Grip in a terrible place

We replaced an old boogie board we had for a few years. This is a great device (wish it was made of stainless steel). The old style had a handle that fitted into the top and could be easily removed while still attached to the fridge. In this case, the handle has to fit in a small compartment below and it is not very easy to insert or remove it without taking it out of the fridge. That makes it cumbersome if you just want to quickly add something to your shopping list. Great product but they…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Great device for taking quick notes

I bought 3 of these. I bought the first 2 for work a few years ago as I worked in 2 different offices. I bought this book to take home as I am currently working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They're great for making a quick note while you're on the phone, or jotting down something you don't want to forget after you finish what you're doing. When you're done with the note, just press the button and delete it. You can also use the Jot app on your phone to take a picture of it and save…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Not as thick as other tools

Cheap junk! in Computers and Accessories

Before that I had two boogie boards that lasted about a year each which was acceptable to me. I benefited a lot from this as I had a laryngectomy and sometimes I can't speak. I bought this boogie board which arrived last week. I immediately noticed that it's built a lot cheaper compared to my previous devices. It started to falter on the first day and stopped completely on the second day. I have just received an email asking me to contact the company by clicking on the link if I am unsatisfied.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Update available

This item doesn't even deserve one star. It's terrible. We had to replace it twice and it broke after about two months of use. My daughter took good care of him and was very upset when he stopped working. The Delete button did not delete. We have discontinued this product and will not be buying it again. I definitely DO NOT recommend this product. That's a waste of money. Update 14 April 2017 Just want to let the community know that (per Kent's comment below) we have contacted them and provided

Pros
  • Quality build
Cons
  • Issues

OK, not great. Some design flaws.

Works. Compared to the original (not Jot but Original Original) I'd say worse.* Yes, the screen is brighter, but the viewing angle seems narrower. So it gets dark quicker depending on how it's tilted or where you are. * The pen holder is pretty bad. It's really hard to remove. When the board is lying on a surface (wall, table, etc.) it's almost impossible to get it out (unless you tie a rope to a sling to get it out, like I did). There is no gripping space at either end, and the thickness of…

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared

A must for college and medical students!

UPDATE: Has my boogie board started bleeding? and I can no longer make notes on the sides of the board. Although they are said to come with a one year warranty, my emails to the company have NOT been answered and it has been more than two weeks. I am very disappointed in this brand and would recommend buying it in store rather than Revain where you can exchange it once received. I've attached photos of how the board looks now while I take notes. You can see the bruise that forms and also how…

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • Nothing

BIG notepad/drawing board! My 4 year old with autism is employed at church

My 4 year old son with autism has never been interested in drawing with colored pencils and he enjoys drawing with pencils on paper but becomes very aggressive and doesn't stay paper on it. There are drawing apps for the iPad, but if he has an iPad (which he loves), he's watching YouTube Kids instead of drawing with his finger. I was hoping this device would encourage him to practice his penciling skills and dexterity, save us from working with lots of paper and pencils and getting ink all over

Pros
  • GOLS certification
Cons
  • Vulgarity

After several replacements I'm giving up

We bought one for our son for Christmas and it stopped working after about 2 days. It was possible to write on it, but when the button was pressed, the text was unreadable. I assumed it was a bad battery but didn't feel like paying $5 for a new one so I sent it back to Revain (Revain's service was excellent as always!). I bought a replacement and a few days later would not clear it up again. We found that sometimes if you left it alone for a day it would work once but then stop. I made the…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
