Rocketbook Fusion Reusable Digital Notebook - Smart Notepad A5 Red, 7 Styles, To Do List, Daily Journal, Weekly & Monthly Planner, with Frixion Erasable Pen, Office Gadget Reduces Paper Waste

As per a previous review, my wife loves writing and using To-Do lists so I bought her one of these. This is a very clever invention that allows you to erase what you have written and use the pages over and over.

I'd been looking at getting a Rocketbook for a while before it came up as a Treasure Truck Deal of the Day, so because there was a bit of money off that was my prompt to buy. And yes, I'm glad I did.I have the app on my phone but haven't needed to use it yet and at the moment I'm using my Rocketbook to write my work shifts on the Calendar page and to make notes on a medical condition I have, but Rocketbook could be used for just about anything you want. It comes with a microfibre cloth that you only need to dampen to erase what you've written on one of the pages. It also comes with a black Pilot Frixion ball pen and the ink of these pens is easy to erase with the dampened microfibre cloth. If you need the pens in a different colour there are multicolour sets available depending on how many you want and how much you want to pay (do check. Prices vary and it *has* to be these specific Pilot pens. I think they are sometimes available in a fairly easily accessible high street stationers but you need to check first - the one with the blue banner and name beginning WH, but I've always seen them available on Amazon when I've looked).As for who this item will be useful for, that would be just about anyone from school-age people to ones with their own home offices and yes, it's a very versatile thing. I'm considering getting a set of the coloured pens to create multi-coloured pictures because of the eraseability of the ink - which is immensely handy!I would definitely recommend this to anyone toying with the idea of getting one, they are really very handy. They are available in other sizes than A4 if it's one in a different size you need. I would say they probably weigh less than an ordinary paper notebook and of course infinitely more gentle on the environment than paper notebooks.Shark Tank were really silly to have turned down Rocketbook, especially in these days of greater environmental safeguarding because to me it makes good environmental sense to use products such as smart notebooks such as these. Now how other similar smart notebooks compare to Rocketbook I don't know and are unable to compare as the Rocketbook is the only one I have (but to be honest, I haven't looked at what other ones similar are available because I don't need to), but I do highly recommend Rocketbook. It looks good and is as easy to use as any other notebook but with the ability to erase your notes with the cloth provided and the app makes it immensely more useful. You will only be limited by your own imagination.

I love how this keeps me organised in a way that paper notebooks don't (because I misplace them and can't find the page I wrote particular notes on).Pros: lots of pages and enough different templates to do day to day note writing and diary entries.Cons: after a few months use, I notice, as others have mentioned, the ink doesn't write onto the surface as it did initially. It seems like the pen is running out... but they work OK on a page I haven't used before. So it seems the page surface loses some integrity after a few months of use. This is not a cheap notebook, so I expected better performance.Suggestions: please include a music manuscript template in future varients of the Fusion!Include a pen holder on the side of the notebook as standard.

My job necessitates copious daily note taking and I’ve been looking into smarter options than regular pen and paper for a fair while. I’d decided on a new tablet and stylus but after reading recommendations from peers about Rocketbook thought the comparatively low outlay was worth a try. I’ve only had it for a few days but already feel relieved to have done away with my old system and will have fully digitised records from now on. It easy to set up destinations on the app if you’re reasonably proficient with IT and once that’s done (I use OneDrive) it’s a pretty smooth process. I find the pen is not as good as my preferred ballpoints but it gets the job done - and even as a left hander it doesn’t smudge which is something I was a bit concerned about. For a low budget solution I can’t fault it and am already recommending to others.

To give this the fairest review I can, it is a very good idea, not needed to buy any new note books through my degree so far and no loose notes hanging around as it’s all saved on my phone and iPad, but the pages once wiped, no matter how hard you dry them, can not be re-written on instantly, they need time to fully air dry which is a bit annoying when you are in a lecture and you need more pages. I knocked one star off for this but it’s fully worth its 4 stars.Good size.I got the case for it too, looks smart and professional.It also transcribes into text on one note if you have good handwriting, time saving at its best - copy and paste into assignments etcI have just bought a new pilot frixion pen, last a few months of regular use but ran out quicker then a normal pen. Not an issue, maybe buy 2 then you have a back up, and buy a new one when you start using the back up.All in all, it’s a time saving, useful notebook, which has served me well so far, with just the one annoying niggle of the dry time on the pages. And the cloth I used to clean it was only very slightly damp, and pages felt dry to touch but we’re not fully dry when i came to write on them

This is is green and easy to use, any small thing we can do to save the planet and reuse deforestation is so beneficial
