Such a pleasant review
Short, to the point, quite liked it
Keep them coming, and good work😁
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. More to come 👍
Ya I hate when people try to be goofy or when they unnecessarily talk about themselves and their experience .
That's probably the most efficient review I've ever seen: short and straight to the point. Perfect.
Wow, thanks Miko. That's awesome that you liked it so much 👍 You should check out my Everything Rocketbook Playlist for more like it ✌
Thank you for the straight forward and to-the-point review. Other videos were 3 times as long and full of filler minutiae that did not add to the review. I appreciate your effort and time.
Thanks you! That really means a lot to me. I am trying to make my reviews really concise because I find it frustrating to sit through excessively long videos. Please check out more of my content and consider subscribing if you find it interesting. Most recent video is the first unscripted one I've done, but I've tried to keep it as concise as possible too 👍 Thanks again!
@@JakeReevesVideo can you give what the page number with Qr codes I want to check if picture taken randomly how the Apps makes the pictures in proper order
The order is whatever order you scan in. Not based on page numbers, so you shouldn't just scan randomly. But at the same time that means your notes don't have to always be in order either.
I got this for my girlfriend who is a PhD student and one for myself, I work in medical billing. These are amazing! Highly recommended even if you just scribble notes. No paper. No mess. No worries!
I agree. I used them primarily in my Post-Doc while consulting with surgeons on instrument design. They are simple and clean, and unlike tablet-based apps I'm comfortable taking them into patient meetings because they have no cameras.
Hello Jake, I have watched a number of reviews for the Everlast Rocketbook, and yours is the best by far. You hit all the key points in a short amount of time. Thank you.
Thanks! I really appreciate the feedback 👍
I couldn't agree more!
Wow, what great information. I would not have thought of creating a template with a permanent marker. This is one I would definitely use.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! I appreciate it 👍 I hope that it helps. If you make some cool templates the me on Instagram @jakereeves.reviews ✌️ Also check out the Fusion notebook by Rocketbook. It has pre-made templates. I'll have a review out on it in the next 2 weeks or so
I've had my Rocketbook Everlast for quite a while now & frankly it got lost in my home office because I never use it. I found it a couple of days ago & had completely forgotten how to use it. Not only was this video a great refresher, your idea of using a permanent marker to create a weekly agenda page is brilliant!
I'm glad to hear that you've re-discovered it! I had a similar thing happen to me leading up to making this video, but since getting back into it and adapting it to me - I've kept it up. I have a whole playlist of 'Everything Rocketbook' that you may also find of interest. Also, my plan for next month is to try using a printer to more accurately print the templates onto the Rocketbook pages directly... So if custom templates interest you, stay tuned!
I mean they have the fusion now with more types of pages which is better for work and school. In case anyone didn’t know :)
I was thinking about getting this notebook but was not sure on my decision. This video was very useful/helpful.
I'm glad it could help!
I'm just gonna say that I enjoyed your editing skills, lovely shots
Thank you. I'm trying to learn what I can as I go, so that means a lot! Thanks for watching!
Thanks Jake. Very efficient and effective. Love the tips. I bet you saved me much trial and error. I just ordered one today.
Hi Jake, I just bought the Rocketbook Core yesterday (4.4.22) and I just viewed your review today.
I have a few questions for you: its been 3 years since you made this review. Are you still using your Rocketbook? Have you upgraded to something other than the Core? Do you use more than one style of Rocketbook?
Hi Lysandra, thanks for watching! Yes I am still using a Rocketbook, but I have jumped around a lot, trying different versions. You can see my evolution (as well as a few more tips) by checking out my Everything Rocketbook playlist. The Core is a classic! I love that you can make it your own using a permanent marker (I still do this all the time). Currently, I’m using their newest, hardcover, Rocketbook Pro (formerly: Axis). Welcome to the Rocketbook fan community! ✌️
I’m considering getting one and this is the first review I came across. It’s perfect and straight to the chase. No added talking. Great job.
Thanks, I always try to be concise with my reviews, do I'm glad that you found that helpful 👍 I have a playlist of similar Rocketbook topics as well if you're looking for more info ✌️
tried several OCR packages, nothing's able to make sense of my writing.
