Disappointed with the diary I was looking forward to, the ink drools even when you wait. Customer service sent me refills, less drool but still the same. I've missed the deadline for returning the diary because customer service didn't get back to me in time. (2 emails in 14 days)

Good on the whole, but I ordered the diary and the pens from the brand and I still find that you can see a lot of what was written before (without leaving the writing for a long time before erasing it). I doubt I'll be able to use it for more than three years, which is a shame. I doubt I'll be able to use it for more than three years, which is a pity, and I should add that even while waiting for the ink to dry, there are often transfers and drooling. Important point: do not use with any other brand of friction pen, it's a disaster! Fast, careful delivery.

I'm always disappointed that I can only use the black pen, because the other colors don't erase! If I don't erase my work right away, several days later it has to be done with a hair dryer, and that always leaves traces apart from the black pen.

I bought a Notebook + Pens pack and have been using them for about 2 weeks. The ink dries slowly, which is not suitable for "intensive" use. I have to take notes in meetings or for myself on a daily basis (I work in communications), and find myself stuck at the end of the page waiting for the ink to dry before turning the page... Otherwise, the notebook goes everywhere with me on a daily basis, and despite taking care of it, the protective film on the cover is starting to peel off.as far as erasing and rewriting are concerned, there's nothing to say it works perfectly.in short, a product to be improved in its use, which I'd happily recommend in the future if practicality improves :)

Very pretty notebook and the ink erases very easily. However, the pages are damaged more quickly than I expected (rubbing with water erased an outline) and the ink takes a long time to dry, so the writing smudges regularly.

The notebook seems fine, pleasant to write in, a little downside for the ink drying, on the other hand, I bought it for transcribing notes into a pdf or word file, and it turns out that the CamScanner application costs 32 euros/year...I thought the idea of a manuscript and being able to transcribe into a file was nice, I'll stick to taking notes on the computer...

Response from econotes
Hello, thank you for your opinion. Concerning the ink, it does indeed need a few seconds to dry, like a fountain pen. If the ink takes longer to dry, don't hesitate to contact us to check that the pen has no defects. The CamScanner application has a totally free part that works very well for scanning notebook pages. You can also use another scanning application if you wish, such as Adobe Scan, genius scan or scanbot.

The product looks great. I'll see how it goes in daily use. It's a shame, though, that the dots aren't the same size as the usual bujo dots, and the frame reduces the page space a bit. I do think it's a pity, however, that delivery charges + customs duties + postage + VAT make the Econotebook double the initial price for delivery in French overseas departments and territories. No doubt not the manufacturer's fault, but something to bear in mind if you want to buy one.

Translated reviews
Response from econotes
Hello Lionel, First of all I'd like to thank you for taking the time to write this review... Customer service will be in touch with you very shortly as the traces should not remain after deletion. We will check your pages for defects. Concerning pen ink, it is thermosensitive, meaning that it can "disappear" depending on temperature. With the current high temperatures, take care not to leave them in the heat, as this could alter the wear life of the pen. Finally, concerning the pen-holder, the elastic does tend to stretch over time. That's why we're developing a new solution in-house.

I ordered two A5 notebooks and for each notebook, 4 pens (black, blue, green, red). The packages were delivered in a not very thick bubble wrap envelope which did not protect the products during transport. In one of the two packages, 2 pens had been broken and are completely unusable. I immediately emailed customer service but haven't heard anything since December 1st. So on December 7th I sent a message from the contact form. I hope to hear back this time: In the following days, customer service sent me back new pens, carefully packaged. Apparently, a problem with their platform delayed the processing of requests/complaints.

The finish of the products is borderline for the price of a notebook... they're not pretty. The diary is poorly designed: I would have suggested double pages with the days in columns mentioning the hours of the day. The ink takes a long time to dry, which makes it impossible to use this type of notebook to take notes in professional mode in the field, because as soon as you turn the page, everything drools and fades or leaves marks? In the end, it cost me a kidney and two lungs for gadgets that won't last long, that won't be used and I'm going to buy a paper diary and notepads... too bad, because the idea was really brilliant! ,

A printing problem on a few pages and pens that dry too slowly. But after sending an e-mail, the team is in the process of rectifying the situation. They phoned me straight away to offer to send me a new diary and other pens. Very responsive and efficient after-sales team. I'd definitely recommend them, especially as the concept of reusable notebooks is great! Feedback: after reporting my problem to the after-sales service, I was pleasantly surprised to be contacted by e-mail and telephone. I received a new diary and set of pens, which are perfect. I recommend them 100% without hesitation and I'll be sure to place another order soon: the A5 notebook really appeals to me! Thank you to this company for their attentiveness and responsiveness!

