What are you waiting for? Go get you a boogie board or a few! Seriously though…..I have been a user of Boogie Board the last 10 years! So I was a youngin’ and was losing my hearing. Found out the reason was because I have a condition called NEUROFIBROMATOSIS TYPE 2 that cause tumors to form inside the body anywhere. Mine started on the hearing nerves and brain. 4 to be exact. So another person with NF2 is the one that got me hip to Boggie Board. Boogie Board has been a life saver for me in a lot of interactions and when I say let me get my Boogie Board for you to write on people automatically think of a Boogie Board you find at the ocean. Then I break out this writing tablet and they are impressed - even doctors or hospital settings or even the police! I took 4 of the Jots with me when it was time for brain surgery #2 that made me 100% deaf.They came in handy for the nurses and doctors to communicate as I do NOT know sign language! The inpatient rehab tried to use a caption app but it fail miserably. It typed out if you wanna stop breathing just stop and I will eat you. That’s not what he said but he was explaining their policy should I stop breathing! So my mom handed him a boggie board to write on for me! I have used all different styles of Boogie Boards from the Jot Jot Pocket Blackboard Smart Scan Jot Writing tablet with Folio! I have a Jot in every room of my house so it’s readily available for people who visit me and communicate since I am now 100% deaf thanks to 2 brain surgeries and 1 involving the brain stem. My 5 siblings each have 1 boogie board at their house for when I come over so they have them in their drawers tucked away. Even my 4 nieces and nephews have asked their parents for their own to be able to draw on but also write to Auntie! So in my purse I carry a Jot Pocket and Jot Folio! I love the Jot with Folio. I love all boogie Board products but the Jot with Folio is by far my favorite! Why? Because it has a thicker cover that opens like a book. I just find it protects the Boogie Board better! The batteries have lasted 6 years in them before having to replace them. I love the fact that the batteries are replaceable so the Boogie Board last a long time! A SUGGESTION: I find it easier by doing this and the pen is never getting lost! *** I took 2 pieces of knitting string and made them long enough where the whole pen was able to go across the boogie board when someone writes! I then tied it to the pen holder and then the pen! Just to make sure it stay ties at both ends I simply took Gorilla Glue Super Glue the brush and brushed it on at the ends and a little up where the tie was. I did it twice let the first coat dry.
Wanted to love these. But at least for the colored ones the ink is too faint. The notes are hard to read. I have not tried the black ones yet. Hopefully they are better.
Great concept not so great implementation. Writing looks fuzzy and minimal contrast makes it very difficult to read. Unfortunately I don't see them being used.
I recently started learning to read and write Japanese and writing exercises can require a great amount of paper. The Jot™ allows me to conserve paper and it's extremely portable: I can take it to the library to study in quiet or to my workplace to sneak in a few exercises during lunch or if work is slow. Also the folio cover feature is a bit higher quality than I expected.When I don't need it for practice I can still use it for whatever else it can be useful for. I'm extremely impressed with how intuitively simple it is to use and it's even slimmer than I expected.
When I was looking for options for my kid's birthday return gift got a nice deal with boogie board and ordered it. The product is excellent in terms of quality and packaging. Kids enjoyed it a lot.
I am very pleased with the Pocket Jot but I wish there was a cover for it. If I write something on it and put it in my purse the writing gets all messed up.
Great size for slipping into backpacks. Portable and light for on-the-go use. Bought it for my 6 year old and her 9 and 12 year old brothers also wanted to use it :)
I am unable to speak and I have found this helpful but it is too easy to lose the stylus and the cost of shipping a new stylus is almost as much as the cost of a replacement. An improved design would find a way to attach the stylus to a chord so it could be more secure. Also if my hand touches the pad while writing the pad is marked too easily
I wanted to love these reusable notes and I thought they would be great for making notes and taking with or having in the car but the magnet is completely useless. I stuck the magnet in my car and the note does not stick it at all. It’s simply slides down.
I bought this while on a business trip. I came across it at WalMart. I used it to take note throughout the conference. It worked wonderfully. The only issue was it was hard to scan with the app. So I used my scanning app from my phone and it worked great. I save on having another pad or journal of notes. I can take the scans and email them to my laptop from my phone and have a forever digital copy of my notes. I love how easy this is and works.
The stylus that came with my Boogie Board was round the ones I bought were more rectangular in shape and do not fit in the clip on the top of the board. If this is your way of not keeping the board and stylus connected so the stylus for sure will get lost more often and I would need to buy more then - good job!
