    Great for notes, but not the right thing for anything else

    Works perfectly with this app! There is also nothing to complain about in terms of quality. What bothers me is the pen, with which you can't make very precise sketches. I had too high expectations.

    Nice toy but not really necessary

    I ordered the thing according to the motto: Let's see, maybe it's really useful for me. The result: I don't really see the absolute necessity and the additional benefit for my everyday life to use this notebook. Transferring notes to the Inkspace app works perfectly when the Bluetooth connection between Bamboo and the app is established, which took a while. The advantage is that you can also use an ordinary notepad instead of, for example, the sinfully expensive notebooks like Moleskine. Of course, you can also buy the sinfully expensive original pads from Wacom and of course the equally expensive special ballpoint pen refills from Wacom that go with them, which are a must. As I said, the transfer of notes works perfectly, but you only have black and white notes in the app and the functions for colour editing in Inkspace are absolutely primitive, as are other functions of the app. If you want to edit the notes, you have to export them and edit them in other programmes.

    My conclusion: Nice digital toy but not really necessary for everyday life.
    My recommendation for creating and managing notes: Take a normal analogue notepad and a few coloured pens. If you want to save, edit and manage your notes digitally, I recommend a scanner app like CamScan or Microsoft Lens (there are probably many more). The colour notes you create are scanned in good quality within seconds, archived and converted into any format for post-processing in various programmes. The whole thing is much cheaper, more flexible, more convenient and faster than the Wacom Bamboo solution.

    All in all a good product

    The characters and writing are very well reproduced.
    The big disadvantage is the pen, which keeps twisting shut (had to fix it with tape).

    Pro

    • Very good character representation
    • Good haptics thanks to "normal" pen

    Contra

    • Pen keeps turning on its own