Then again, neither are most humans, including sometimes myself some months later.
Hi, you're good at this keep doing reviews
Thanks! I appreciate it 👍 Thanks for taking the time to comment ✌️
I have the A4 one in red it’s really good but the only problem is it smudged if you don’t leave it long enough!
If you use permanent marker are you able to clean it off with alcohol? Or does it effect the quality of the pages?
I've heard people have operated success cleaning accidental permanent marker stains with alcohol, but generally you should avoid alcohol on the surfaces because the page coating is vulnerable to damage.
Thanks; I was about to ask the very same question!! Then I found this one! 🙂
Very well defined. I purchased the Executive Sized book and a second for my busy daughter. Thanks for this well-informed video.
Thanks Robert 👍 I'm really happy to hear you liked the video. I have several other Rocketbook videos as well with a few tips and comparisons you may like, and more coming; so stay tuned ✌️
This is the best review I ever seen. Will get one of these. Wondering if you`re still using it daily? Thank you
Thanks - I used it for years, but have transitioned to using the Kindle Scribe as my primary agenda now ✌🏻
Great review, very helpful pros and cons about Rocketbook. Glad you took the time out to do this. A little confusing (replayed a few times) on explaining the suggestion to prevent/reduce smudges- don't use folded mode. I finally understood to open and lay both pages flat, commence writing on left page first until filled. Second, leave left page alone to dry and commence writing on the right page since it takes around 15 seconds or so for the ink to dry. The con here is that most people would prefer to write in folded mode (not fully laid out mode).Thank you for the review, and keep up the great work.
Thanks for the feedback! ✌️
I'll make Note of that.
This is an excellent review because 1) you tell us how long you've been using it for so it becomes more realistic and 2) you provide some tips on how to work around some of the shortcomings. Thanks!
Thanks Jason, I am to present all my reviews in an honest way that depicts my true experiences. So I'm happy that you found it helpful! 👍✌️
What about writing in arabic do you think it would smudge to often thank you
If your palm will trail over the letters then it will be an issue. If you find you get marks on you hand when using a pencil writing on normal paper then you’ll definitely have issues with the wetness of the FriXion ink.
This sounds like something i could use ... i'm a genealogist and take lots of notes pertaining to persons i'm researching. What i need to know is can your notes be uploaded to your personal computer or laptop for organizing large family files. Having a reusable notepad would be great if it can keep me organized. Thanks.
Sounds neat. You can't send them directly to your computer, but you can send them to cloud storage systems like Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, etc. which you can sync to your computer. So, in effect, it can achieve what you want. I have a whole video about the different destinations that you may find helpful 👍 it's in my Everything Rocketbook Playlist ✌
Did you ever try the Remarkable 2 tablet?
Hi Jake, does the pages remain marked if you pressed too hard while writing, like it does on a normal sheet of paper?
I can't say I've had the ink remain on the page because of that, but the page does develop a little bit of an indent if you press very hard.
Do these only work with block letter printing or does it work with cursive as well?
Both to varying degrees - neatness is the most important. And printing doesn’t need to be block letters. Don’t expect excellent transcription though.
very useful review. I am left-handed so I will think about it again.
neat, let me know when it comes in standard sizes
Thanks for the review. One thing I wanted to know can you save the notes to Apple notes?
You can save to iCloud, but not Apple Notes. See this link: rocketbookhelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044478993-iCloud-iOS-Only-#:~:text=Integrating%20Your%20Rocketbook%20App%20with,keep%20doing%20what%20you%20love.
You may also find my video about all the destinations helpful. It is in my 'Everything Rocketbook' playlist ✌️
@@JakeReevesVideo Cheers for the response. I actually just tested under Big Sur you can scan documents directly into Apple Notes, where the handwritten notes can be searchable now. If you are in the Apple ecosystem the Rocketbook app becomes redundant but i love the idea of re-using the paper.
Neat! Good to know 👍
after a while of writing on the pages does it leave indentations from previous work??
If you press hard while writing the indentations will remain on the page.
I recently discovered the Rocketbook and really liking it. My biggest wish is that they will sell versions to fit the disc binding. That will make it easier to mix, match, reorder, and organize.
