HOMESTEC Reusable Smart Notebook - A4, Black, 6 Page Styles, Endlessly Reusable Note Pad, 2 Pen, Self-Stick Notes and Wipe Included (Squared Grid Pages)

What a fab product. Smooth finish - so lovely to write on. Eco friendly so can be used over and over again. I use it for taking dictation of confidential information so it is perfect for discreet removal of private stuff. My favourite part is when it comes to cleaning your work - either use a hairdryer and be amazed as the words disappear in front of your eyes, my personal choice as it makes you feel a bit 'magical' ha ha! or simply use the cloth provided, dampen a little and the words just wipe away. The cover is not so sturdy but I just use a flip folder behind it so is not an issue. The pens provided don't last for long but I also purchased the recommended pilot erasable pens which are comfortable to write with and which I am still currently using. Overall would highly recommend and think all businesses, schools and the like could cut costs by utilising this idea and as a double bonus would help in saving our planet too.

I bought 1 for myself and 1 for my daughter who is at Uni. I’ve found it really good! It’s slimline so slips inside my laptop bag easily. The paper is very easy to write on. The pens are fab - the ink does rub out. I tried using a hairdryer to clear some pages yesterday and was amazed at how quickly it worked. No sign of my previous notes at all. One word of warning on that would be that the hairdryer will erase both sides of the page from one side, so make sure you don’t need the other page before using it. I haven’t really tried the app to scan pages yet but my daughter tells me it’s good. She’s been able to give pages a title and index them on her Mac which she loves. I need to get some more pens but the first one is still going after a week so I guess they won’t be needed that often

I have been using the product now for a few weeks and I am really impressed by it. I generally use paper sheets for taking notes, making diagrams and working out examples. Now, I have completely stopped using papers for these purposes and use only the Smart Notebook. It works really well to my needs. There are 20 sheets giving you 40 sides and that is generally sufficient for few days to a week's work. Once you have used up all the pages, you can use the app to save the needed pages in a variety of formats and wipe the pages clear using the micro fibre cloth and some water. There is no need to worry about running out of papers any more and you are doing your bit for the environment. The sheets are put together using a spiral bind and there is no marked border on that side of the paper unlike some other popular brands on market. So the spiral will appear on the scanned pages taken using the app. I don't have to regularly scan the pages, so I am okay with this. There are two erasable pens supplied with the Notebook. However, I have found to it difficult to wipe the pages written with them compared to the Pilot Frixion. I would recomment the Frixion for regular use. Don't use the erasaer on the pens as they would damage the sheets. Use a wet microfibre cloth. If you still find some etchings, use a hair dryer and all these etchings are cleared. Overall, this is a fantastic product and has very good value for money. And it also come in square ruled which is my favourite.

The pad works very well and cleans easily. I wanted to use the app to store notes etc. However the app is so rediculously expensive that I should have paid much more for a rival pad and then taken advantage of a free to use app. If you don't want to use an app this is a good pad. If you want to use an app think long and hard about alternative options and do some research.

I have a job where I make notes on anything at hand, sticky notes, pads, printouts literally anything at hand. At any one time I have a couple of pads on the go as well. I know that I am disorganised but my memory is also poor. So I thought, one pad to rule them all, might actually work and rather than using up many pads this might also be a great way to save paper, and eventaully money. First off the pad has a number of different planner type pages at the front, calendar pagem week planner, lists etc then normal ruled paper and some sheets of dotted grid paper, you also get a couple of pens, some sticky tags and a cloth. Of course the first thing you do is have a scribble and wipe it off. I was amazed at just how effortlessly the ink lifted with a very slightly damp cloth, and how pristine the paper appeared. The cloth only had to be slightly damp, not dripping or expelling water if you squeeze it and it works like a charm. Secondly the actual writing experience is pleasant, its got a nice pen feel to it, I have had better with some expensive notebooks but this is a proper pen on paper feel. I think this is a properly good product. So impressed that I ordered a second for my wife, she is very prolific at taking notes for her job but far more organised than I am, but she is also impressed and very happy that it's spiral bound so that it's easier for her to use as a left hander. Nice product.

