App Profile: Boogie Board Jot

Picture scan looks like a black and white photocopy and not a very good one. Requires very steady hands to execute in auto mode or you can take it manually. Zoom out so the whole board is visible otherwise if it captures just the screen; the image is cropped at the edges too tight. The edit mode is a simple black pen or yellow highlighter. An erase feature was the first thing I looked for but it’s not available. It makes sense to have that option because it’s not possible to erase one thing on the board so I’d like to at least be able to erase in the app. I may use it but not sure it’ll last for long. I hope they improve it.

The speed and simplicity of both the product and the app is wonderful. The interface with my iPhone XS max is delightful. I love to try out the latest electronics and computers and often spend quite a lot of money on things that have tons of features. What I especially like about this product is that I can keep this in my glove box so that when I’m running around I don’t have to take my iPhone or my iPad or any other expensive devices. When I want to jot down a note I just open it up right the note close it put it back in the glove box. There is no lag time to Boot it up Or to worry about recharging it. Given the very very low price point I’m going to give this out his gifts to friends of mine who will love it. I’ve only had it a couple of hours but I can see using it quite frequently for simple notetaking.

If it takes longer than five seconds to scan with the Jott that is black in front of a white background, then what's the point of having magnets on the back or holding it up. I waited one minute with no autoscan recognizing. I pressed the manual button and got the ugliest skin I've ever seen. It's faster to tap the photo button on your iPhone and take a picture. For $19 that I bought it for a Cosco, it's only good for having at the family breakfast when arguing over howto arrange or fix something at work or for having it around by the nightstand or in your car instead of throwing out paper. I will take a picture if it something I need to save. If it's something important after Jotting down my initial note, I will actually use pen and paper. You get what you pay for and for $19 this is exactly what it is – just something to jot down that you would normally throughout after. Don't plan on giving it to an artist to draw their next masterpiece and try to scan. I'm sure this will improve in the future, the app that is.
