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

I was going through a standard notebook every few weeks (lots of notes for work) and the prices kept going up not to mention piles of notebooks lying around (need to shred the notes, can't just toss them). Saw this and decided to give it a go. Writing surface is like a flexible whiteboard. There is an app that you can use to take pictures and store notes but I don't use it so can't speak to how well it works. The spiral binding is thick and pretty solid. I've grabbed the book by just the pages a couple times and have yet to accidently tear a page out. Comes with a microfiber cloth to erase the ink, which comes off very easily. Very easy to write on the surface and also very easy to smudge what you wrote. The Flexion pens they say you need to use write well but the ink takes a good 15 seconds or so to fully dry. What you wrote can leave a "ghost image" on the opposite page if you close the book too quick. If I need to write on multiple pages in one sitting, I put a piece of paper towel between the pages to prevent the smudging. It is a bit pricey (the book and 10 pens was just under $50) but has paid for itself already. Got the 10 pack as people like to "borrow" pens, never to be seen again. There are refills available for the pens as well. Overall, very happy with the purchase. Just wish the ink dried faster.

First of all, of course I love this book because it's designed to sustain and not waste tons of paper. However, there are a few things about it that must be noted. I got this notebook because I'm in grad school, work full time, and do work study. Plus I play a lot of games so I need to take a lot of coordinated notes. I have reviewed everything I tried separately, which I'll paste at the very end of this. TL;DR in the middle. I noticed one reviewer from several years ago test out all of the pen colors and post them. I wanted to do the same because I was hoping maybe the formula had changed, but this is not the case. The photo that says "phone version" I took with my phone, the other photo is the one that was scanned from the Rocketbook, using the pens, with their app. Suffice to say, do NOT waste your money on the highlighters, and the felt/fine tip pens only really work for darker colors. Thus, it's best to get the clicker pens and use those. As others have said, get the pen station. It is CRUCIAL since this can only be used with one type of pen. I had an old pencil case and eyeglass cleaner bottle, so clean them out really well and put the cloth in the front compartment and the extra pens and spray bottle in the big compartment and just carry it around in my back pack. DO NOT ERASE. Just because you can with these pens, doesn't mean you should. Another mentions this as well, but if you erase on the rocketbook pages it messes up the composition somehow and it's much more difficult to write over where you just erased. Also, if you erase sometimes the shavings (?) get stuck on the page and if you wipe them off they smear and then you have to try to gently scrape them off without ruining the page. Lastly, set up with the app was extremely easy and pretty straightforward. It works exactly as it says and I love that I can get a text version and a PDF scan so when my messing handwrite translates incorrectly, I can just check the image on the fly. I appreciate the double pound sign/hashtag for automatic titles as well. You can customize how your file names are saved, if scans are grouped or not, and more. The only thing I'll say is confusing about this, is the pictures they have make it look like you just push on the symbol for your desired destination, but as far as I can tell, that's not how it works because you assign them and then select in the app after scanning? It does come with a section to write down what you assigned to what, which is also erasable! (So don't write too hard if you mess up and accidentally ruin part of one line like I did before realizing it worked the same way). Overall, I LOVE this concept and this book and it's also cool there are so many colors. My partner is actually jealous and immediately wanted one for himself. I already got him one, everything he needs, but he doesn't know that yet! It's a surprise. I use it constantly, in classes and meetings and just notes to myself. I think I'll get my best friend one too since we have a penchant for gifting each other pretty notebooks. TL;DR: Only use the Click pen, do NOT get the highlighters. Absolutely get the pen station and a small glasses or pencil case for a spray bottle & the cloth. App is very user friendly. Reviews on all of the various pens (below): Highlighters These are great highlighters for normal paper, however, if you want to use them with a reusable notebook like rocketbook, they aren't very good. They will smear your ink ans erase parts of what you've written in one to two swipes. They also show up quite poorly, if at all, when scanned and converted to the app. I tested several types of pens on that notebook, and showed the results from the scan and photo with my phone ("phone version") to show this. Fine pens I tested these pens with a few other types, pictured on the left side where it says "fine" next to them. On normal paper, or to the naked eye, they're wonderful and the colors are pretty nice for inexpensive fine tip pens. If you want to use them with a reusable notebook, though, the colors don't translate through when you scan the pages and you lose a lot of the color overall. So, they're great for normal paper but not for reusable, erasable types of paper. Click I tested these with several types of pens, these ones have "click" or a C next to them. Out of all of them, these were the best. They write the most smoothly, and I love that the clicker is the little clip. On normal paper ("phone version") they write beautifully and are lovely shades. If you want them for reusable paper or notebooks, though, they're still the best I've found so far but they're not the greatest. When they scan, they don't translate accurately and most of the shades all look black or much darker than they are. They erase well either way, though. Pen holder This is particularly nice for reusable notebooks or binders. Especially if you can only use specific pens with them, or have one you really don't want to lose. It's also nice because this way you can choose to attach it where and how you want. The only thing I don't like is that you can only carry one pen this way. I'd like to be able to have two attached, but I suppose with this you could just attach multiple!