Nice suggestion - being able to mix and match and customize easier would be great 👍
Great reviews! I love how concise and informative your videos are. Some review videos are SO long and could easily be under 10 minutes. I appreciate your thoughts and demonstrations in all of your videos!
Thank you Lauren! I found the same thing, which is why I wanted to be as concise as possible with my reviews. I'm glad you liked them and appreciate you taking the time to comment 👍
Thanks for a great review video. I’m just wondering if it can work with any of the frixtion markers and felt tips. I’d like to be able to add more color to my notes.
Thanks Amelia, I'm glad you liked it. The short answer is yes. I use pilot FriXion highlighters from time to time, but they can be a challenge to use without smudging the FriXion pen writing. I suspect the felt tips will be good! Check out my channel; I have a few different videos that touch on tips and other products to use with the RocketBook.
Thank you very very much for your video. And especially the ## tip! Man, you just made my day!
You're welcome! I'm really glad you liked it thanks for watching 👍
Just remember not to use the pen "rubber" as it takes the coat off the pages better to just use the cloth and water
I got the spiral on the top I recommend that one for lefties it's nice they thought of us left handed users
Awesome video; thanks for sharing, I am sold
^-^
Hello im from a difrent country and hear we got "caderno inteligente" its super cool go look it up 😊😊
The pens can be a little on the high price, but you can get refill cartridges through Amazon, which will bring the cost down and reduce the amount of plastic being thrown away.
Agreed, I always recommend people buy the replacement cartridges instead of pens 👍
Such a great review, thank you for taking the time for doing this! So helpful!
No problem 👍 I'm glad you found it useful ✌
I'm interested in this notebook, but I'm afraid that ~30 pages wouldn't even be enough for 2 days of classes and I don't think I would have time to wipe them every day. Are there versions with more pages?
The new Fusion notebook that Rocketbook has released has 42 pages, but it switches between 7 line styles. So may or may not work for you.
Just buy one, I think it would be enough and if you realize it's not enough, take another one :)
Great review man. Just a question: Where do you buy those pencils? Are they specific for this notebook? Are they expensive?
The FriXion Pens are made by Pilot, they aren’t specific to the Rocketbook notebook, but they are the only pens you can use with Rocketbooks. You can get them at many stationary stores, as well as Amazon ✌️
So... It's basically no different then writing on normal paper, with a normal pen, and taking a normal picture of it. Except you have to lug around a special notebook and special pen and wipe it off... So it's worse than just using a normal notebook in everyway?
I just got one as a gift, but can't think of any reason to keep it or use it or want it
Lol that is actually brilliantly put! After reading your comment I can’t really disagree with you. You can literally write notes on a normal regular paper notebook and simply take a photo of it save it in a specific photo album for notes or upload the picture to Evernote or whatever note app you use. I guess if you’re for saving the environment and want to cut back on paper use that’s one thing, but if someone is looking for an alternative to digital note taking than simply old school pen and paper is tough to best. Especially since like you said you can just take a picture of it and store it that way.
Left hand gang
Fantastic review ! Had all the info i wanted and quickly!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
So this what Kevin love doing in the offseason
Hi Jake.
Never heard of this before. It randomly appeared on Amazon and my intrigue led me to this review! May I ask - 5 years later, are you still using this as frequently as you once were?
If yes: are there any notable upgrades/improvements you can comment on or;
If no; What are you using now/instead, if anything?
Thanks 😊👍
Hey, I still use it occasionally, but not as much as I used to. Once I switched to using a Kindle Scribe as my agenda, my Rocketbook use took a hit - I still have their Beacons in my office though, and the Rocketbook Pro was a neat development that I keep around 👍🏻
@JakeReevesVideo Hi Jake. Appreciate the response. I'll take a look at the other products you've mentioned. It's actually a gift consideration for my other half. She has notepads for everything, everywhere so looking for a solution which has the least catches or technicalities (ie: when you mentioned the write feel was "off" and requiring approx 15s to dry, I knew that would cause an issue because... I know what's she's like ie: unwilling to adapt or make the relevant considerations 😂). Thanks again for taking time to reply and hope all is going well for you re: qualifications, chosen profession etc ❤️👍
how cool it would be if they were made of stone paper, completely environmental friendly
I've wanted one of these for so long and my mother-in-love just gave me one. I'm so excited. I write a ton of my notes and journal entries by hand.
