" ... the paper is awesome to write on and the concept it fantastic! ... "

" ... My kid loves this thing and I like that I don't have to keep buying paper. ... "

" ... The paper is really nice thick quality and they're even numbered! ... It's not the normal size of paper (wider than the normal notebook) but I kinda like it like that. ... It's not lined but has dots instead (think of like boxes on wrapping paper) Overall, I love this product and just feels good to write in it ... "

" ... I even showed them a demonstration on how it worked. ... "

" ... The downside (and yet upside) is that it took me three months to be able to try the microwave because it has a LOT of pages. ... "

" ... I plan on showing my students this product this year! ... "

" ... I bought one of these last year. ... "

" ... Been using this for about a month now. ... "

" ... The app is cool I was able to take picture of one page and upload it to my email, but after that none of the other pages would work . ... "

" ... They also have free pages you can download on their web site. ... "

" ... It works perfectly with the Rocketbook App. ... "

" ... I also love that I was able to buy the Pilot Frixion pens separately - a ten pack in all different shades - for less than $10. ... "

" ... A total of 400 pages. ... I also deal with keeping them both at room temperature to avoid writing in invisible ink. ... "

" ... Love the erasable ink and variety of colored pens! ... "

" ... But ink disappears with heat. ... "

" ... I am shocked how well the ink disappeared in this book! ... "

" ... You may only be able to microwave it 5 times, but you can always erase the pen ink, which I just LOVE! ... "

" ... There are people that say that the ink once microwaved remains, and this is true, since the ink doesn't "erase" but rather it changes color. ... "

Size

smaller, notebooks, rocketbook, notebook, notes

+83%

-17%

" ... The Rocketbook Wave Smart Notebook is a great way to cut down on the number of notebooks you carry around with you. ... "

" ... It's like an all-in-one type thing and if you want to upload it to multiple places it makes that way more convenient as well. ... "

" ... I use the large size at work, and the small in my purse for notes, etc. ... "

" ... It is a nice small size for me and sits with my planner. ... "

" ... I purchased the executive edition and the size is perfect for travel. ... "

" ... I purchased the larger size first to use in my office and then later the smaller one for more personal use. ... "

Design

cool, really cool, microwaving, microwaved, idea

+83%

-17%

" ... looking forward to microwaving mine. ... "

" ... This technology is so cool! ... "

" ... I have not microwaved it yet, but I look forward to trying it. ... "

" ... Very good although the dots/lines are hard to see. ... "

" ... It also got a lot of compliments about the cool technology in the notebook. ... "

" ... Really, really cool idea. ... "

" ... Great for collaboration with artists/designers ... "

" ... Looks very sharp. ... "

Build Quality

binding, book, cover, apart, spiral binding

+26%

-74%

" ... The pen was bent. ... "

" ... I like the idea of this notebook, but it is not practiced in its size and durability. ... If it is reusable it should have a hard cover or something that will not get bent when going through usual daily use. ... "

" ... The only complaint I have is that the cover of the book scratches off pretty easily ... "

" ... Plus, the spine of the book fell apart after a week as well, so I never actually got to microwave it, it basically just fell apart. ... "

" ... The notebook itself is not made very well, I travel with mine and not only is the color wearing from the front cover but the very very cheap plastic binder that keeps the pages intact is splitting apart from both the top and the bottom. ... Over all its good for what it does but it needs some revisions to build quality. ... "

" ... The packaging was fine but the front cover was damaged on the corner ... "

" ... You are at risk of the notebook catching on fire, and the notebook is cheaply made. ... It was shipped to me all scratched up and the binding was broken. ... "

Cleaning

shark tank, microwave, notebook, marks, print

+45%

-55%

" ... Just wish I could break the habit of wiping away the erasure . ... "

" ... Gave to a friend, worked great until he attempted to clean it. ... "

" ... The microwaving process leaves burn marks on the pages and warps the notebook. ... "

" ... The microwaving process doesn’t remove absolutely everything (you might need to erase some marks in the book with the frixion pen) but it’s very convenient and pretty cool. ... The only complaint I have is that the cover of the book scratches off pretty easily ... "

" ... Not quite as impressive as I saw on Shark Tank. ... "

" ... I bought Bamboo Slate today and I think thats a lot better product than this. ... "

" ... Using the microwave can be gross if it's not fully cleaned. ... "

" ... Minus: fingerprints might stick on the outside and the mug may leave a print itself . ... "

Scan Quality

scan, notes, pdf, notebooks, notebook

+76%

-24%

" ... Plethora of options for where to scan pages to. ... "

" ... I can now EASILY combine into ONE pdf if I want, just by changing a few settings, and scanning each page. ... Obviously, you can buy 400 pages of notebook paper and colorful pens, then scan notes into pdf all for less than $27. ... "

" ... But the scanning is incredibly useful ... "

" ... I don't have to remember to scan or file the notes later, and I don't have to use Dropbox, Evernote, etc. ... "

" ... She loves the construction and size of the notebook, and especially loves the scanning pages and tagging them (in Evernote anyway) so that if she needs to find note from a client meeting, she can pull up a search on her computer instead of rifling through 3 or 4 notebooks looking for something she wrote in one of the margins. ... "

" ... When you get the app and start photographing the pages it's like you're scanning them. ... "

Comfort

" ... The benefit of being able to write by hand and have those notes backed up digitally? ... "

" ... Fun to play with for a while but its usefulness wears off quickly. ... "

" ... Also one of the bindings broke on mine after a couple semesters, but overall has held up quite well, better than a normal notebook would. ... "

" ... Use it every day, might get larger pad too ... "

" ... Also got the Rocketbook "pads" . ... "

" ... Still, the strokes accumulate over time, and that means that the page begins to have wear-and-tear on it. ... "

" ... First of all, the only unique feature of this product is its ability to be erased in the microwave. ... "

" ... I heard that you can't erase the writting in the notebook after 5 times in the microwave. ... "

" ... The idea was great but the size of the notebook wouldn't fit in my microwave. ... "

" ... And the book is kinda big so hard to fit in the microwave. ... "

" ... Wouldn't work in our microwave. ... "

" ... My microwave oven isn't. ... "

Fit

" ... A great and easy way for me to stay organized. ... "

" ... The paper is nice and thick, however, the front and back cover get scratched up really easily. ... Also one of the bindings broke on mine after a couple semesters, but overall has held up quite well, better than a normal notebook would. ... "

" ... I would certainly recommend using the dimensions provided and making sure your notebook will fit before buying. ... "

" ... I would suggest that they ship the book with a pen that will fit into the snap ring binding properly. ... "

" ... The magic *is* in the paper - it is beautiful, heavy paper and snapping scans are easy and fast. ... "

" ... Could you make a Rocketbook that is smaller so I can fit it in my scrubs pocket because the idea of microwaving it at the end of my day to erase everything and sterilizing it in the process makes me really happy. ... "

" ... Also people saying "what's so special, I can just manually take a picture and upload it!" ... "

" ... I also bought the colored Frixion pens, and the colors really POP in the scanned images. ... "

" ... plus the pictures didn't look very quality. ... "

" ... The pics come out so clear. ... "

" ... The blue and red frixion pens work best for the pictures and saving. ... "

" ... Great for school work, for writing and the ability to simply take a picture and upload it digitally so that you can access from anywhere? ... "

" ... I would greatly share this notebook with friends and family. ... "

" ... This was a gift for a tech savvy office worker. ... "

" ... it will really help me in meetings. ... "

" ... I must get more books for my friends and family. ... "
