Rocketbook Core Reusable Spiral Notebook, Executive Size 6x8.8, Red - Dotted Pages, App-Connected, Erasable, Durable Cover, Ideal for School, Work, and Creative Projects

I've been using this for about a week now and am very happy with it. I moved away from using notepads/notebooks a long time ago just because I struggled to keep things organized. I tried a lot of different things and finally settled on an iPad, Apple Pencil and OneNote. The downside of that was carrying around 1.5 to 2.5 lbs (iPad with case) all the time and sometimes I just needed something simple to jot down post-it type notes or other quick notes that made using the iPad less than efficient. The Rocketbook has been great. Writing on it feels fine. I've got the app connected to OneNote, OneDrive and email depending on what the notes are for. I've been taking the notes by day and then uploading them to OneNote at the end of the day for regular stuff. For project specific things or if I'm looking to send notes out to a group I'll save it in OneDrive as a PDF and then send it out. The Frixion pens work fine and the pages clean off very easily. This is saving me some weight in my travel bag and have been much more convenient than using the iPad for all notes.

Engineering student here. I went from carrying loads of mostly empty notebooks to just carrying the Everlast and one backup notebook just in case I needed some normal paper. As someone that bikes to campus every day, the lighter load was a huge plus by itself. I'm not someone that can take digital notes since the act of handwriting things is what helps me remember things best, but I'm also terrible about digging through notebooks to find information. With the Everlast I get to take my handwritten notes, then have them titled and organized digitally for quick reference when I need them. I combine it with the Cornell note-taking method for even faster reference as well. The "paper" itself is interesting. Because of the material, there isn't any real friction to speak of when writing, This leads to an almost perfectly smooth glide, which takes a bit of adjustment but I enjoy now. It uses a dot-grid layout, which has always been my preferred kind of notebook for it's flexibility. It has 32 pages total, which i think is the perfect amount. After about two days of school work, it forces me to review, notate, scan, and clear my pages. Being forced to look back through what I have a very helpful constraint. Everything wipes clean easily, as advertised. I will say that taking the time to wipe down the full 32 pages when I've been lazy about scanning does sometimes feel like a lot of work, but it's well worth it for all the other benefits mentioned. The app is simple, fast, and works great. At first some of my lighter lines weren't registering consistently, but I discovered that the app camera has a button to turn on your flashlight when you scan your pages. Doing this has only given me high quality scans ever since. I look forward to using the Everlast every day. It's become my class notebook, reading notebook, scratch paper, everything. Especially combined with a laptop, tablet, or other comfortable screen for reviewing your scans, it provides an amazing amount of flexibility and convenience. I can't recommend it enough to anyone that's struggled feeling organized working solely out of regular notebooks.

The rocketbook is pretty good, but I’m a little frustrated with the quality control. Good things first: the notebooks erase perfectly for the most part, and the scanning app is great. It eliminates small smudges and does a good job of cleanly converting my notes into a digital image. The OCR can actually read my handwriting which is surprising as well. The only thing the software struggles with is distinguishing between colors (I tested blue and black and it thought most blue was black) when I scan in low light conditions. I’ve been wanting to go digital with my note taking for a while, and this is the perfect tool for it. The notebooks are expensive, but they’re cheaper than buying a tablet and fancy bluetooth stylus. Now for the not so great: First off, I expected to receive the pens pictured with each book, yet I received a different pen with every book. My letter size one came with a 0.5mm clicker pen, my executive came with a capped 0.7mm pen, and my mini (bundled with the executive) came with the 0.7mm clicker pen pictured. I can’t stand capped pens so I’ll be taking the ink cartridge out of the capped pen and putting it in the clicker when it runs out of ink. I write fairly hard and am worried the 0.5mm pen will damage the page, so that one is pretty much useless for me. The other issue I had was my letter sized book came with several wrinkled pages (packaging was fine) and one wrinkled spot on every single page (the spot on every page was small; it looked like what would happen if you stuck a pebble in the front cover and pushed down hard). Normally I wouldn’t be too worried about a few wrinkles, but on a $30 notebook it’s unacceptable. I’m returning the letter sized one and getting a replacement. One other unfortunate thing is my executive notebook has a small smudge I can’t erase after just using it for a little while (2 days or so). Not a huge deal, but a little annoying. Overall, I recommend rocketbook if you’re converting to digital notes but don’t want to get a tablet. If you’re not going to store notes digitally just go for regular paper; the price for a rocketbook isn’t worth it. Update: Been using these a couple months and they're still great! Highly recommended and I'm bumping my review up to 4 stars.