Truly cannot say enough good things about this. I bought it to use while cooking- I tend to adapt and adjust recipes as I go, and I was wasting so much paper making little notes to remember what I had changed. Then going back to decipher the notes, remember what note goes with which recipe, updating the recipe files that I keep on my computer... it was messy and wasteful, and I knew there had to be a better way. With this notebook, I can just write ## RecipeName ## on the top of a page, and it will automatically become the file name. I can make my notes, then snap a photo with the app, and it goes right to my email for me to open when I get back to the computer. The transcription isn't perfect but it is WAY better than I expected with my sloppy handwriting. It's nice to just make a few adjustments here and there rather than retype everything. Then I can just wipe with a damp cloth and be ready to start again! I've used it for so many other things now too, it is kind of like carrying around a little whiteboard. The app is really easy to use. The executive size is great for carrying around (will fit in a standard purse) but I think I'm going to buy myself the larger one as well! It does take a little bit of time to get used to writing on the paper, it is super smooth and very different from regular paper. And be really careful if you are left-handed because it smudges really easily at first (just a few minutes to dry and it is totally smudgeproof). Erasing is easy and efficient after a little drying time as well, and wiping clean is easy as pie.

I’ve used these before and decided to buy a fresh one. I wanted to use it for sermon notes, but I realized that I write and turn the page quickly, which does not work with this because the ink will smudge if you do not stay on the page for a bit. This could be fixed by buying the larger size notebook. The ink works ok. I have used the pen it came with and the frixion retractable .5 ones. I do find they skip sometimes. Cleaning off the page is easy and it dries very fast. They also hold up well. I have decided to return to plain pen and notebook for my notes but I kept this because it has many other uses that I may use it for one day.

The Rocketbook is excellent. I bought it to test and see if a digital notebook was something that would work for me. Some are very expensive and before committing to one of the more expensive models, I wanted to try one out. Not only do I love using the digital notebook, I will not now, or ever, be buying one of the expensive versions. If I need anymore, I will buying more from Rocketbook. This notebook does everything I wanted it to and more. It is very convenient to set up. The App is easy to use. The automatic e-mail function and the automatic file naming are fantastic. The transcription is improving, and is a valuable tool for searching out keywords. I love being able to search my e-mail and look at all digital correspondence, as well as my hand written notes from any meetings or calls, all in one spot. I was using nine different notebooks daily, and now I am only using my Rocketbook. It's true it does not feel like writing on paper, but I absolutely love the feel of writing in the notebook. It is incredibly smooth. My only issue was that the pen that came with it didn't work. I had ordered an additional three-pack with it to make sure I had extras, and was glad I did.

