Rocketbook Review After 1 Year

#rocketbook #notetaking
I have been using the Rocketbook for over 1 year. I want to discuss some of the experiences and why I still use it over my iPad and reMarkable for certain things.

[@morningcoach]

Do you use a Rocketbook? What is your favorite notetaking device?

[@waynehorne2734]

Thanks JB! Yes, like you, I have several Rocketbooks! I use the Mini as a sticky notes replacement and starting to use as a habit tracker. I have an Everlast executive size that I use for meeting notes and a letter size for any drawings that I do. I really enjoy using them. Even have my wife using one for her daily notes.

[@morningcoach]

Thanks Wayne, as always for the comment. Getting ready to really bring some great content. Thanks for the support.

[@BaroquePearl419]

I just got one today. I was thinking of using it for bullet journaling

[@morningcoach]

BaroquePearl419 Great idea!!!

[@Lelybee85]

im a teacher that has to return to work in august and realizing im going to have to use tech alot more in my classroom...which means I need to create new ways to teach without communal touching of paper pencils markers highlighters and erasers in this post covid world...this video was extremely helpful

[@morningcoach]

Wow I never thought of that thank you so much for the comment and it’s true have to do more ideas with this

[@beepboop6244]

been considering getting a rocketbook and came across this review of it. loved the review and your energy! keep up the good work and pumping out those positive vibes man! :)

[@morningcoach]

Thanks so much means a lot!!!! Keeps me motivated to do more :)

[@Daytbc7]

Got a RB for Xmas and I've been loving it. I take a lot of notes while on phone calls and the RB is saving so many trees.

[@holyeffnut]

I just found the brand on Amazon. Thanks for the great review! I found it incredibly helpful. 👍

[@morningcoach]

Thanks Russ - so glad it help you rock!!! Love my Rocketbooks!

[@kathrynnightwine6036]

Thank You this is a great review and giving me great ideas for my own golf game! I wasn't even thinking about how I could use it with my game. Now I am excited for next summers practice!

[@thecreativelady1908]

Hey JB. Thanks for this video. I recently purchased a Rocketbook. Your video was helpful. Love the "template tip". Great idea. Thanks again.

[@morningcoach]

That is SOOOO awesome thank you!

[@tybuttars5045]

I received one of these as a stocking stuffer, after watching your video I don't think I'll send it back with the sweaters and ties. Thanks, coach. Happy 2021 to you and yours.

[@morningcoach]

Really great Ty - thanks and Happy Holidays. The Rocketbook can be used in a variety of ways for sure.

[@andertxotxo]

Great review for somebody that is looking for digital notebooks. Keep it up.

[@robynnelson4719]

Really appreciate your review. I just purchased a Rocketbook for work, so it was great to hear your feedback.

[@712Brandy]

I just learned about Rocketbook and I am trying to decide which format. Thank you for the clarifying review.

[@morningcoach]

Brandy thank you I am glad that it helped you :)

[@lsrxc]

I have been on the Rocketbook platform for 2 years. The two issues I have are: - Erasing small errors (need to stop and wet wipe / dry. Or line out (messy) - Slickness of the writing surface isn't natural for me. Entries look sloppy. I personally prefer some resistance paper provides. I've been going back to the paper / pencil note taking more frequently. It just works better for me. But the RB concept is a good idea if one needs to regularly archive notes online.

[@nat4465]

There’s a multi subject notebook now, the pages have a better texture now. I don’t have it yet but I have the cloud card which I hear are the same. they do have a more paper like/cushioned feel. The multi subject had more pages and comes with dividers.

[@iPlayiOS]

Permanent marker trick is clever af!

[@losangeles_bum]

Hi! I’ve been really enjoying your videos and your energy. I will love to see you make a “what’s in my tech backpack video” if you haven’t done so. You seem like you’re always out and about doing something so when you go out what’s your must have tech? Thanks!!

[@morningcoach]

OH yes thats a great one love to that - so good. Thank you so much for the idea. It is hard to create this much content. Thanks so much.

