Rocketbook Pro Smart Reusable Notebook, Letter 8.5x11, Black

It can be nerve-wracking when a company announces a sequel to one of its most impressive products. After all, for every rousing success like “The Godfather Part 2”, there are dozens of failures that make you question their very existence (looking at you “Zoolander 2”). Luckily, the Rocketbook Pro 2.0 not only avoids those pitfalls, but manages to become the rare “sequel” that improves upon its predecessor in every way. I was originally drawn to Rocketbook because of the sustainability of their products. From the very concept of a reusable notebook to the vegan leather hardcover, the 2.0 is a modern and environmentally-friendly solution to traditional paper notebooks. Plus, it doesn’t sacrifice durability or reliability in order to be greener. Every Rocketbook product that I own has held up very well, and although my 2.0 is relatively new, it’s clear that it was made with the same quality that I’ve come to expect. It’s practically indestructible, and it looks exceptionally sleek (especially in the new green color). The 2.0 also shines due to its adaptability. Swapping out page packs depending on what I need in a given day is a great added later of utility. And of course, the 2.0 wouldn’t be “The Notebook Evolved” without its smart features. My favorite 2.0 upgrade is the inclusion of the “Near-Field Communication” hotspot. Now, to start scanning and saving my files to the cloud via the Rocketbook app, all I have to do is hold my phone up to the NFC logo on the 2.0. I feel like I time-traveled to the future. The 2.0 is everything I hoped it would be and then some. It’s the perfect ultramodern solution for professionals, and I’m trying to resist giving one to everyone I know for the holidays.

I purchased my Rocketbook initially as a gift for a friend. I then decided to buy one for myself; that was a great decision on my part. It’s a great opportunity, especially for writers, or anyone who takes lots of notes, to capture them in a place that can be saved either to email or synced to the cloud or wherever you choose to have it sent. I love it, and I highly recommend it. It’s important that you (1) get extra pens. You need to use only a FriXion Pen so you can easily erase the pages. One pen comes with it, but the ink will eventually dry out. You can buy a Rocketbook accessory kit, which includes additional pens; and (2) allow sufficient time for the pen ink to bond to the page after you write your notes. The instructions say allow about 15 seconds. But I find it takes about 45 seconds to one minute. I’m happy with my Rocketbook, and anyone else who gets it will be happy as well. My friend told me he likes it too. It’s money well spent, and it is much better than some of the more expensive Smart notebooks. This one does the job beautifully.

Great purchase. Durable, easy to use, compatible for all note taking needs. Love it!!

I came back to editing my previous review. The seller has been great. It is not their faulty that Rocketbook is taking their time revamping the product’s accessory page refills and I don’t want my frustration with Rocketbook to reflect on the seller’s rating. Word to the wise, when I purchased this it was with the understanding that accessory page packs were available, but, according to all the Reddit posts, they have not been produced in over a year. They are not available on their website or on any of the retailers' websites. When I asked Rocketbook, they gave a vague response, stating "we are redesigning," which likely means they will not be compatible with what I have already purchased. If not, that would be the end of my Rocketbook journey. The product itself works well. I like that I can simply fill in a little box on the sheet and the notes will automatically sync with my One Notes in the appropriate folder. It took me a second to figure out that you have to hold your erasable pen straight up and down for the ink to flow to the page right so you don’t have notes that are light or spotty. Overall the product is a 4Stars because of Rocketbook abandoning the Executive platform.