I have ADHD and this past year I have been really focused on trying to simplify/declutter/organize my home/life. One thing I HAVE to have is a notebook or paper to write down lists of things to do daily to keep me on track - but I realized I have half used notebooks all over my house lol this is the perfect notebook for me in so many ways- - 17 pages (34 sides) gives me more than enough room to have multiple lists or notes but also keeps me “clutter-free” by requiring me to clean a page when I’m officially done with it so I have more room. - if there’s notes that I don’t need to hold on to in the notebook but might need it down the road, I just email it to myself with the scan app. I have messy handwriting and it actually does a great job translating it to actual text if needed. - I have tons of notes in my phone but much prefer writing things down. There’s a few comments about it not having the same feel as pen paper and while I can kind of understand that - it feels totally normal to me. I’m also very used to the Frixion erasable pens, I have a whole pack already that I’ve been using along with the black one it came with. I’ve had this for a little over a week and have wiped it down 5-6 times and it looks fantastic, cleans very well. I also haven’t had much an issue with the ink smearing or anything like that BUT I do let the ink dry before flipping the page or anything like that. Because it’s not real paper, the ink doesn’t immediately soak into it so it does stay wet for a little bit longer but it has not been an issue for me at all. I would say 15 seconds and it’s dry.

I LOVE this product! I'm an itinerant special ed teacher and this has been a godsend for me to be able to keep notes on the fly and then upload them to organized folders at the end of the day, then wipe clear and be ready to go for the next day! I have bragged about Rocketbook to friends and they have in turn purchased it and have been as pleased as I. However - today, after 1 year and 6 months of use (purchased Mar 2020) - the spiral spine broke which means my pages are going to unravel and come apart. I contacted the company via their website and we'll see if they respond! I will update this review and change it back to 5 stars if I experience decent customer service. Hoping for a free replacement or at least a discounted replacement. Update: The company replied saying my item is not warranteed for wear and tear, only manufactured defects. So they can't replace it for free, but they can give me a 15% off coupon code for a new purchase. What can ya do. Wish this would hold up a little better to the wear and tear of a day in the life of a teacher, but I still love it so much that I will buy it again. So my 5 star review went from a 5, to a 2, to a 3.5. It's a 5-star product no doubt, but the longevity/durability is lacking. At least the customer service was prompt and polite.

I absolutely love this notebook! No more wasted paper notes or dry erase boards that always accidentally get smudged. Send notes to designated email, turn handwritten notes into typed text if you choose. I use this like an inbox or brain dump. This is where I work thru ideas before implementing. My only regret is not having this sooner!

Excelente material! Funciona perfecto

Mi ha rivoluzionato il metodo di lavoro e la gestione della mia formazione. Posso digitalizzare velocemente e archiviare con l'utilizzo dei tag i pdf per argomenti. Ora sto valutando l'acquisto dell'A4 !!!!

So this is the second reusable Rocketbook I have bought. The first is a few months old and still going strong but I use it so much I often go into a second book during the day. Whilst the wiping of the pages is another chore to add to the day, it is oddly therapeutic. When cleaning the pages, have a second cloth nearby to dry them so they don't stick. The paper is shiny - I thought that would be a problem when I first wrote on it, but by the end of the first sentence I was rather used to it. There is a good selection of Frixion pens - the felt-tip ones write best on the inside cover (where you put your index), but the pen that comes with it is just fine for writing. It also, of course, works well on normal paper. The scanning app that comes with it works flawlessly for me. It is rather wonderful having the junction of analogue and digital in being able to write on 'paper' and then so easily digitise it. I thoroughly recommend this product.

I thought this was a bit of a gimmick before actually using it and making proper use of it! The way it connects to apps is genius! I highly recommend this product! Next step is integrating AI into the app!

Have to be honest and say I don't read back old notebooks. But writing down things help in my memory. So in the past, I bought and used tons of notebooks and they stack up in my cardboard, and the Marie-Kondo in me is begging me to clear them but memories ✨ Rocketbook changes everything, a snapshot and that memory is forever, clean slate, save space, its the best!!!
