Boogie BoardJ32220001 Jot 8.5 eWriter - Blue

Im using my boogie board to record my scores during Magic: The Gathering Games. Some people use dice, some people use note pads. I use a boogie board....why?Well it's pretty simple. This little notepad weighs less than a note pad. It's a dream to write on and when I'm finished I click the button and boom! It's clean and ready to go again. So instead of throwing a load of trees in the bin I can just use this. It's also super useful around the home as it has its own magnets built into the back. This means you can simply stick it on the fridge at home or a metal surface and the entire family can use it. Alternatively you can use the included stylus to stand it up but I think this method is a bit flimsy for my liking, however it does work.The screen is clear to read and bright enough and never fades. The stylus action feels fluid and writes just like a pen. It's a really interesting and innovative invention and I love it. Write on it and the message remains until you press the wipe button. No charging required. Just a cheap single battery that only is required when you press the wipe button and not to power the screen. Fancy hey! Highly recommended gadget for every home and would make an awesome gift.

initially, I would have left a glowing review but after about 2 years the product stopped working (could not clear the screen). I installed new battery but still did not work.

I use this for my shopping list mainly. I used to have an old Boogie board but unfortunately the battery died and you could not renew it. This time I bought a cheaper version from another supplier but it was so inferior that I could hardly see what I had written. I returned that and bought this Boogie board which is perfect for the job and you can change the battery.

Works as expected,fairly straight forward,no way in the device to store your notes,but thats what it said in the description. They suggest taking photos of the notes but often ceiling lights and flash light reflect from the surface and make parts unreadable.

I used a Boogie Board at an event and thought I would get one and this is meant to be a newer model although it is a bit more flimsy compared older one.(The older one is like a computer tablet while this one is like a piece of plastic)The quality of this one was so bad I had to send mine back.It didn't look that good when you write on the screen and also marks started appearing on the screen from touching the screen and with the older model only the pen made marks on the screen.

I am guilty of not reading the reviews before buying. So many people have reported the exact same fault I found. Quite incredible how the company has done nothing to rectify this. The reason I bought without checking is my Mum, who cannot communicate verbally due to motor neurone disease, has a small Boogie Board from her speech therapist which is great. But it's very small so we thought let's just buy the next size up - same manufacturer so should be fine. Wrong.I bought one - after about a week it stopped working, specifically the erase button stopped working. This is what all those other reviewers had found too. I assumed it might be a one off so returned it and got a replacement. It lasted even less time, maybe 3 days. I thought maybe it's the battery, so I bought a new battery and that made no difference. I have returned the Boogie Board. The company has not responded to my emails. Absolutely hopeless - I have never had such a bad product from Amazon and I don't think I've ever left a 1 star review before. This is truly useless.DO NOT BUY THIS.

This items looks great but its to sensitive if it gets any knock at all it will not work. I purchased for my daughters as a Christmas gift and one broke on Christmas day (she drop it, I didn't witness the fall so assumed she had let it fall on the hard floor) I replaced it a few weeks later and again with in the day it was broken again (she did the same thing dropped it on the mat infront of the fire) She is 9 so not to young and I witnessed the second fall and it was only a little fall my 11 year old still has her one but it remains in the same place at all times in case of a fall.

Didn't get a chance to really use it. My daughter snatched it from me and she loves it. So far it seems to be schild proof too, so it has to be recommended.