Awesome 👍 I hope you enjoy it and make it your own ✌️
Cool tip about the titles - I didn't know that
be me
be left handed
smudge all notes while writing
go back to normie pen and paper
leave chad rocketbook behind
be sad
Try free printable pages
Be happy?

My most recent video looks at the free pages - they offer most of the Rocketbook reusable page benefits, as well as some of their own - main one being: real pen, real paper, less smudge
I've the biggest one, so here is my question: how do you feel the paper after many times you wiped it? Because I just take a few notes I need like at least 3 pages (max) so my first page has become a bit hard to write on it, how are your pages? Do you still can write smoothly or you have to press a bit harder?
I can still wrote fine after several uses of the pages. I believe they are coated, so depending on how hard you write and press while cleaning I suppose you could lift it off, but I haven't had any issues yet. They only issues I've experienced are with some discolouration from leaving the ink on too long (30 days +).
im confused, whats the point of this? cant you just write something in pencil or erasable pen on normal paper, and take a picture of it then erase?
You could, but those systems are designed to erase small mistakes, not entire pages. You can do it, but with the Rocketbook pages you can us water and it's much much faster.
Hi Jake
I got my rocketbook! Thanks to your review
My only complaint which you do mention is the smearing. I read that it take 15 secs to dry but thats a long time to wait when trying to take pages of notes.
Was just wondering if u came across any other FriXion pens that dont smear or have shorter drier time?
I'm glad to hear that you found my videos useful. Thanks!
The drying time is definitely a problem of you are trying to take notes and need to flip the page. I'm actually in the process of testing every FriXion pen, marker and highlighter for a new video that should be out in the next few weeks, so stay tuned. The dry time is definitely something that I want to test for each type.
Having said that, I don't expect a dramatic change from 15 seconds. The best advise I would give for now is maybe try using the 0.5mm pens instead of the 0.7mm ones, if you were using them, because they produce thinner lines, which should dry a little faster. Other than that, fans significantly improve drying time - but are impractical for coursework...
Sorry there isn't a clear cut solution yet. And I hope you still enjoy your Rocketbook ✌️
Jake Reeves thank you for all your videos about these topics!! I recently bought a CORE and some fine-tipped FriXion markers (they’ll be in the mail Monday). I used the Rocketbook Wave about a year ago, but my biggest frustrations with it were how quickly it deteriorated in the microwave and how easy it was to dent/scratch the pages. That’s why I’m trying the markers, which I’m guessing will take even longer to dry.
Looking forward to that video. New subscriber!
@@blakeearth thanks! That video is live now, so you can find it on my channel 👍 Thanks for the sub!
I've got one of these and wound up going back to paper notebooks. The smudging always bothered me and the paper always felt too smooth, not papery enough. The icons on the bottom of the page were always super helpful though
The smudging does take some getting used to for sure
Well done video. Hits all the highlights of the rocketbooks
Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment 👍
Is not for me. I make to much mistakes and erase a lot, I need lines, I like the to paste Google images I think I am going to stick to my drawing tablet
Well done review you covered all my questions. I saw in another video that you can use a frixon highlighter is this true?
Thanks Vincent! I am glad I could help. Yes, you can use a FriXion thick point marker as a highlighter! I didn't realize that at the time I made this
The video is good. I could never get used to having to write with the substandard pen that is required for the notebook. If they changed it to enable other pens it might worth trying again.
I'm working on a video right now testing all of the Pilot FriXion options, but I understand what you are saying. The pen definitely takes a bit of getting used to if, like me, you are traditionally a ballpoint ink guy moreso than a gel pen guy.
I just want a pad to doodle maths examples
What are you meant to do if you want to digitally flip your pages to find the right page? And what if you accidentally pass your hands and smudge the ink over multiple area of the page? This digital notebook serves a limited function. A digital notebook should meet the criteria i mentioned and eliminates the need to write in ink.
This is really revolutionary
I've been considering this for s time. I don't need it for uploading. I want to use this as a bullet journal planner. A year at a glance, a monthly calendar and tracker. I'd need the year at a glance to last about a year, the month calendar / trackers a month and the weekly, a week. My question is will this be do-able or is it easier to just use a composition book as I have been? Like can you leave the ink on the pages for an extended length if time?
