Product Review of Jot's Boogie Boards

The first time I saw 1 of these devices was at the Navy Exchange at NSA Bethesda. They're interesting devices. I think πŸ€” of them as an adult etch a sketch. You can make lists on them and when you're done with the list, you press a button on them and, it erases the list or whatever you had on them. You use a stylus that causes your writing ✍️ to appear on the black screen in color. The writing ✍️ or drawing stays πŸ€” there till you erase it. The only way you can save your work is by taking a picture πŸ“Έ of it with their app or your phone πŸ“±camera. I've heard more expensive devices enable you to transfer your work via Bluetooth. The 2 devices I bought are very cheap which was a major factor in me finally trying them. The smaller of the 2 comes close to the size of a cell phone πŸ“± and cost me over $11. The larger of the 2 comes in the size of a notepad and costs around $23. 1 major difference between the 2 besides their size is their batteries. You can't replace the battery on the smaller model while you can with the larger 1. This means when the battery πŸ”‹ runs out, you have to throw it away and buy another  - a major drawback in my opinion. Jot does have an app that does the same thing (as I understand it) as a camera πŸ“· on your cell phone πŸ“± in saving any work you want saved. Once you save the work on your phone πŸ“±, you should be able to print πŸ–¨ it. I have an app that allows me to do that.

Overall, I've been pleased πŸ˜€ with the devices though I like πŸ‘ the larger one more because of the battery πŸ”‹ issue. They can be handy and, I plan to take them with me on my next cruise πŸ›³ (October 2026). They'll save you paper πŸ“ƒ, pens πŸ–Š  and pencils as well as being extremely cheap to use. Happy 😊 creating with them.
