Button customization works now

EDIT: As of January 24, 2016, I can now customize what the top button does with both a single-click and a double-click on SP3. Thanks to Eric (the 1/11/16 review) for letting me know to update. If you're not seeing the new options, update the app manually, or alternatively uninstall and reinstall. Previously, my pressure sensitivity would randomly reset--which was pretty frustrating, as I use this device for sketching comics. I have yet to see if this still happens. Will update if I see any changes.

Surface Pen Settings non EXISTENT!!

When attempting to update the settings on the Surface pen the settings are incomplete or missing. The only setting you can update or change is the Pen sensitivity. This issue has been brought up to tech support through emails and chats with no resolution. Others here are complaining about this being broken. Microsoft where are you on this? Without this function this app is Useless!! Please address this issue or create a workaround, new app that will allow us to change the settings on the Surface Pen including button configuration. This machine and the Surface Pro would be a 5 star device if it were not for this annoying bug!!

Just updated the Surface app thru the windows store. It now automatically closes after a few seconds. Can no longer use it to adjust pen sensitivity. Makes me not want to update working apps anymore!

Review title of JoshuaPersistent crash at launch

Application now working as intended. When launching the surface application the logo will appear, stall, and then crash. I have uninstalled the application, reset it in app settings, ran sfc /scannow in cmd prompt, ran the windows diagnostic toolkit to no avail, and contacted Microsoft support (recommended reinstalling windows which I have not done yet). Interestingly the application does actually open when not connected to a network. I guess this can be used as a work around to adjust your pen settings(which is this applications only use anyway). Microsoft, please just put all the hardware settings for the surface into the OS where they belong in the first place....

I want easy tips plus, for god's sake, if I change the pen sensitivity, save it! Because next time I use the pen, I have to change the sensitivity again. Save my preferences. Pen is still ehh. Please bring back the radial menu in OneNote and improve click response. Clicking the pen works half of the time. I need to jot down notes quick, or use cortana, or screenshot! These actions don't always happen when I click the pen. iCloud in the mail app still does not work.

Only opens if you are not connected to a wireless network. If you are connected it force closes right after splash screen. Reading reviews here sounds like this has been a problem for years. I was on the fence about whether to keep my new surface pro 6. I'll be returning it. The fact the companion app by Microsoft for its hardware does not run on its hardware is total WTF. If they cannot get something as simple as that correct hlw can I have faith in purchasing $1000 plus of hardware from them??? and this is on a brand new surface pro. All I have done is add my account install updates and chrome