Great question Michael. I'm actually just writing the script for a video on the new Everlast Fusion notebook and have found myself in a similar situation, where I don't really care about the upload as much as just using it as a reusable notebook.
I just erased some writing from one of my Everlast notebooks that has been there for a few months and there are definitely some shadows that remain from the lettering. The company recommends not letting the ink stay for more than 30-days without erasing, so you may be out of luck. Having said that, I am playing around with just tracking monthly and uploading and erasing accordingly, which may work for you. It doesn't solve the problem of planning something for more than about a month in advance, but it's a good compromise.
I hope this helps. And thanks for watching!
Let's say I write in the notebook and leave the page un-erased for a few weeks. Will it still be easy to erase?
Rocketbook says not to leave it for more than 30 days. I've found that it starts to stain the pages after that, especially if you use the red FriXion pens. Something about that colour makes the staining more prominent. It doesn't become unusable, but the page just looks dirtier.
Thanks. Very nice presentation. I will check out your channel.
Thanks Bernadette 👍 I'm glad you like my presentation style
Very good man
Thanks!
I wanted to get one but I totally forgot that in my school we no longer get to use our phones anymore, course its on my senior year too
Yikes… could always scan when you get home if you don’t fill the notebook up during the day
It's a really cool notebook, but my issue is that you cant use fountain pens with it.
Ya, unfortunately I haven't been able to find a workaround for fountain pens yet... 😕
I found one in Walmart and I saw that it was 19 dollars and I saw “rocket book”and when I got home I looked at what it was and now I want it😂
Should be able to get it on Amazon 👍 Pretty awesome notebooks! I've left links in the description ✌️
So I know there's the coating that can be damaged pretty fast by Frixion erasers. However, I'm worried that the pen tip itself will slowly scratch the page and leave "dent" marks or super-faint residue over time. After so much use, does your oldest notebook still feel like the pages are white and completely flat or does it look like you wrote pencil on a piece of notebook paper >100 times? Using the notebook for school notes next year!
It all depends on how hard you write. The pages are not impenetrable. After a year I notice some pages starting to discolour a bit if you hold them next to a new page, but that's to be expected. This is worse if you use coloured FriXion pens.
So what's the reasonable pressure I should put on the page to make minimal dents and also should I be using thicker points (0.7mm)?
@@stevenmao6766 I can't give you a MPa value. But I generally just wrote normally, allowing the pen to glide like a gel pen and it seems to work well. When you write you'll probably be able to tell if you are pressing too hard.
great review, showed me i did not want one of these without wasting my time
I’m glad the video helped you make the right decision for you 👍🏻
Im trying to decide between executive and letter size. Which is better?
It really depends on portability and note size. I find letter size best for traditional 'class notes', meeting notes and design drawings, but the executive size is my favourite for my bullet journal agenda and short meeting notes 👍 Good luck! ✌️
We use these at my work! They’re so cool!
I love the concept of the Rocketbook, but have some issues with it. The paper feels a bit too smooth/shiny for me and takes some getting used to. Also the front/back covers on it feel cheap. I'm curious to see how their new Axis notebook turns out.
Ya, those ate the biggest drawbacks of the current system. I'm looking forward to seeing the Axis as well. I've backed it on Kickstarter and will definitely be making a video eventually 👍✌
@@JakeReevesVideo The one thing I can't figure out with the Axis is if you can bend it backwards or does it only open to be two pages?
You can. It had been designed to fully flip. I had a call with the product team and that was one of the big features they talked about.
I noticed on Amazon that a Microwave can be used? How? In what context? The video was great I want to purchase these for each of my High School grandchildren.
I did subscribe to your channel for possible further videos!
You should NOT use a microwave with the Everlast/Core, Fusion, Flip, Matrix or Panda Rocketbooks to erase them you just use water and a wet cloth. Only the original Rocketbook Wave notebook could be placed into the microwave to clean it, but the newer Rocketbooks I mentioned above get ruined by the microwave. Good luck! 👍✌️
@@JakeReevesVideo Thanks for commenting so quickly. I appreciate your quick response. I just thought it was weird that the ad showed a microwave (drawing) and nothing else about it.
