User Reviews

Users find the Elfinbook notebook itself high quality and appreciate the concept of reusable, erasable pages coupled with a scanning app. The app offers good scanning features and cloud syncing. However, multiple reviews criticize the app's frequent crashes, poor export functionality causing infinite loading of PDFs, login difficulties, weak OCR performance, and overall poor design and usability. These issues significantly impact the app's reliability and usefulness, leading some to abandon it despite liking the concept and hardware.

Pros

The physical Elfinbook notebook is praised for its delicate, smooth paper and reusability with erasable notes.
The app provides useful scanning features such as border detection, perspective correction, and contrast enhancement for clearer scans.
Users appreciate the cloud sync and online access capabilities for their notes and scanned documents.
The notebook and app combination facilitate digital note-taking and PDF exports, aiding in organization and paper savings.
The concept of reusable notebooks combined with a companion app is appreciated for educational and professional use.

Cons

The app frequently crashes, fails to open, or loses user data, causing frustration and loss of notes.
Export functions are buggy or broken; users experience infinite loading when trying to save or share PDFs to cloud services like Google Drive or Nextcloud.
Login issues arise often, including required login after updates, inability to reset passwords, and poor customer support responses.
OCR functionality is weak or non-functional, often failing to recognize handwriting or causing long processing times without results.
App interface and usability have been described as poor, with non-intuitive workflows, missing features like multi-page scan by default, and issues saving or editing scans.
Some users report unwanted watermarks on exported PDFs that interfere with note content.
The physical notebook’s spiral binding and corresponding app functionality sometimes hinder smooth use and user experience.

Recent reviews

I have Rocketbook and Elfinbook. I use those two for two years. I prefer Elfinbook. First, Elfinbook paper is more delicate and smooth, it slows better the pen, Rocketbook is sturdier but slippery. Notebook holds better in time than Rocketbook. Rocketbook app is very limited in actual use and finicky and Hasbro be connected.Elfinbook has a webapp with storage. The scanning app is great, you put a blank page anywhere and it detects borders, straightens your pages, contrasts properly the paper so it is white. You can easily recompose your scans, reorder, exports PDF, sync online. Only annoying stuff is that the app is not in multi page scan by default, and from the webapp one cannot mass download.

My files don't load anymore in the app. On the desktop version, I don't even see my files anymore. Just my folders and subfolders, no documents. Please fix this.