Works great for my needs as I do lots of note taking throughout the day and usually do not need to keep it long term as it’s more of a to do list. Not having stacks and stacks of paper around is a great value. I like the paper attachment method they use to attach the pages to the exterior case. Ingenious idea as I have seen the spiral style in the past. I prefer this style way better. The only gripe is having to use special pens but love how they write so that’s a good trade off I’d say. The had shell keeps things sturdy so no pages get folded on you. It’s not too thick so it’s easy to carry around with other items if needed too.( books etc)

I was under the impression that you could use an interchangeable number of pages in this. To clarify, you can only use one "Page Pack" at a time. Overall, I like the concept of Rocketbook. I have used MS Lens & One Note for the same thing before in the past. I want to use it as a planner and physically writing something down helps me make it concrete and helps me to remember. Being able to make it digital and refer to it, set reminders to review, etc help bring that into my busy 21st century life. Overall, the quality is great, and it feels better than writing on an iPad. Physically, it's a solid product. So, I like it in concept, and I like the quality and price, however the execution leaves quite a bit to be desired. I bought the Monthly/Weekly Planner & Daily Planner Page packs. Neither on their website or on Amazon do they do a great job of highlighting what the pages actually look like in either planner. - The monthly planner is essentially a Monthly overview page & a calendar. - The Daily Planner doesn't start until 9am & ends at 7pm with Hourly time slots, with only small blocks for "morning" and "evening". The main page only has a place for 8 tasks and another small "Focus" and "Reminders" blocks. I'm familiar with a couple of different planner styles. I have a preference for the Franklin-Covey system and was hoping that I may be able to mix and match sheets from either of these & develop something akin to that. Not being able to mix and match, and how poor the individual planner page packs are for what I need just leave a lot to be desired. Overall 3 out of 5 because it is a good concept & a good quality product, but the planners themselves just don't work at all for what I need (or I imagine what most people need). I'm going to use it for a while and if I like it, i'll come back and edit or leave a new review. For now, if you have experience using a planner, have a busy life and need a place to keep up with that - I would advise staying away from the Pro Planner Page Packs.

Best version of the rocket book I've used. The hard case makes it easy to write on the go without having a hard surface. The different page packs make it versitle and modular, making it nice for different projects It's the perfect size for office meetings

There is so much that I like about this item. I love how sturdy the cover is, I love that I can write my class notes, take a picture, then erase the page and start again. When writing, you can select the file that you want that page to go to. Everything ends up on my computer. No mess, and no lost pagers. Such a great idea. The only reason I have to give a negative review is the lack of sturdiness and durability. Although the pages are of a bit heavier weight than a sheet of paper, the rings that hold the paper are rather long slender. The piece of the page that is in the metal ring is only about 5/8" long and about 3/5" wide. It is possible that the ring is too small to allow the pages to be turned easily. It is quite a tight fit, and just turning the page caused one side of the strips of paper just outside the ring tears. I used it for a couple of weeks in class, but more of the pages would tear. I then ordered a replacement. I tried to reinforce the page, but the small ring didn't allow for much reinforcement. The pages have a slick finish finish, so glue didn't adhere the items I used. I liked the product well enough to try to make it work for me. But even though I added very thin pieces of packaging tape and extended it past the fragile part of the paper, I still have pages that tore. I hope that the company is aware of the fragility of the paper design. I don't know what it would cost to reinforce that side of the page before cutting holes and sealing the pages in the narrow rings. With the narrow metal tubes and how tightly the pages already fit, it may require that they go a little wider on the ring and assure that the pages are encased loosely enough that the pages turn easily.

Je pensais que le papier ferait plus "papier" en terme de sensation d'écriture, avec ça ce serait parfait... mais rien de bien méchant, c'est la même chose sur d'autres carnet de ce type. La couverture est vraiment agréable et donne confiance. Pas encore testé l'appli.

Esta versión permite acomodar la posición del cuaderno para escribir mejor y las hojas se pueden intercambiar por otro estilo (comprando mas hojas por separado).

die wohl beste Variante für alle, die sich mit Stylus und Tablet oder E-Ink Display und der damit verbundenen Haptik nicht anfreunden können und natürliche Notizen, Besprechungsmitschriften oder ähnliches in gewohnter Weise anfertigen, aber nicht auf deren Digitalisierung verzichten wollen

Coole Idee - gut zu verschenken. Hält was es verspricht und ziemlich einfach zu bedienen!

Very good; I only wish I could write in the app as I do on the pages, but I love it too.