[@MaxiBela]

I just popped into your channel. Great REAL LIFE review, thanks for it. I like your style so I subscribed. Greetings from Hungary, Europe. ;-)

[@morningcoach]

PLN you rock THANK you more on the RocketBook coming :)

[@lukasdurand1188]

Thank you for your very helpful review, it was detailed and all necessary info are here. I just discovered your channel thanks to it, greetings from France! ✌️(I will probably buy one little and medium size rocketbook now)

[@morningcoach]

Awesome, thank you!

[@lettels]

Thank you for this review! I can't wait to get my hands on a Rocektbook!

[@morningcoach]

Thank you for the kind comment :)

[@maryelberson1510]

I love my Rocketbooks and agree with you regarding the minimal investment. They do last a long time! Thanks for the Ninja tip re the templates! I will definitely us that tip.

[@morningcoach]

Thanks Mary

[@TGIF82]

This is good review. What I am not able understand is what you can actually do with the notes once they are on your app except saving them on Google Drive or other drives. I do a lot of notetaking at my work so this would be a timesaver but can u turn them into text, edit them? What format do they come in? I would think yes, otherwise it will be just a picture of notes, right? I am also checking Rowrite, Remarkable looks awesome but is pricey.

[@tmagik6471]

Another informative video. Your Remarkable 2 update was awesome as I've recently order it... i'm in batch 7. So, as you suggested, I bought several Rocketbooks, and even their Sketch Bundle, along with various accessories. Well, after using for past day or so, I'm counting the months to when I'll receive the R2 and just decided to do it... yes, I bought the 1st gen Remarkable. It'll be delivered around the first week of July from Amazon. I'm a writing enthusiast... even use fountain pens and paper for my journals. But just wanted you to know your videos are inspiring as I value the art of brain-to-pen-to-paper combined with technology; perfect marriage. I'm even using Rocketbook to make templates that I convert to PDF's and import into my digital planner (XODO)... that way I can erase the template in Rocketbook, but use the templates digitally. Now, I can't wait to start using R1, then R2, but like you, I need that color!

[@morningcoach]

Thank you so much for the awesome comment, really made my day. Trying hard to help and put some good videos out. Keep me posted on your organizational journey please. Thanks!!!

[@Beefyhorchata]

Great review ! Interesting, to the point genuine review , thank you ! 😃

[@7775Kevin]

Thanks for the review. Appreciate your hard work.

[@kariann5995]

I have a variety of Rocketbook, my latest being the Panda planner. I absolutely LOVE it!

[@morningcoach]

They rock and I really appreciate your comment :) :)

[@Nadz2084]

Just wanted to know how long before you have to wipe the pen off or is there no time limit. I'm trying to cut down on using paper nad trying to get my partner to do the same as he is an avid note taker. Are there any downsides to this products?? Thanks for reviewing this just saw a video of this product on ticktok

[@LaEmporoar]

You are not supposed to leave the frixion pen ink on the pages for more than 30 days or it can permanently stain the pages. Other than that the only downside is that the ink will dissappear in Temps of over 60°c. Although it will reappear if you throw the notebook in the freezer for a bit to cool off.

[@eliasramirez2292]

What cellphone do you have? Do you need a good camera to take the picture?

[@dianebrown8581]

Other than saving some paper, what is the advantage of these notebooks over just taking notes on regular paper, taking a picture, and saving to dropbox or google docs?

[@eurbina22]

Only thing I can imagine is that it “forces” you to save into your “cloud service”. Normal pen and paper doesn’t really force you to do it.

[@nat4465]

The advantage for me is the ability to organize my notes on OneNote and be able to easily retrieve them without having to accumulate physical notebooks.

[@morningcoach]

Wow thank you 45,900 views pretty crazy!

[@ImMizerD]

First time coming across one of your videos, & I'm about to dig through your content but thought I'd leave you the feedback about ad placement. I fully support, and respect, the risk taken to drop it in at the end. Thumbs up for that alone. I've always been happier letting it play off at the end, because generally speaking, I'm doing something by that time anyway. It's the being placed on hold immediately at the start of a call, that sees me skip more videos that I come across, than anything. After all, It's too easy to judge a book by its cover, and decide that we don't want to wait, before hearing what someone has to say. I'm going to let that add play through again on a fresh view.

