Digital living had ruined my handwriting. I comforted myself that I wasn't wasting trees or paper, but I missed being able to jot things down -- or doodle! Now, I hand-write two to-do lists each day (one personal & one for home & family). I scan and preserve each both in the morning and at the end of my day (with check-offs, additions, etc.) It gives me a daily journal of both my accomplishments and my aspirations. And those unexpected things that come up. Why does this work better for me than all the lovely to-do apps I've tried? Dunno, but my handwriting is getting better. So I use my wee, pocket-sized Rocket Book every day. I haven't done much much with the larger one yet, but I'm sure I will. The app makes it very easy to send notes to different places or people. It's very cool and I've become a big ol' Rocket Book fan.
I am a writer, however, the chore of keeping up with all of my brainstorming papers and notebooks where I just wrote down some ideas is awful. I had maybe 10 different notebooks that I had written ideas, snips of stories, or just a list of names, and those were all scattered. Rocketbook gets rid of the need to get a new notebook every time I fill one up and completely eliminates my paper usage. If you’re like me, you think better when you actually put pen to paper rather than typing. I don’t mind typing, but writing my stuff down or drawing out brainstorming diagrams really gets the juices flowing. I can now keep up with everything I write down. I use Google Drive for all my stuff too and Google Docs has text recognition so if I write out an excerpt for a book, I can use Rocketbook to upload it then convert it. I love Rocketbook and have been telling everyone I know about it.
Absolutely love these notebooks. I have the 5x7 and 8x11 sizes and they are infinitely useful. You can send PDFs or jpgs, even gifs by scanning pages in sequence. With 36 pages per notebook, you can keep a fair amount of work before wiping down and reusing the pages. Additionally, the RocketBook website has printable graph, music staff, and lined writing pages in 5x7 and letter size; these obviously aren’t reusable, but are useful nonetheless. As a matter of fact, if you wanted to try the concept before buying one of the notebooks, you could print a few pages and try it out with the app first. I wish that this was around when I was in college; one small, light notebook for all of my classes that I can scan my notes from. The transcription feature also works fairly well, so your writing can be transcribed to type when you publish the page. The only drawback is that you have to use special Pilot Frixion pens, but they are readily available, relatively inexpensive, and come in many colors. (FYI, I use it with email and Google Drive and have had no issues. I can’t vouch for other compatible services: iCloud, OneNote, Slack, Dropbox, Evernote, or Box.)
I love the idea of this. I work in IT on the technical support team for an enterprise client. I oftentimes find myself using both a customer issued laptop as well as my company’s device. Unfortunately, I can’t easily share information across these devices. Because of this, I have often opted for a more analog note taking method.
Prior to Rocketbook, I filled several Leichturn 1917s with notes on a large work project. Unfortunately, my copious notes were hard to search and reference, despite my detailed table of contents and journaling techniques. I was shown this technology by a business colleague and immediately fell in love.
Now I store my notes in a variety of places. My only regret is that I can’t use it directly with either company’s enterprise OneNote/OneDrive account, but the other connectors help me merge everything together into one concise package.
I have two Rocketbooks, one for professional/work related business and one for personal, with different set of destinations assigned for each book. My child also has a rocketbook color. It would be helpful to be able to setup different profiles or labeled notebooks within the app and toggle to either user x or notebookx. I asked tech support about the best way to manage this and the recommendation was to use a different iphone, one for work and one for private (seriously??) or have fewer options for destinations because they have to be divided up between different notebooks. That also means that my child, who uses my phone to send her drawings to the cloud and grandparents (because she’s a kid and doesn’t have a phone), can accidentally send her drawings to my work destinations. Not a great setup.
I've been using the Rocketbook Everlast for about a month now and have to say it's exceeded my expectations. I take a lot of written notes in my line of work that I need to archive for reference and backup. I can sometimes use MS Onenote or Notability (2 great e-note apps by the way) but there are times where its just more comfortable and easier to take written notes, especially when there are diagrams or you know you'll want to share the notes with others later.
Rocketbook gives you the best of both worlds because you can archive your notes in a standard folder in your cloud drive or on one of your note taking apps. The only limit now is the number of compatible e-note taking apps. I'm hoping they'll being on some of the other note taking apps such as Notability soon.
One of the best purchases I have ever made. This makes uploading notes and homework online extremely easy, especially in an educational environment when everything has become streamlined and online. The notebook is so lightweight that you barely even notice it, and the easy to use app allows me to upload a days worth of notes in seconds. I only wish that there were 8.5x11 size Rocketbooks that had more than 36 pages (36 pages is more than enough for average use, I just prefer to have more so I can use it more often). Rocketbook is especially useful in college when walking between classes! I have recommended this wonderful design to all of my friends and family!
I have a thing about not wasting paper, so the Rocketbook Everlast immediately intrigued me. I now own 3 of them to use for different purposes and absolutely LOVE them! They’re lightweight to carry, allow you to backup ALL your notes to your computer, and very durable. Also, the company is great to work with & provides excellent customer service. I had an issue and it was addressed within less than 24 hours. My only frustration is that there isn’t yet a cover of some type for the Everlast that you could insert it into and that would contain space for business cards and a pen so you’d have one thing to carry into a customer meeting & yet have all you need right there with you. Hopefully they’ll develop some kind of cover like that soon!
I’m a college student and have been using Rocketbook for some time now. It is SO easy to organize the notes I take in class and have their scans automatically sent to files I set up on Microsoft OneDrive. The app runs flawlessly and the Handwriting Recognition has been incredible. It makes it so easy to search key phrases in my many pages of notes. The only slight inconvenience I have found is that there is only a “blanket” Naming Template. It would be nice to have separate Naming Templates for each filing symbol (Each symbol is for a different class) as well as a way to insert the “##Title##” from the Handwriting Recognition into a pre-existing Template. Once again, Rocketbook is an amazing tool and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
As a college student, the majority of my homework is online and any actual work that I do is not collected. This notebook (and the corresponding app) makes it easy to write out homework problems and not waste paper, it’s all stored in google drive (or whatever other cloud service you prefer to use). Plus, the update that allowed the PDFs to be bundled made it easy to keep homework and notes in one file for easy viewing and reviewing. The notebook itself is incredibly lightweight and while I do carry spare notebook paper just in case I have to turn in something that class, it saves me from having to haul around heavy notebooks all day (no lockers in college, you know, when we finally have more than 4 minutes to go to a locker). I’d say the only downside is that I do take a lot of notes and have a lot of homework so I fill up the notebook in about a week-1.5 weeks and scanning and erasing the entire notebook can be very time consuming, especially when you still have a lot of work to do, but it is still totally worth it for the amount of paper I save by having electronic notes. I really wish this notebook had been around in High School when I used even more paper, but I’m glad I have it for college.