I've been using a Jot Pocket tablet for a long time but it finally got a bit scratched and the writing became fainter so I ordered a new one. However I've been disappointed with the new one: using the supplied stylus (as I have always done) the text or sketches seem to spread and it's impossible to make small marks.
Boogie Board is a great product. It’s worth every bit. This is my only form of communication as I woke up deaf from a severe sickness and ear infection with green pus flowing out it. I have several different styles of Boogie Boards from Kent Display. I like the fact that some take a replaceable battery! I still keep coming back for more because when this is your only form of communication with the hearing world you make sure you extra back up! I have 6 in each room of house 3 in my car 1 in my book bag 1 in the purse and 1 at each 6 of my siblings home so I don’t feel left out when at family functions. Kent Display’s customer service is excellent. They are very responsive during business hours. I think the longest it took was 25 minutes for a reply back when I reached out to them! Now understand that may NOT happen to you and you may have a little longer wait but they answer within the same day! As you see in picture I have some knitting string attached to Boogie Board and pen. It’s a good length so you can still reach the whole board. I just find that it’s easier to get pencil out of holder Also the pencil can’t get lost or misplaced! So it works for me! But you can do what works for and your needs!
Love the concept. Kids love it and we also use it for practical purposes in the kitchen. Didn't like that the pen doesn't come with a string to attach it to the pad.
I got this as a present for my husband's birthday. He was able to use it twice before the pen stopped erasing. I'm glad I can purchase the pen separately from the rest of the pack but I wish I didn't have to so soon after purchasing.
I bought an older model a couple years ago. Kids found it again after an under the sofa hiatus and now want to use it again but it won’t erase. I can’t find a way to change the battery. So I email customer service and within a day someone got back to me and told me the older model you cannot change the battery and (but now you can in this newer one). And without asking she is sending me a replacement tab for the dog case. AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE (Erika was her name). I’ll be buying some more holiday gifts from this company because of this. Also the toy is cool and even cooler than newer model has option to change battery. But it lasted several yrs before battery died.
I wanted to love them so much. I bought 2 sizes and the desktop display. The concept is great but they don't erase consistently. More times than not it was a fight tapping the thing up to 10 times before it would erase. I take credit card numbers all day long over the phone and these would be perfect to write them down and then erase when I was done. They were simply too frustrating. I sent them back. The return process isn't the easiest either but at least they allow it.
I have purchased products in the past and have never had issues with the products failing to erase. It doesn't erase properly or to erase you have to click the button several times and even then there is still writing left over.
I received the Versa Notes Boogie Boards as a gift and I initially thought it was going to be a great concept. As other reviewers mention the pen (erase - magnetic feature) stopped working within a month of receiving it and its not like I used it a lot! After going to my co-workers to find their workable pen I was tired of having to go to them so I Googled my Boogie Board Versa pen will not erase. Lo & Behold it has batteries - 2 AAAA. Yes you read that right four A's. The VERY tiny screw is under the attachment clip. I am hoping once I get the batteries it will work again. I may change my star status if it starts working again! I wish it would have been more clear there were batteries and maybe even come with the tiniest screw driver. It literally is teeny tiny probably like the size for glasses.
Fun is the best word to describe this puzzle. So many things to look at like hats, gloves, picnic supplies and s'mores. Very colorful foreground, house and northern lights too!
Fascinating puzzle, complicated with the variations of house colors, roof lines and balconies, and challenging considering the amount of rock, sea and sky. Beautiful to look at while working on it.
The taller puzzles are not my preferred shape. They take up too much space and are difficult to reach. I have many Charles Wysocki puzzles and prefer the usual size.
It is always exciting when Buffalo Games introduces a new Charles Wysocki 1000 piece puzzle and this was no exception! I ordered it immediately and it arrived within days. I was a really great puzzle to do! I absolutely loved the colors! The lighthouse and clouds were fun challenges too! Keep the new Charles Wysocki 1000 piece puzzles coming please!!
I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy this puzzle because of the swaths of color, with little intricate detail. And, a lot of repeating color motifs throughout. It was actually a very fun puzzle to complete, taller than it was wide, (a little different) pieces went together well, and the image was bright and cheerful!
Oh my GOSH!! This is the coolest, most FUN puzzle to not only put together but to put on the wall afterwards! There are so many fun little things to see on the pieces themselves that make it very interesting to put together. You definitely won't get bored with it!
And like all Aimee Stewart puzzles, the graphics are stunning and worthy of wall art. This one is DEFINITELY going up! The only problem is deciding exactly WHICH wall to put it on! LOL
I really had fun putting this puzzle together. It was easier than I expected it to be which was nice. I’m a big Star Wars fan so this puzzle was perfect for me.