I absolutely love this. Not my first purchase. Great not to waste paper. I would recommend just wiping away the erasable pens. U can use a heat source like a hairdryer but it leaves a slight yellow hue on the pages. If you wipe it away its all gone. Will need to use a slight damp eraser. I found microfiber clothes great. I dont like the pen that comes with it. I bought pilot frixon erasable pens. They are great.

I'm about to start my teacher training as a secondary maths teacher, so wanted something similar to a whiteboard but slightly longer lasting to go through maths solutions with students, without wasting loads of paper. This is the perfect inbetween. I would've preferred more of a hardback book but I'll be using it on tables so its not too much of an issue for me. The pens provided work well, and the square paper is obviously helpful, overall very happy and will be buying again if I need to :)

The book itself is fine and does exactly what it should. My issue is with the app which does not work. It is a shame as this could be an excellent product for the price.

Ce livre est super. l'application connectée n'est pas TOP, mais on trouve facilement de quoi faire dans les applis. les bics par contre sont nul, ne fonctionne pas très bien.

Erg fijn! Verwijderbaar is het zeker maar een afdruk blijft af en toe wel achter. Genoeg pagina's en fijn dat er zowel lijntjes als dots zijn!

📦CONFEZIONE - Il quaderno si presenta ben fatto con delle dimensioni (A4) di 29 cm circa x 22 cm circa. Arriva corredato di due penne inchiostro nero, un piccolo panno per poter cancellare e delle etichette colorate. 🔴ASPETTO - Ci sono varie pagine all'inizio su cui appuntare gli impegni dell'anno, i buoni propositi, i libri da leggere le cose da fare e gli impegni mensili e settimanali. Troviamo all'interno 20 pagine quadrettate su cui scrivere entrambi i lati quindi abbiamo a disposizione parecchio spazio da sfruttare per poter appuntare tutte le nostre cose. Le pagine hanno una texture perfetta sulla quale scrivere è davvero un piacere la penna crea un buon grip col foglio e quindi sembra davvero di scrivere su un foglio di carta ed avendo acquistato anche il famoso rocketbook, vi posso confermare che come prodotti sono molto simili, anche nei materiali. 🟢UTILIZZO - Troviamo parecchie App di scansione per poter salvare i nostri appunti, anche la semplice app fotocamera di ogni smartphone, io personalmente utilizzo GENIUS SCAN. Una volta che decidiamo di voler cancellare i nostri appunti il tutto è molto semplice e possiamo farlo in due modi: o pulire il tutto con un pannetto bagnato o riscaldare la pagina con un phon per capelli e tutti i nostri appunti magicamente spariranno. Concludo consigliando assolutamente questo acquisto sia per una questione di praticità d'uso e sia per una questione ambientale così si evita un grande spreco di carta e di risorse.

J'avais des collègues qui m'avaient conseillé le Rocketbook mais je trouvais le papier trop épais, le cahier trop petit, bref, je n'étais pas enthousiaste. Après la lecture des commentaires, je me suis laissé tenté par le Homestec et je m'en félicite. J'apprécie le format A4, le nombre de page, la finesse du papier (on dirait quasiment du papier "normal"). J'ai l'habitude de ne pas appuyer fort quand j'écris donc ça convient parfaitement ici. Le crayon fourni écrit bien, sèche vite (comme un stylo normal) et on l'efface très facilement avec un chiffon microfibre humidifié. Par rapport à son concurrent direct, je trouve le rapport qualité/prix bien meilleur. Je suis très satisfait de mon achat et je le recommande à toute personne qui aime prendre des notes "à l'ancienne" tout en ne voulant pas remplir cahier après cahier. Personnellement, soit je recopie soit je prends les pages en photos pour alimenter mes carnets en ligne Evernote.

Het idee is leuk en werkt. Als de tekst er al een langere tijd op staat is het een stuk lastiger om het weg te halen. Ook blijf je wel aan het papier zien dat er al eerder op geschreven is. Helaas zijn na 1 maand allebei de pennen er mee gestopt.