My wife gave me one of these for Christmas, and it's been great. The only issue is that you need a larger microwave to efficiently erase it, and our smaller (0.8 cubic feet, 900w) microwave doesn't have the physical space for the notebook. It also needed a note on the notebook itself to NOT use any own other than Flexion, because within the first week of owning it, I screwed up and used a Sharpie pen on more than one page. But for every mistake, I managed to figure out a solution. The one thing I would love would be a handwriting to type feature in the software, but that's a pipe dream involving handwriting recognition software that could recognize my handwriting. And as my sister once described it as "the death throes of a walrus with one tusk dipped in ink" that may be quite some time coming. This was purchased as a gift to my father, who not only loves taking handwritten notes but also has a limited amount of shelf space, and used a ScanSnap to convert a large number of his notes to PDF. This hopefully cuts out the middle step and will let him take his notes at meetings and his writing/book group, then share them with others. When I return to university in the next two years, along with a Chromebook, this will be one of my tools used to reduce paper and make sharing notes with others easier. I also use the Rocketbook whiteboard capture pieces, but this is a marvelous system that makes it easy to capture notes and ideas.

The pen it comes with is okay, but I recommend the blue or black ink frixion ERASABLE 0.7 gel pens. The red ink will SLIGHTLY stain if left on a page for more than a few days. Use the wipe with a LITTLE water and your pages will look SO clean and fresh after. For all my pen snobs, the gel pens do glide very nicely, but you have to adjust to the feeling of writing on something SLIGHTLY slick. Be patient. Once you get it down, it's super easy and a super nice consistent pen to 'paper' situation. I am excited for the sticky notes rocketbook just came out with, and can't wait to try them! This is perfect for ADHDers who constantly need a to do list, and there are tons of 'formats' for daily/weekly/productivity/bill trackers on pinterest that can help you organize your brain. Highly recommend making a habit tracker here and keeping a bag/backpack big enough to carry it with you at all times. The app works great and uploading to your drive or email is SUPER simple. I love this product and love that it's so ecofriendly and neurodivergent friendly. Finding this one product will save me at least $100 a year on notebooks and will help me stay organized and less overwhelmed. Thank you rocketbook!

As with any new products, this notebook I received today has pros and cons. The pros include the ease of setting up the destinations and file types, the clean erasure of the pages, the quick dry of the pages once erased, and the convenience of use. The less than thrilling qualities includes the poor quality of the pen that came with the notebook; I now have "This pen sucks" imprinted into my first page because I pressed really hard into the page trying to get the pen to write. Because the pen wrote so poorly, the scanned image of the text is also barely legible, which makes the notebook basically non-functional. Additionally, there was a random sticky smudge on the first page along with random debris - a scrap of paper, cardboard, and even lint? throughout the pages of the book. I also noticed that the scans do not always pick up the destination I have selected at the bottom of the page, even though I have assigned that destination in my app account. I do think as I use the notebook the pros will overcome these inconveniences because the additional pack of pilot Frixion pens (0.5 point) write much better (2nd photo) than the original pen that came with the notebook. I think that this notebook is great in theory and ok in execution. I hope in the future these notebooks are improved to overcome some of these concerns to become truly excellent products.

