HOMESTEC Reusable Smart Notebook - Lined Eco-Friendly Notebook with 2 Erasable Pen, Erasable Wirebound Notebook, Waterproof Spiral Notebook (8.7x11.2 Inch)

Really wanted to love this, and in many ways I do. BUT, be warned, do NOT use the eraser on the pens. Doing so removes a coating on the pages and leaves an unpleasant mark and makes future writing/erasing in the spot less effective. I contacted the seller and they told me that I had erased too aggressively. So, if you just use heat erasing and/or are really careful with the pen eraser, it's quite good.Also, be sure to give writing 30 or secs to dry. It smudges very easily.

The paper and the pens are great. Any erasable pen would work well, though. Paper is so smooth. I actually prefer writing on this than on regular paper. Love that it comes with a couple of extra things. Binding is durable. Erases like a dream with the eraser, or with water. Some people like to use a hair dryer for an entire page, but I find that water works best - I use a tiny little spray bottle because you don't want to get it too wet, or it will take longer to get all the moisture off. Absolutely recommend this notebook.

This is a really great notebook as long as you use the Pilot Frixion Erasable pens. It says you can use a hairdryer to make the ink disappear. I haven't tried that yet, only with water. The water and cloth seem to work great. I've been using it for a couple of days now and love that I can get a few days of notes in there before I need to clean my notebook to start all over again. My only complaint is that I have no use for the dotted pages (only the lined pages). So, for those pages, I've taken a sharpie to make the lined pages. And don't use the pens that come with it. They don't work. They are much too light. I have no need to take pictures of my notes to remember them, so I don't use anything digital. But otherwise, it is a great notebook. Perfect size. Suits my needs and allows me to save some trees...

The product is just as advertised, came with several additions as a surprise! It came with 2 pens and several tags to help you organize your work.Great product and I am placing a new order to give away to my clients!

I have a smaller rocket book notebook that is great, but expensive.I bought this b/c I wanted a cheaper alternative and something larger. I can’t tell the difference. It says supposed to use a hairdryer to wipe off, but I actually just use a damp papertowel to wipe it just like rocketbook.I used to go through lots of paper notebooks so I like when I’m done I just wipe away content. Less to lug around and no paper to shred.I haven’t exposed it to high temperatures so don’t know what would happen. If content would disappear? My notes aren’t that important to care.The pages in front have calendar and to do list and some other pre-printed. It’s has a grammar issue on a few pages, but it doesn’t affect its use. That and the unknown about the temp would be why I wouldn’t gift, but otherwise this fits my need and I would purchase another for myself.I don’t use the software for this product so can’t comment.***update 2/22** Don’t use the included pen. I wiped away some of my content I wrote with that pen and I can still see it very lightly on the pages. Pen didn’t last very long either. I use the frixon pens recommend for rocketbook and haven’t had that issue with this cheaper notebook. I also like that pens come in multiple colors. These are the pens I use : “Pilot Frixion ColorSticks Erasable Gel Ink Pens, Fine Point (0.7mm), Assorted, 10 Count (32454)”

If you are still burning through paper notebooks you need to get one of these!Reusable notebooks are a great way to reduce your paper waste and for students it is helpful to only need this one notebook for any or all classes.It does feel like a regular notebook though so be careful of handling and wear and tear.Newyes provides 2 erasable pens, but I bought the pilot frixion pens to go with it since I'm used to them from prior use with the rocketbook. You can be the judge based on my trial with both.There is an app for this smart notebook that you can use. I think it looks cool, but it does seem a bit confusing if not limited in comparison to tocketbook's app. But if you spend time going through the features and settings it isn't that bad.On an end note, I would just like to emphasize how useful the concept of a smart notebook is and would recommend that you try it out and see if it works for you. Or if you know someone in need of a gift, just get them this!P.s. DON'T GET THIS WET OR LEAVE IN YOUR CAR DURING THE SUMMER!!!

I like that I can erase and start over.

The only thing that i disliked was the pen, they were both low on ink, but regardless it did the job. I've used the same pages countless times for my studies. I highly recommend the erasable pens .07 tip. the fine point pens will most likely damage the pages and durability. the .07 tip (erasable) pens are much easier to use on, and erase.

I absolutely 💯 percent am in love with this book. It comes with a few planner or journal type template pages of "things to do" and "important dates to remember" type pages as well as line notebook sheets and dotted sheets. So this reusable note is not only reusable but it's versatile. Someone could find a way to use this even if they do not usually keep notes.I purchased this as a birthday gift for my daughter. She loves to draw, take notes, she really just loves writing and doodling. And she loves it.As a busy mother I tend to keep notes and have weekly planners but when plans change your left to cross out what you originally had. With this notebook I can ERASE the altered plans or details.I used the included pens and erased with the eraser on the pen and I also erased with the cloth they included. It is meant to be slightly damp not dry.I love how know matter what I need this note book for it has what I need. So instead of always borrowing my daughter's im going to buy myself another one.This is another amazing product from this company. There shipping is very fast and I love the customer service.This item I will rate as 10 out of 10. And I definitely recommend buying one for yourself and buy one for a friend lol like me they might not even know something like this has been made.

Nice size & variety of pages with to do lists etc. The ink doesn’t fully erase with hairdryer, hardly did for me, but a wet cloth worked great. If the text is left on a few weeks, then it doesn’t entirely erase (leaves a light mark ). Pens stopped working in less than two months, one last just one week. Overall decent notebook . Wish there were more pens & lasted longer . Haven’t used the smart features, but it sure beats paper wastage . Have to buy new pens now to be able to use notebook

Come with 2 erasable pens and a set of sticky notes, notebook is enough to write and draw, paper quality is wonderful, write and erase easily. Recommended!

C'est super pour prendre des notes, effacer si on a plus besoin, arrêter de prendre des notes partout, c'est maintenant tout à la même place, plus de post it !

Not sure why I got it, I'm using pen and paper. Lol