I have waited to decide whether to purchase a Rocketbook for my college-bound granddaughter for Christmas!
That is strange. No worries 🙂 I'm happy to help if you have questions. I also have an 'Everything Rocketbook' playlist that you may find helpful, with 20+ videos on the notebooks 👍✌️
Nice review, thank you -
Edit:-Ah, I found your other reviews on this that answer my questions I think.
No longer relevant part of my comment: but I'm still walking away unclear about the actual pens. They must run out and you need to restock them, correct? How detailed of note-taking can you go, like can you do extremely fine drawings of, say, trig problems with angles, points, arrows, tics on the graphs, etc etc? I also still don't quite understand where the pages actually go... with a physical notebook, I can flip through a hundred pages of notes and locate what I'm looking for, but I loose that tactile "searching" with a digital simulacrum of this. So I keep bouncing back and forth.
The pens come in a variety of tip sizes (I have two videos about the FriXion pens) and they are capable of all the levels of detail that you described. They are like normal pens in performance with the exception that they feel more like extra smooth gel pens because of the synthetic paper. For the note organization, check out my destinations video. Your notes end up in the Rocketbook App (which has a lot of search features) as well as the colour destination (google drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, etc) of your choice. You do loose the tactile feel of flipping through your notes, but I find that worthwhile to spare myself of the clutter + the added benefit of being able to use Optical Character Recognition features like smart search. It is a tough call though if you are passionate about the traditional note flip experience. Good luck ✌️
Huh? I am not sure if the system is excellent or plain weird (and cumbersome). I mean versus a bullet journal or Notify type system based on Keynotes layout. I have an ipad already and am considering testing this as backup.
Walmart here in Canada is selling an open box of the 'Core black-lined' w/ black pen. Price is CAD28.66 + 5% sales tax in my province. Original price is CAD47.77 = USD33. This is 40% discount. But even at this promotional price am not so tempted to try it. At twenty bucks, maybe.
Unless (and maybe even then) both the app and storage are are gratis, well, it seems expensive.
I'm curious, they're currently giving them away for free and wondering what the catch is?
If you can get one for free, that’s awesome! Try it out 👍
Where, I just ordered one for 35.00
Nice video! I already love the frixion pens, but this is the next level ;)
I'm glad you like the video. You may also like my 'Everything Rocketbook' playlist 👍
another question ;) Have you used the same rocketbook for 6 month? Or have you replaced it along the way? Just curious how long I should expect it to last. I love it so far, but have noticed the writing staying in the shadow a bit on the pages that I use the most. It doesn't effect the scan. It seems to happen mostly with the colored pens.
I have multiple Rocketbook's, but have been using all of them over the course of the last year interchangeably. I have had the same shadowing happen, particularly with red pens, but mostly of I leave it for 30-days or more. I think it's fair to expect it to last you a year or more if you can avoid letting the ink rest on the pages for more than a week. I hope this helps, and thanks for watching!
@@JakeReevesVideo thank you! Yeah, I generally clean my pages each day, but that it helpful
Would like to have one.
Thanks for the video! Nice invention
Great review!, I'm rocketbook user and all that you said is true. Congrats!
Thanks for watching and supporting! 👍
Great review! I'm trying to figure out how to be more cost effective and environmentally friendly for nursing school, this is definitely helpful.
Thanks Sofia! I'm glad you enjoyed the review 👍
One notebook will last how much long.
Means without damage of paper etc, with daily writing of around 20 pages?
Thanks for the comment! This is a good, but hard to answer question. Rocketbook claims that you can endlessly reuse it, which is probably true if you care for it very well, but it will really depend on a few things. The most important is how much pressure you use to write with. I find heavy writing actually imprints on the page, which makes it harder to clean over time. For me, I have been using them for nearly a year now and they show the wear (particularly the covers that scrape against things), but are still perfectly fine for use - mind you I don't write on the same page every day I probably use each page 1-3 times per month. I went into it thinking that if I got 1-year, that would be good.
@@JakeReevesVideo Thanks for giving your precious time to answer my question.
And thanks for honest answer.
Really impressed by your review
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it 👍
Hi!
