6 Months with Rocketbook EVERLAST (CORE): The Only Notebook You'll Ever Need?

[@mikosan187]

That's probably the most efficient review I've ever seen: short and straight to the point. Perfect.

[@JakeReevesVideo]

Wow, thanks Miko. That's awesome that you liked it so much 👍 You should check out my Everything Rocketbook Playlist for more like it ✌

[@Vrais23]

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!

[@JakeReevesVideo]

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.

[@poetsummerbreeze4663]

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.

[@JakeReevesVideo]

Thanks! I really appreciate the feedback 👍

[@chidigodwinchinewubeze4231]

I couldn't agree more!

[@RabidDingo12]

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.

[@JakeReevesVideo]

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!

[@maximumdeeplearnerarjuna9249]

@@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

[@JakeReevesVideo]

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.

Ya I hate when people try to be goofy or when they unnecessarily talk about themselves and their experience .

[@TVivianDavis]

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!

[@JakeReevesVideo]

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!

[@shirlevtourguide9064]

Hi, for this permanent writing, which pen do you use? And can you remove it later? Or you have it literally permanent for life? 😉

[@JakeReevesVideo]

@shirlevtourguide9064 it is permanent so be careful - I used the Sharpie ultra fine tip pens ✌🏻

[@steveruqus2680]

Thanks Jake. Very efficient and effective. Love the tips. I bet you saved me much trial and error. I just ordered one today.

[@Lyssa16]

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 :)

[@zx600e93]

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.

Awesome 👍 I hope you enjoy it and make it your own ✌️

[@rodhernandez4134]

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.

[@JakeReevesVideo]

Agreed, I always recommend people buy the replacement cartridges instead of pens 👍

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.

I agree with you about needing to be sure you make a template of what you would like to create in permanent marker. I didn't do this and made a little mistake, which messed up the calendar agenda I created. Now, I just saw (12.8.2021) the "Everyday Planner" Rocketbook. I hope to get it and stop having to purchase a new planner every year. Thanks.

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.

[@JakeReevesVideo]

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.

[@mikaelat3272]

I’m a lefty, and a lefty who has become used to the slight inconvenience of spiral notebooks (I’ve had to use many in my time), but one solution I found to the spiral problem is to simply write on the notebook sideways. When you scan, the app has a rotate option. It’s a few more taps than writing vertical, but to me that sure can beat the slight discomfort of a spiral pressing against your wrist if you aren’t used to it. By the way, I really like this video and your content. I’m trying to declutter and save more trees, and recently got my own Everlast. Best desicion I ever made.

[@JakeReevesVideo]

[@FreeSpokenOne]

I love your review for its thorough coverage and unwasted words, well done! My hope was to find someone who addressed a claim I ran across about having left one of these in a car and heat erasing all the notes. Do you know if that’s a problem with these or if it’s another one of those unfounded complaints?

[@JakeReevesVideo]

Thanks! I try to get to the point in my reviews, so I’m glad you like that 👍 Yes, that is a concern. The ink you have to use is Pilots FriXion erasable ink. It is thermosensitive though (disappears when heated and reappears when cooled) - so I don’t recommend leaving notes in a hot car. You can try freezing the notes to bring back the ink, but I’ve heard mixed reviews regarding how well this works.

[@robblock888]

Thanks. This was super informative and very professional. You have helped think through a lot. I was considering the fusion, but did not like a lot of the features. I did not think about using a permanent marker to create permanent pages that meet my particular needs.

[@JakeReevesVideo]

No problem Rob 👍 Good luck with the decision ✌️

[@Jumperchick11]

Do these only work with block letter printing or does it work with cursive as well?

[@JakeReevesVideo]

Both to varying degrees - neatness is the most important. And printing doesn’t need to be block letters. Don’t expect excellent transcription though.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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?

[@JakeReevesVideo]

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 ✌️

[@blakeearth]

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!

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!

[@JakeReevesVideo]

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.

[@stevenmao6766]

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)?

[@JakeReevesVideo]

@@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.

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!

[@JakeReevesVideo]

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! 👍✌️

[@Glam-pf5hc]

@@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!

[@JakeReevesVideo]

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 👍✌️

[@lindalawson5863]

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!

[@JakeReevesVideo]

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!

You're welcome Linda 👍

Good idea. But I’d hold off on powder or moisturizer.

Nice video! I already love the frixion pens, but this is the next level ;)

[@athirstykid]

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?

[@JakeReevesVideo]

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.

[@cartergauldin8024]

Very helpful, thank you Jake

You're welcome Russell, I'm glad to hear that this could help you. That's the goal of my reviews 👍

As always succinct and to the point! Lots of good info! Have one on the way for a bujo. :)

[@michaelalbaneseiii5158]

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?

[@JakeReevesVideo]

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!

[@Digital111]

The Peverell brothers! Thanks for the review, I'm considering getting one but I'm worried cause I'm left-handed and will probably smudge all my writing.

[@JakeReevesVideo]

I'm glad you enjoyed the review, I have plenty of other Rocketbook videos as well that you may like. Rocketbook just came out with a top-bound flip version of the letter and executive sized notebooks as well, which would be better for lefties. But unfortunately the smudging is still an issue depending on your writing style.

[@sethpeterson8261]

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

[@foreverdissenting3675]

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.
