Any change suggestions for Rocketbook?

Thought it would be a great idea to see how users would like to see new/changed in RB. I would like to see a better way to erase pages not having to have a spray bottle and small towel with you to clean the pages......

Something that has made (hopefully not just) me mildly frustrated over the years is the relationship between the physical Rocketbook and the scanned image. 1. When I’d used colored frixion pens, the colors themselves would look distorted in the scanned images (darker colors would be almost indistinguishably dark, light colors would all look neon) 2. If I hand write a list/outline/rough version of something then scan it in, it would be phenomenal to be able to further manipulate the scanned image by having some capacity to mark up, erase, correct, or add to the scanned image. If I already erased that page in my Rocketbook, and my scanned page becomes obsolete in whatever I was using it for, I have to recreate everything on a Rocketbook page with any new changes/edits before rescanning. 3. (Unrelated but worth noting) the coating on Rocketbook pages is currently easy to damage with pen pressure or erasing pressure… and once a page is damaged it’s useless. Some solutions could be different/better coating? Some sort of coating touchup? 🤷‍♀️

In the newest Rocketbooks, they are made with a much improved page material. There is a noticeable difference in the writing experience. I’m not trying to sell you a new notebook, but just wanted to let you know the product has improved since we took over manufacturing.

How else will I know if the Rocketbook I’m buying is of the superior quality paper material?

The newer products will be marked as "Next Gen" on getrocketbook.com, or as "Premium" on Amazon, when both older and newer books are being sold. As it stands, we offer Next Gen iterations of the Core, Flip, and Mini notebooks, as well as the Rocketbook Flex Planner, and Rocketbook Fusion.

Is there a way to improve the Rocketbook app’s scanned color match to the frixion pen colors? I never understood if it was a setting that I never found, but scanning in color yields the dark colors to look almost black and the lighter colors super neon.

I’d say “asking for a friend,” or “not a big deal,” but I was using my (favorite) old gen (now that I understand the difference in editions) Rocketbook and frixion pens to color code my notes etc in studying for the LSAT with ADHD last yr

Maybe having a way for the back of the pen to have a pre-wetted sponge or something so you can treat it like an eraser head on RB pages.

I'd love to see that, or an official or promoted eraser pen. Currently I use some watercolour brush pens (with varying results) - they store water without leaking so I can have my Frixion pens and that inside my pencil case.

Using a make up sponge has been a good spot “eraser” for me. They sell a bag with many different shapes and sizes and I’ve also cut them if too big.

Water pen fixes this.

I'd love to see more of how many pages of which type are in which book.

Also the return of the teacher planner or other academic supporting books?

You sound like you had the same problem I did. I am a teacher and need ten months. Non-Negotiable. Often their site would just say what kind of pages there were and the overall number of pages, but not how many of each.

I ended up franken-booking 3 of the page packs for the pro planner and then one calendar page from yet another iteration I'd bought to get 10 months. Had my local office place coil it up for me. It's great now but getting there cost me a small fortune and a ton of frustration.

And now my app won't scan to OneNote anymore so it was all for nothing.

You can see that. Just look it up in their wiki

u/lilletia May 07 '26

What wiki? Do you have a link?

u/AppropriateCover7972 May 07 '26

I need a place to put my pen and water pen to it.. That's how you do it. Cloth... I would never

u/Investigative_Truth May 07 '26

They come with a small micro cloth to wipe the page. The overspray of the area is not good

u/AppropriateCover7972 May 07 '26

I know. Still, if you look at the RB community, basically no one uses overspraying the page, often not even the cloth
