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!!

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....

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

Review title of joshuaWon't even install

Well for all the other reviews here it sounds like the app has stability issues or doesn't work as it should. For me, it won't even install, it just says "Pending", so.... Is there any other way to configure the pen settings?

Review title of TerriUnnecessary app

The Serial Number isn't showing up in the app. The Pen settings don't work in the app. It says they've been moved to the Settings App. So I'm not really sure of the purpose of this app.