[@morningcoach]

Thanks so much I am JUST learning all of this stuff and REALLY appreciate the comment!!! Thanks!!!! I will figure that out :)

[@danielab332]

thank you so much for all the information. could you show us some examples of how the scaned picutres look like after a picture? Do you go back to your notes or just like it because it's reusable? If I need to go back to my notes, what additional tool do you recommend to group the notes. For example, putting the pictures in OneNote or something else? I have a laptop and a cellphone. I don't want to spend the whole money to buy an ipad, and I really like to take notes for Maths, languages, and my daily todo- brain dumps.

[@morningcoach]

Yes on that

[@rainger66]

Are you able to edit the digital copy at a later time? If I'm tracking 3 different unrelated events through the day, snap and save the page, can I cut/copy/splice those 3 separate subjects to individual documents or folders after they are uploaded? Only JUST heard of these, and your review popped up a week later! Thanks for the time spent on a great informative review! 👍🏼

[@carriecosby9964]

I am a school secretary and have several categories of tasks to take care of. Typically this would be on a dry erase board in my office but we are such a small school that I have 3 stations I am at for more than 1 hour each day. I would like to esentially use it as a dry erase board for tasks in my 5 to 6 categories and then erase them as I get those done. I use google chrome as well so I could save my pages to a documents - Just trying to see if it would make sense because I make notes but then can't erase and end up starting a new page in my note book. It does work it is a system of notebook dividers and I just maintain tasks in each section. This sounds like I could designate a page but keep updating it.... Can you erase one line like on a white board?

[@williamkterrell]

Great explantion, it appears the Rocketbooks work pretty well.

[@rnr52]

Thanks for the review. Woot has the fusion on sale and might just buy it.

[@carlarevoy]

I just got rocketbook fusion, and mini! Software is a little tricky but probably just me. Thanks for the video!

[@morningcoach]

Thanks so much for watching that’s awesome

[@michaelkeller7789]

Thanks. Sounds useful as I am on the move, wirting notes, needing to share them. Does it work with Microsoft Office suites and can they share through One Drive?

[@A_Valencia]

Can you show your note book template and how you use it for golfing? Just a video for golfing and how it helps you with tracking. Thank you!

[@crown_resident]

awesome review, thanks! just picked one up on amazon

[@morningcoach]

Thank you

[@shaunmiller3291]

You can write a note, scan, and send to cloud with your regular iphone. What is the benefit of this product?

[@morningcoach]

Hey Shaun - the ability to one page over and over is super nice, and you can make a template and use it over and over. See the video that I put up today :) Thanks so much

[@LaEmporoar]

One of the largest reasons I use this is for my college class notes. Its the same tactile experience of writing in a paper notebook and all my notes are stored digitally and automatically sorted into chapters and the like. I prefer this infinitely over typing out basic notes in my phone or having a dozen notebooks that I have to sort through to find anything I wrote previously. It might not be as beneficial if you don't take long, extensive notes regularly; but if you do, It is the perfect tool for the job. Not to mention it has so many benefits while only being a one time purchase of around $25.

[@AssasinZorro]

Thank you, your perspective was very helpful. I've just heard of Rocketbook and your video was the one I found. I wasn't familiar with the concept of Rocketbook, so I would like to ask: can I use a capillary pen with it?

[@morningcoach]

AHHHHH I am not sure on the pen, I have only used the Frixon brand so far - thanks for asking

[@LaEmporoar]

It recommends only using frixion pens and markers as other brands don't use the washable ink formula Pilot does. Any other types of ink will not come off the pages. If you want to use calligraphy pens with the digitization features of a rocketbook, the company sells a cheaper notebook that is disposable, meaning it's made of normal paper instead of a synthetic polymer.

[@AssasinZorro]

I have received my RocketBook A5. The first thing that struck me was the fact that it feels like a whiteboard, not like paper. I might get used to it in time, but currently it is hard to ignore. Also, A5 feels smaller because of the borders. I did not expect any of that after watching your first impressions. Did you have those two issues at first?

[@kimbellern]

How would you say the Rocketbook and fusion pens are for ink drying time and smudging?

