XPPen Paper Tablet Note Plus Note-Taking Tablets, Smart Notepad, Digitizing Tablet for Business, Academic and Drawing, Compatible with General A5 Size Notebooks

I'll be honest, this was almost exactly what I wanted. It's a small but not tiny notebook that digitizes what I write, is portable, and because it has an actual notebook it feels like writing on paper (I don't like the feel of writing on glass tablet screens).The one thing it doesn't do that I realized I wanted after a great deal of trouble trying to find out why it didn't work at all is... If you want to hold it in one hand and write with the other, instead of laying it on a surface to write, you can't be right handed. It turns off if you put the front cover against the back, as it thinks you have closed it.So close, but not quite right for me. :-/

Didn't sync with my phone at all (Android). I had to return it. I did see some stuff online that suggested others have had the same issue. Seller was good about accepting the return. Might just be a compatibility issue.

Perhaps I’m a tech-dope because I’ve yet to see what this is useful for. I admit I thought it was a cheap version of a Remarkable Tablet. Hardly. Not only is this writing on regular paper but the translation to digital text to my phone is atrocious. Someone mentioned there’s no replacement paper but I read you can substitute any notebook sized paper and it will work? I guess being able to write notes and have them digitally transferred to your phone, PC or tablet is desirable? Can’t one just get an Apple Pen? Anyways, I was an idiot to not have read the details more carefully. This is essentially a total waste of money for me. It transfers sketches quite accurately but written notes it’s a total disaster. Interface with the App is a mess as well. Better in real time mode, but if you write something then fire up the toy, it only detects partially what’s written and poorly converts it to text. It even added emojis I didn’t use. Total flop.

I like this smart notebook. It works well, and the best is you can use regular paper to write and grow. All that you write is transferred wireless to your smartphone via Bluetooth. There is the problem. The note+2 application that supports the smart note book crash all the time. This is quite annoying. The other thing is when importing offline notes, they might overlap making it difficult to understand what was written.

I had originally purchased rocket book and was disappointed with it. I was skeptical about XP-Pen but took a leap of faith and tried it. It works like a charm!You can use your paper to draw or write and it captures it via Bluetooth instantly.

I think I like the idea more than the application. It works and does what it says. My handwriting is atrocious, but it still detects my writing with great accuracy. However I find the app cumbersome. I still use it, but not as much as I thought I would.

item itself wasn’t all that bad. did a decent job putting it on my phone real-time. tends to slur the letters if you don’t lift the pen high enough between writing them. the reason why you shouldn’t buy it lies 95% in its app. it’s garbage. it def was not tested before putting it out there. you won’t know any difference if you only make one virtual notebook. but if you do you’ll quickly find out what i’m talking about. for example. it says it will hold 50+ pages in memory in between times of connecting with the app. if you have more than one digital notebook you’ll see that when it connects back to the app it downloads all 50+ into the first notebook. no choice otherwise. but even worse once it does that you can’t move any of the pages out into their corresponding notebooks. it’s locked in. nothing you can do. the ONLY way to write into another notebook is to open it in the app first then start writing. that means that any of the ones saved offline can never be put into it. so unless you’re a little kid and one notebook is cool with you you should pass on this item.

I liked this- my 8 year old grandson liked it better so I gave it to him! Worked good