Are you still using it?
Really worth it to buy?
Yes I am. Check out my Everything Rocketbook playlist - it documents a bunch of their products I’ve used, as well as some tips and tricks, etc. that I’ve discovered along the way. I still recommend it. Currently, I primarily use a Executive sized Orbit 👍
great info - thanks! I might reconsider purchasing one because I am left handed.
It's a tough call since the ink is so wet initially... Unless you're ok with writing upside down, sacrificing the search feature and inverting the pdf after imported
Looks like a great product for right-handed people. 🤷♂️
The best option for lefties is there free printable pages (I just made a video about these) in many ways they are as good, if not better than the reusable notebooks 👍
@@JakeReevesVideo thanks for sharing and the prompt reply. i will watch the video. 👌
It is great video, easy to understand and direct to the point.
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback 👍 I'm glad you liked it ✌️
I’m left handed and a writer. I’m participating In NanoWriMo this year and was thinking about inviting I’m this. Is it worth it? My handwriting doesn’t typically smudge, but if this ink takes long to dry it does concern me some.
The ink will be much more likely to smudge with the Rocketbook's synthetic pages than with a standard paper notebook. I have a whole video that looks at the FriXion pens and their drying time, etc. But typically I'd say you're looking at about 10-15s to dry, which may be an issue if you at all drag your palm across the writing. I hope this helps 👍
I use this for writing down guitar tabs when learning songs for when I'm focusing on a certain part of the song. It's good.
Nice use case 👍
Thank you so much for your videos, Jake, I totally agree that your Everlast reviews are the best. I have a quick question, if you can render a comment I would so appreciate it. I started some time ago using a very mild baby wipe instead of water system to erase in my Everlast. It seems to work very well, but I don't know if I'm harming my pages in the long run. I just ordered and will get today a new Rocketbook "Smart" so I thought I'd get your opinion. The wipes I use [my grandbaby's!] are "au naturelle"! My Everlast is 3 years old, so I do see "ghosts" at times and on certain heavily used pages, but I don't want to cause that in my new notebook if I'm harming pages with using the wipes. Any thoughts? Thank you so much for all of your help!
Hi Linda, thanks! I'm glad to hear that you find my Rocketbook content helpful. In general, I don't recommend using baby wipes on Rocketbooks because anything other than water may damage the surface coating of the pages, so you'll want to be careful and make sure you check what ingredients are in the wipes. Having said that, if you have been using them for 3 years and aren't running into any issues other than a little ghosting, then the natural ingredients may be inert when contacting the synthetic pages. A little ghosting in heavy areas is to be expected. I try to take really good care of my Rocketbooks, as I'm sure you do, and I still have ghosting in areas where ink has pooled heavily. I think the ghosting is just something that we have to live with if you leave ink in the notebook for any period of time unfortunately. I hope this helps! All the best!
@@JakeReevesVideo Thank you so much, Jake!
You're welcome Linda 👍
Good idea. But I’d hold off on powder or moisturizer.
Thank you for a succinct yet thorough review!
You're welcome Gina. Thank you for watching!
This is marvelous 😮😮😮😍😍😍
Very helpful note for online classes...
That it is. I'm nearly 3 years into using the system now and still going strong 👍 Thanks for watching ✌
i can't figure out if this is a positive or negative review
There are pros and cons to the device - it was my best attempt at an honest review. It’s now about 3 years later and I still use Rocketbook products, so I do like them overall, but there are tradeoffs to the system.
Can you save as a word document? If not, have you ever tried to convert the PDF format to word? Thanks for your review!
Hi Nathalie, thanks for watching!unfortunately, you cannot save the scans as word documents within the app. I haven't yet tried converting the output to word from PDF, but if you are try it, please leave the feedback here so everyone else can know about it! Interesting idea 👍
you can convert pdf to word in adobe acrobat by exporting as word doc
Once again as someone late to the Rocketbook party, this is very helpful! Thanks for sharing friend!
You’re very welcome Beth 👍
Aw man I'm a lefty and I'm not sure I'd want it now.
Ya, it's tough with the smudging... The interference from the coil binding can be avoided if you go with the new Rocketbook Flip, but the smudging is really dependant on your writing style. Good luck ✌️