I'm quite happy with the product, and hope that the pens will stand up to travel. However, I'm very disappointed by the packaging for an initiative that claims to be environmentally friendly... plastic, a polystyrene sheet and a plastic bubble-paper envelope just for a notebook and pens, it's a bit much. I'm confident you'll be quick to react and correct this faux-pas :)

Hi Solène, Thanks for your feedback... The plastic used in the notebooks is oxo-biodegradable, meaning that it decomposes under the effect of light, oxygen and heat!... As for polystyrene, we've made every effort to banish it from our packaging. At present, there is no more?

Hi Carole, thanks for your feedback! ??pen ink is water-based and heat-sensitive. Like a fountain pen, it can take a few seconds for the ink to dry. This can vary according to temperature. If it's very hot, it may take a little longer, but it's a matter of a few seconds more.

Hello No! Thank you very much for your feedback! Pen ink is heat-sensitive and therefore water-based, so it's not comparable with the ink in "typical" Bic pens. A cartridge is equivalent to 400 m of writing? ! We sell refills on our site, so the pen is not a single-use item, but can be refilled just like a fountain pen ??

Edit: very good follow-up from the team, who take problems into account and really think about how to help. Indeed, moistening the wipe is perfect for erasing. I've also switched to the econotebk app. On the other hand, when it comes to drying the ink, I'm sticking to my guns, it doesn't dry quickly at all: taking notes in a meeting, the page stayed open for a good 10 minutes before being closed again. When I reopened it to add a few words, the page next to it was all stained. I let it dry for another 5 minutes before closing it again, and the page next to it was stained and the ink had half faded. My opinion of these notebooks is mixed. I ordered the xl pack. The quality is good, the dispatch is neat, the pens are supplied with each notebook and the ecological aspect is an undeniable plus.but for the price, I thought the app was free but you have to pay extra to use it. (edit, I changed app on the advice of the sav) What's more, it takes well over 10 to 15 seconds for the ink to dry and when you want to write a lot or play something quickly, it's complicated. Some of it gets erased, or you stain the following sheets by turning the page. Finally, I don't know how you do it on the videos, but I can't erase with the microfiber. (Edit: just wet the wipe, it's magic :))

I'm following up on your exchange with Stéphen and the clarifications you received. The application is a tool we're suggesting as we await our own application in 2022. This application, Camscanner or AdobeScan, has a free part. It's true that you have to click on a little hidden cross to access this part. Concerning drying time: like a fountain pen, this can take a few seconds. It's true that this can vary according to temperature. If it's very hot, it may take a little longer, but it's a matter of a few seconds more... As for the wipe, you do need to moisten it to erase. In the end, it's the water that does the erasing. You can use the wipe supplied or any other cloth. We're trying to improve our communication on how to use the product. You'll find a QR code on the cover page that takes you back to all the usage information for your EcoNotebk as well as for your pens. After-sales service will get back to you in a few days to confirm that, with this information, your EcoNotebk experience is going as well as you'd hoped?

Hello Nicolas! You contacted us to let us know that your parcel was not present at the relay point. Pénélope from customer service got back to you the same day. We made some enquiries and it turned out that your parcel had indeed been collected from the relay point, against signature. A worldwide parcel is collected against a signature and proof of identity. We obtained the signature used and sent it to you. Despite this, we continue to believe in your good faith. To this day, we are still waiting for your declaration of non-receipt of the parcel and the copy of your ID to act on your behalf with Mondial Relay. I'd like to remind you that we're currently talking to you about taking action with Mondial Relay, even though your parcel was collected from the relay point, in exchange for an ID and a signature.