[@lesdwarf]

How long does it take for the ink to dry after writing, does it smudge? Does the pen last as long as regular pens?

[@CarlZaluskiPerdapt]

I got a Rocketbook as a gift and I don't know if I would use it. I am not convinced it's needed. Aside from saving paper becuase you re-use the same notebook, I don't see a reason for it. Why couldn't you have any type of scanning app that scans and saves your notes for you? In other words, notes that you write on regular paper are then scanned and can be saved to Google drive or the cloud or wherever. So again, is the only rationale for having a Rocketbook to save trees? I'm not being critical, just trying to understand and make sense of it all.

[@Jeff-gt1ll]

Carl, I thought the same thing and just got a rocket book for my wife and am thinking of getting one for my work. I am in IT (old school still like to draw and write on paper )so when I am doing architecture design or code design I will make mistakes and instead of crossing things out I usually will throw paper away. Kind of like what you see on TV when a writer doesn't like the first sentence of a chapter. I am looking at the rocket book so that I don't have to scribble things out etc. I can just erase and start over on that one part. Saving trees should not be a concern to anyone, it is the most sustainable and renewable product we have on this planet. We have been planting and replanting trees for MANY years. I was in forestry/natural resources in college and really enjoyed it and seeing what the US forest service does.

[@djjimhorn]

I have every Rocketbook that came out even the first one that went in the microwave to erase...the Wave. Do you use only the frixion pens? Tried other brand pens in the Rocketbook?

[@morningcoach]

HAHAH I know Jim right I never had one of the microwave ones LOL..... no I have not tried other pens, but you just sparked an idea for a new video - you rock thanks!!!

[@mrmichael972]

Thanks. Good video and I liked you when you were the first lead singer of Van Halen. ;)

[@morningcoach]

HAHAH thank you!!!

[@JosephDickson]

I've been using Rocketbooks for about a year and now own three. So perhaps wearing them out won't be a problem if they keep offering new and improved products every 6-12 months.

[@winterrain1947]

This looks like a really good system for Math notes.

[@morningcoach]

Thanks so much for the comment - they work great for Math :)

[@raveensel]

Hi. I have been following your informative channel quite some time and you doing a very good job. I am considering to buy my first e-ink reader+note taking device when I heard of Rocketbook. Can you give your thoughts about Rocketbook, Boox Note 3 / Max and Papry. Target segment / person. Thank you.

[@morningcoach]

I will do a video on that for you thank you

[@raveensel]

@@morningcoach Thank you

[@deannavanhorn4395]

Where did you get the template for the golf games? My son-in-law is a jr golf pro working his way towards pro and that looks like a great gift for him?

[@morningcoach]

I got on Amazon let me try and find the link - thanks for asking

[@omarhanouni4628]

Hi Steve. Thank you for this video. Could you please send us links for buying the pen clips? Many Thanks

[@Belgarathe]

I appreciate you put these videos together. Biggest weakness of this and remarkable for students when teachers are using PowerPoint slides. With the iPad it can quickly download the slides and is very easy to go back and forth between slides. Added benefit you can actually record the lecture too if you’re using note taking apps like notability. How do you handle note taking when power point slides are used?

[@morningcoach]

That is a GREAT question. If you could get the slides in advance you could put them in as a pdf and then just work on them with the RM. I personally love notability for this reason. This is where the iPad really does shine. But you could get by if you get the PDF earlier then mark them up.

[@daughterofthemosthigh670]

thank you so much for this review! so helpful :-)

[@morningcoach]

Thank you

[@rebekahashcraft1237]

Once uploaded to google docs, can you use the search function to narrow down your notes? Thanks for the review!

[@morningcoach]

That is a great question, let me test it, thanks for giving me an idea on a video :)

[@davidedavide1007]

Hello from italy:) your channel is very interesting. By the way do you think that I can easily use the pdf created with this notebook on the Kindle ? I would use the notebook to write down my studying notes but then I want to read them on a ebook display so that my hurts won't be hurted by pc/iPad screen :)

[@morningcoach]

Davide - hello and thanks for watching!!! I don't see why you wouldn't be able too. But the RM is a great reader, it may be able to work for you. Keep me posted, thanks for the comments.

