I love the rocket book, not so much the app. I have the ever last, and use it with an iPhone XR. I’ll start off by saying that I love being able to put my notes in the cloud, but the app has some problems. On every 5 or so pages you scan, the app has a tendency to cut off about a centimeter for the edges on a page. Also, the handwriting detection it a nifty feature, but for me it’s really a gimmick. Unless you have the most perfect handwriting, it gets totally messed up. Also, it only transcribes through email, so not as useful as it could be. There is also a problem where if you do a bundle scan of 6 or more pages, it won’t send to OneDrive. The recognition of the app is flawless, and it never captures the surrounding of the page, just the page. Overall, I love the rocket book, and the app is a good, but could be a bit better.
I was initially very excited about the Rocketbook. I prefer to hand write my notes, but want to have them with me on my devices. I like the reusability of the Everlast pages.
I would like it if you made these pages with 3 holes punched in them for use in a 3-ring binder. I have used an Everlast page for my To Do list at work. I cut the rough spiral edge off and glued a page to part of a sheet protector to make my own. Unfortunately, I have to glue it again every few weeks.
I also would like to be able to scan directly to my Files on iCloud. I don’t want to have to download/move files from email or the Rocketbook folder on iCloud. There is a different scanning app that allows me to save PDFs directly to my Files. Then I can have them in the folder I want on my Mac and on my phone.
I have tried to get Rocketbook to work with OneNote for over six months and it has never worked. When I finally reached someone in support, he admitted that they are still having problems getting it to work with OneNote. I followed every suggestion in online help and they do not fix the problem. The Rocketbook app just always says that it cannot access my notebooks. It has permission to do so, but it still does not work. The list of OneNote notebooks that shows up is also bizarre, but there is no way for me to figure out where Rocketbook is looking to identify my OneNote notebook library. Support is horribly weak, as well. It is almost impossible to get a response and, when it comes, it is long after you sought it. I have seen folks for whom it works, but it has never worked for me. It was a waste of my money and, to hear their support, they know it does not work reliably with OneNote and they cannot fix the problem (yet). It is a great idea and a great sounding product, but steer clear of you want to use it with OneNote.
Original Post: “When the app doesn’t crash, this is a great product. However, every time I want to upload my work, I cannot, it crashes or stalls. This is the only app that has this issue on my iPhone X. Please revert back to a version of your app that works, because right now it’s trash and I’m fearful that I’ll lose my unloaded work if I uninstall. Fix this!”
Updated Post: After contacting the support line, they informed me that their last update was the problem and a new update will be available in a few days, which was true. The app works as it’s supposed to, and I even used a few tricks with the OCR. I would like to see if the OCR can recognize new paragraphs or line spacing, because it’s a bit jumbled when it’s emailed. I will give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⛅️ for now, because I believe it can be improved, but it’s a good starting point.
A few people have complained that this is just scanning. Although at times I agree I could scan my work; the app works a bit easier because I don’t have to be super accurate where I place the page. The shape and markings on the paper allow the edges to be recognized without having to line it up and press a button while oops I wiggled.
Great concept. It does have it’s glitches: books wear out sooner than expected; the transcription is a great idea just needs some tweaking; email has stopped working; and the size and notebook options are limited.
But good things too: customer service is quick to respond and very helpful and polite when they can’t help; books allow me to not have papers laying around; I love love love the frixon pens on the notebooks; the new smart titles allow me to not have to title the scan after the fact; and transcription option is useful if improved a bit.
I do a lot of game design in notebooks or loose sheets of paper and I always end up with tons of iterations laying around taking up space. Scanning or photographing all of this and then destroying the physical copies or taking time to compile PDFs from all the photos is always a pain. Enter Rocketbook.
This notebook is amazing! I have three now and use them exclusively for all my design work and sketches. I can then use the app to take images, create PDFs, and then instantly send them to my backup (Google Drive), my email, my business partners email, and our shared work drive. It’s amazing! Then I can wipe the book clean and continue designing. No extra papers laying around, no shredding papers, nothing. So nice.
App is great for setting up destinations and reviewing what you’ve captured. I love it.
I am someone who makes a ton of lists and just writes down random things that I need to look up later in the day and this notebook is so convenient. Instead of having a lot of scraps of paper just floating around in my purse I can jot everything down in my Rocketbook notebook and scan it to the app for later. The ink does take a few seconds to dry but it’s not a big issue. I currently have the mini but will soon be purchasing the executive. I am currently waiting for the new product for the whiteboards and I’m excited to be able to scan our whiteboard ideas/ drawings to the app as well. The quality of the scans is really good and I have a couple of apps tied into the Rocketbook app where I can send my scans as well.
I love this thing!
I’m an aspiring writer and honest truly I spend hours during the week taking notes on paper and then typing them back up in my laptop in the evening. With the text transcriber going to my email and a cloud with just one scan is a lifesaver! I can’t tell you how much work I’ve lost just because I forgot to back things up on a cloud storage right as my computer dies.
If you find yourself writing throughout the day like I do I highly recommend this. It’s made my life a lot easier and I don’t have to carry multiple notebooks with me. When I fill up this book I can clean the pages and start over fresh with the previous pages already saved and backed up.
This is been an amazing product. I am a technical consultant with multiple customers at a time.
In my work, I was taking extensive notes on legal pads. I used to need a pad for each document I worked on. Even with that method, it was hard to find the information I needed and keeping track of all those notebooks was very hard. Now I can take notes, snap the picture, the document is automatically named and sent to the right folder on Google docs. I can search the document for the information I need because of the ocr functionality they use. Really great product. BTW, I have tried using an iPad for my notes a couple of years ago and went back to the old fashioned way. Rocket book works much better.
I received a Rocketbook as a gift and have loved every minute of it since receiving it. I love that there are enough pages that I don’t have to worry about erasing a page so quickly and I can keep all of my notes organized with the app. I didn’t believe that it would actually work, but it does. I just can express how much I love the app and the ease of use. The only thing I either haven’t figured out how to do, or the app doesn’t do, is that I cannot choose to send to only one email address unless it is my account email address. I used my personal email address for my account, but want to send notes to my business email and it will not allow me to take my personal email off of the email list to send. I don’t use that option on my notebook often, so it isn’t extremely important but I could see where it could be with someone else.
