Boogie Board J32220001 Jot 8.5 eWriter - Blue

After more than 2 weeks of using, boogie board won't erase all the writings on the screen.

Great product. No issues after 6 months of use. Better than other similar stuff like ruffpad. Great contrast and quality!Read description well though, erased stuff can't be recovered, no save option, etc.

Aunque le encanta a mi hija, lo uso para plasmar ideas o hacer operaciones sencillas.Durable y de calidad. Escribe a la primera. He probado alternativas más económicas y se siente sin respuesta y no se ve bien. Este funciona como debe.

This newer version of the Boogie Board offers indeed (as promised by the manufacturer) a better contrast, which enable you to use the Jot app to take a picture and convert the writing into a black/white format on your phone/tablet etc. This is a very handy feature. The writing tablet itself is relatively thin and light so it is easy to carry with you. However, if you do, you have to use some sort of protection (sleeve), because I don't think it will survive travelling in a backpack or other bag without it. I'm not too crazy about the way the stylus is "anchored" with the tablet. It's a bit of a hassle to get it out and you risk dropping it when pushing it too hard out of its socket. Just a minor inconvenience, but on the positive side, it does keep the tablet's surface flat, which is good. So, if you need a handy tool to take quick notes or pass some creative time while waiting for your doctor's appointment etc., this is a good option. The price is okay, but I do think these devices should be sold for less.

Very responsive surface, legible in daylight, a bit less under artificial light at night. Fridge magnets on the back and android app make it a very interesting product. My kids loved it too. However, too thin/flimsy and build quality is issue, my daughter dropped it and it stopped working. A product targeted at kids should be able to take some rough handling.

My 4 year old son with autism has never had any interest in coloring with crayons and he likes using pens on paper but gets really aggressive and doesn't stay on the paper. There are doodling apps for iPad but if he has an iPad in his hands (which he adores) he's going to be watching YouTube kids, not drawing with his finger.I was hoping that this device would entice him to practice his pencil holding skills and dexterity, save us going through lots of paper and pens and getting unwanted ink everywhere, and hopefully entertain him at church for a short time, haha!What I like about it is how thin and light it is! I can easily throw this in any bag and not even notice it's there. The color of the marks that appear is vivid green and very appealing. The flat pencil like stylus that comes with the board is easy to hold and manipulate for adults or children. I love that the pencil clips into place at the base of the board so you don't have to worry about it floating loose in a bag or getting lost but you still have the freedom to write uninhibited unlike with those magnetic doodle boards where the stylus is attached by a string.My son likes that it appears somewhat like an iPad and he can push the "home button" to erase and start over as often as he wants.A few things to note:- Yes it is battery operated (1 3V comes pre installed)- No it doesn't have any sort of internal storage, connect to computers or save pictures or doodles- You can scan and save/share your images with a free app on your phone or tablet- It has magnets on the back enabling you to stick it easily to a fridge to jot down notes or display artwork or whatever. It sticks firmly enough not to be dislodged if the fridge door slams shut. That's a great feature- The screen does respond with some degree of sensitivity to the amount of pressure you push down with (see pic)- There is absolutely no delay in either the writing or the erasing. It is instantaneous- Be aware that if you write along the very edges of the screen, the lines will blur and even change color in spots (see pic)All in all this thing is very well made, compact and cool. It does what it advertises to do and does it well. I would definitely recommend!PS: I was NOT given this item free or at a discount in exchange for a review! I paid full price for it and am writing this review just because I want to help other people who are paying full price for stuff too! :D
