings that I have and it does have customizable gestures
so for example
if you you have the second-generation Apple pencil and running this on an iPad pro you can double tap and it will obviously give you
Plenty of customization gestures so you can see here that you can export
Automatically you can export just the screen the selection
So for example, if you wanted a surfboard piece that you were working on and also you can actually just do everything
Including all of the pages that you have. So that's one of the many benefits of using the exports functions
So going back here. You have a few undo abilities and let's get into some of the drawing
Functionalities. So let's start with using like a bio type pen
You have the ability over here to change the size, which is quite nice like the size of what you actually have
so the nib size
so with the pen options
you can actually choose a
Darker version of that pen or a lighter version and what I quite like is the animation that the actual pen color changes
As you go through these you can also
Give it a different nib as well
so you can change the nib and type of
Nib that you work with and also the size of that nib so you can do this all
Inside if you can almost like customize your pen before you use it
Now, of course, I don't have the Apple pencil, but I'm gonna go ahead and start sketching this book cover
so I've also you want to make a
You can tell that I did not do art so I'm gonna make the outline of this cover
And for example if I wanted to one thing that I'm not Lego, I'm not yet grasses being able to access it
So I want to do a bit of a darker sort of monolith color with a darker outline
So that so I can just do the outline of the book. Well, that's way too thin
I like about this as well is you may have notice you can move this around
So for example, if you want to tap in you can make sure that you get it now. Maybe I need a different
Top there. That's probably the perfect one and if I go down here I can make that book edge appear a little
Thicker so you're starting to get a good idea that this is a very intricate
Application and from first glance it actually looks a lot more intricate than the pen abilities on the paper application
So if I went over here and I chose a bit of a radical different color and I went
Head inside here and maybe I want to choose maybe something blue as this option
You do have a different version to blue which I quite like so you can go into real detail here
So let's say I wanted the internal cover to be blue. Then I could do that quite easily now
I can go ahead and change the size of that nib so that I'm making sure I'm using the maximize size
You can tell that I'll never ever be drawing some art in my life
But if I were to you could hire me below at Francesca keeper, dr. Calm
So what I'm going to do here is I'm actually going to choose a yellow
So I can do the top bit a little bit like that
So in this case, I'm actually gonna go with the marker pen. Make sure that the size is so big
So I'm going to do the lower half of this
I have no idea and the good thing is with this option this pen option. I can go into it and
Scrub all so do this bottom half. So the you're sort of getting an idea of how this feature works
Now the good thing is if I wanted to add the pen I was using
So for going on for this color
And it obviously wanted to save it as a preset
We have to do is press the button down here so you can have as many pens as you'd like
Which is great if you want a routine pen
Okay, so when you're coming to use the eraser you can choose which you want to erase
So for example what you've already done and it's quite accurate
But if I want to undo this I can go back easily
I should probably undo the whole thing if you want to undo the whole thing
All you have to do is hold on the eraser and press clear document
But in this case I don't want to do so
but if I want to do any can point that zoom in to the picture, um
I can actually do that and I can get rid of some pieces that I've done there and really go into detail
So for example if I wanted to sketch in particular this area
Like I wanted to sort of get started with it, obviously
It's a little bit laggy probably have a little bit faster on new modern iPads, but this is an iPad
2010 Edition I
don't do art but I can see how much detail and the good thing is if I wanted to scrub all across this I
Could do so enough
The great thing is when you let go it sort of renders in but there's ultra wide width to these documents
Which is perfect or create it?
Now just a couple of other things if I wanted again to go ahead and export
Then I could export everything or I could export a selection
For example if I just chose to select that area
I can go ahead and export in many different options
if I wanted to save it directly as an image, maybe save it to the files area on my
My iPad I could do that there. So that's a really easy way to cut through
So let's take a look at the Moscone flow section
You can go to preferences and modify some of the gestures about what finger
Abilities you have and what you can use if your finger for the tapping of three fingers, etc
And also there's some general ones like for example sound effects when you're actually writing out and I'll play some of the sound effects now
You
Now there's also obviously your account here's the membership options in the UK
It's $27 99 and you in a monthly price
It's four dollars 49 and that would be billed yearly for the 12-month option
So this application is available on iPad and it does come with a subscription fee
I'll include all the rest in information below. The actions application is
$11.99 earlier. So this is by far the most expensive application
But it's definitely the most specific it's something that I think users of for example
Artists and creators will be able to relate to it a lot more than I will
so if you're looking to use this for an be able to sketch and design stuff
Then I recommend it and of course, it's a very gorgeous looking application
so the reason I mainly reviewed it is because of its connection to the Moscone squeaked and I definitely think
You could even use it. For example if I went ahead out of here and created a new area
I could go ahead and use it for writing up my notes in class
So for example if I wanted to put you know today or you know
For example to start typing away. I
Can do so and the good thing about that is if you have an Apple pencil
It really lifts it up and make it a whole lot higher quality
I actually download this in the App Store and got started playing with it
I believe matter was installed in one of the app stores and I was pretty impressed by the layout
So guys, thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed this future
I'll include as much information and other resources available in description below
But thank you very much for stopping by and I hope you found this one useful and it would ice
Thanks so much, and I'll see you super soon Cheers