[@davidedavide1007]

Thank you for your reply. Well I asked because the Kindle screen is quite small (6 inches) and everytime I try to use a pdf on it there are many issues regarding the zoom :)

[@ronf28]

thanks for the video. Does it smudge?

[@morningcoach]

If you get it wet Ron but it works well in a dry environment

[@Spokenfan]

Another great video 👏. I’m sure you will be a Wiz at the guitar 🎸. Thank you for sharing 👍👍 Stay safe healthy and happy 👍

[@morningcoach]

Thank you very much I had my first acoustic guitar coming today I’m excited

[@Spokenfan]

MorningCoach That’s Fantastic 😃, you will do great 👍.

[@robboucher7878]

Good review sir! The thin ink doesn't make for a pleasant writing experience for me - but I'll probably find a use for it -

[@morningcoach]

Thank you

[@dkerschh]

I have two OneNotes accounts. One through employer and a personal one. Is it possible to be able to use this and be able to send it the OneNote account I need to?

[@jfellrath]

I didn't even know Frixion made highlighters... that's pretty awesome. Does the highlighter smear the text you're going over? Do you have to let it dry a lot?

[@morningcoach]

It actually works pretty good Jamie!! - Thanks brother for the comment - doesn't smear. You have to give it a shot :)

[@Tachi87]

Hi I was wondering and having trouble finding this answer if this were to get wet or spilled on aside from using the wipe to clean the page what would happen with the pages and notes on those pages?

[@morningcoach]

Bad news - spill anything on it the ink runs - so you really have to be careful and keep it dry. Anything wet, soda, etc... the ink is going to run.

[@Tachi87]

Thanks soo much for the info!!!

[@sydneybird116]

They also sell plain paper spiral notebooks where you can use any pen, called Rocketbook One. Heat can erase the frixion ink, so here in Phoenix being left in a car might make the writing disappear. I'm thinking of going that route when traveling.

[@pedrozamari]

I just bought 2 today 😁 the tiny one for my purse and the large letter size one 😁

[@letyguerra910]

when you upload the photo to the cloud you can see the lines or dots of the notebook?

[@UsrNmTkn]

No.

[@yoyo123323]

I have one of these. I gave it a really good chance. I still don't get it. I can save notes in various places electronically faster just jotting them on my phone or tablet as is. And I don't understand the need for a special notebook I take a picture of with an app when I can take a regular picture of a regular notebook without an app and still save it in various places even faster. I've tried RocketBook. Just doesn't make sense. Lots of hoops to jump through that don't really make note-taking or record keeping easier. Just weird this is so popular.

[@siameseire]

Thank you. It was Very helpful to see the different sizes and to hear how they are holding up. I want to Thank you with my whole being for not putting music on the video. Overlaying music on instruction videos is pervasive and is Awful. Thanks for having sense and letting us hear your voice. All the best to you and happy golfing.

Recommendations on integrating Rocketbook with a Boox Note 3? I

[@morningcoach]

OHHHHHH I have heard about doing with the rM2 and creating template that synchs - never with Note 3 interesting!!! I am on it.

[@loladobler3237]

great vid def thinking abt getting one now will check out ure other vids. u got a new sub thank you!

[@seanperdue232]

Good review. Thanks.

I am having trouble with uploading my notes

[@shawnmulberry774]

thanks for the review. It was good information and I think I am going to buy one now. You should have affiliate links - lol

[@FunnyAsian00]

I am using it.... I really want remarkable 2 but damn expensive! I feel lazy for erasing and taking pics but..... It's best option for me now

[@morningcoach]

John it works bro - it really does - the Remarkable 2 is nice, but the rocketbook has its benefits too, portable, colors, no battery. It gets the job done :)

[@tiffanyrichmond7391]

I just started collage, so i got the middle sized one ,plus the pens and highlighters. This is great for me, as i can use my pens and things if needed with my books, but also can take my notes with out 10 notebooks. Its also GREAT for others like me. As i have multiple issues where texture is a huge thing for me. I HATE the feel of paper... so this DEFINITELY works well for me. ❤