I assume you know Rocketbook contains pages you write on with a water based ink pen, then scan them with your phone to send an image of each page to Evernote, email, etc. Then you erase the writing using water and a rag. The medium size is great because I use it every morning on a lapdesk with a 10" Fire tablet to watch news videos and it is convenient to take notes. Yes, I could type notes into Evernote directly, but I prefer old fashioned handwriting for this creative phase of my research. Using their app to take pictures of pages for download to the PC (or Evernote which I use) works well once you figure out the menus and workflow. The app needs some work because if you have 10 pages to photo, there are too many clicks for each single page and that process should be streamlined to make it easy to do a batch of 10-30 single pages in a row. Some issues to expect: - Rocketbook requires the use of a special Frixion pen with water-based ink that can be erased with water and a rag. DON'T forget and use a normal ink pen - it won't erase. - Don't buy Frixion colored pens because the ink is too light unless you are an artist and want to do color drawings. - New users like me will forget that you can only use the Frixion pen, and will grab another pen and write notes that then won't erase. The pages are dull in appearance. If you use regular ink, you have to use something like "Goo-be-gone" to remove the ink, and it will remove the top dull coat, leaving a shiny page - but it seems you can still erase Frixion ink from the shiny pages. For awhile, I had about six useless pages with unerasable ink on them until I took the time to find what would remove them. - You really need a way to always keep the Frixion pen with the Rocketbook. You can order an adhesive holder that attaches to the side (which I did) or to the top (which I wish I did instead). Get it for $7 which is EXPENSIVE for a piece of plastic, but it improves the convenience of always having the Frixion pen handy. Then you will find the Frixion pens have a rubber cover on the barrels which won't insert into the holder easily. So you have to use two hands and push the top of the pen into the holder to use it. - Frixion pen ink doesn't last very long, unlike G-2 pens. Also, you can't buy refill tubes (unlike G2's) and the ink tubes are BLACK so you can't see how much ink is left. Thus for the convenience of using a Rocketbook for it's features, you are stuck with using Frixion pens. I wish a lower-priced, better designed (for Rocketbooks) competitor with longer life and replaceable ink refills would come out. - The Rocketbook app creates image files of each page, but DOES have text recognition for ONLY the TOP line of each page (surrounded by double #), thus it shows up as the searchable title line if you send it to an Evernote Notebook like I do. They do have versions with full word recognition features but I haven't looked into it (yet). that would be great if you wanted to use full text searches in Email or Evernote, for instance. It would be great if they had a way to code some keywords so you could enter keywords for each section, identified by, for instance, tag names you use in Evernote, thus you categorize or can find labeled sections more easily with search. - The bottom of each Rocketbook page contains a scannable code. Nowhere did they tell me that the horizontal bottom of each page is NOT part of the image. Apparently, the section with the code cannot be part of images, so they should block it out or make it a different shade with clear info that the bottom 1" of each page will not be part of the picture images and you will lose that info once you erase it. So far, even with the above issues, I still use Rocketbook daily because I got tired of writing notes on yellow pads then retyping them into a word document. I like handwriting notes rather than typing them into a laptop, for instance. I separately ranked Frixion pens as a 3 due to the reasons above.

I saw a co-worker with one of these and it looked pretty interesting so I gave it a shot. I am used to taking a lot of notes in meetings, keeping a To-Do list updated, etc. normal office type stuff. I burn through notepad after notepad, and hold onto them in case i need to refer back to anything later. Having this notepad and being able to sync it to my Onedrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, email has been a huge help in keeping notes organized. having the OCR be able to automatically name the file as the title of the page is a great function too. Unlike the other versions of Rocketbooks, this one doesn't get the freezer/microwave treatement, all you do is wipe it clean with wet microfiber cloth. I have the Rocketbook app on both my S8+ and my iPhone 6S, it works equally well on both (which isn't always the case for phone apps, sometimes if they work great on one platform they're garbage on the other). The app is decently intuitive, not too cluttered, and hasn't done anything screwy, which is about all you can ask for. The only thing that takes some getting used to is that the writing is way smoother than a normal pen on paper. You get over it pretty quick, I actually prefer it to writing on regular paper now. Overall I really like this notebook, I don't have any complaints or gripes.

Justo lo que promete. La sensacion es la de escribir en papel, el papel se ve satinado pero la sensación de escribir es auténtica. Mi duda era si la parte tecnológica no sería lo mismo que escanear con cualquier app, y no, no es lo mismo, esto es mucho más eficiente, rápido y productivo. Soy consultora en productividad y gestión del tiempo y lo estoy recomendando.

J'avais acheté le petit modèle j'ai acheté l'autre modèle moyen mais la pour le prix c'est très cher pour un carnet et 1 stylo effaçable je c'est pas se qui justifie ce prix J'aurais voulu avoir des lignes sur le carnet

Si solo lo quieres para escribir, guardar con la aplicación y borrar lo que has puesto, es tu producto.

I love it Very practical

Gostei bastante.
