I’m a veteran of digital planning on the iPad and I’ve recently got a remarkable for my birthday. What I’ve found is I’m wasting so much less money and time (on digital stickers and planners) by using the reMarkable. On the iPad it’s so easy to overcomplicate things on a planning page - what colour scheme, which stickers, what font, how to customise the spread etc. With the reMarkable you just simply handwrite everything. I’m journaling way more and actually using my planners to get stuff done! And I’m watching less TH-cam videos etc.
I use them together. I love my rM2 and I use it for school, budget planner, fitness planner, bible study, daily planner and other things. I have the paper write on the iPad and its just not a good writing experience even with it on vs. the rM2. For class, if I don’t want to take my laptop, I use my 12.9 iPad along with my rM2 to take notes and study. As you mentioned, it’s not trying to be a iPad which is one reason I think people should stop comparing them, they are not even in the same category per se.
I use both as well, in my case IPad mini 6 and Remarkable 2. I’m a grad student, I do pdf annotations on the IPad as I can color code hilights etc. I use remarkable for planning, budgeting, note taking, brainstorming, draft writing, etc. I haven’t used any pens or paper for about 3 months now. I’ve loved having all my notebooks organized
Great review! I am glad to see someone in the digital planning community reviews reMarkable 2. I use both reMarkable 2 and iPad for digital planning and love both!
So far Remarkable looks very limited and I can’t adjust the price point. So for foreseeable future I am an IPad girl
This device is awsome but still need some modifications... It would be great if they add these features and updates to next gen. Remarkable 3:
- Main ink colors.. red, yellow, blue, green...
- colored highlights..
- More file extension supports such as doc, docx, txt...etc.
- enhance the accuracy of the screen edges when writing on the edges of the screen. (reduce the effect of the magnet on writing).
- adding more memory storage such as up to 23 Gb or 64 Gb or adding external micro slote for more storage.
- enhancing the response of the device.
An iPad makes way more sense especially for all that money
Great review! I would personally stick with an iPad, as well.
I recently returned the RM2 because it is substantially inferior to the iPad for note taking. I use the PaperLike protector so the writing “feel” of the two devices is essentially indistinguishable. Beyond that, iPad note writing apps are substantially superior to the one-size-fits-all construct of RM2. BTW, I use Noteshelf 3. Third, while the interface between the RM2 and its web app worked, it creates another step that takes time and focus. Suffice it to say, as a note taking device, the iPad is vastly better. Finally, I get how RMs is distraction free, and that’s nice, but even while working with my RM2, I always had my iPhone handy to create distractions. The point being, the distraction-free advantage is illusory. Finally (really, this time) the Apple Pencil is more functional, ie double tap erase, multiple colors, etc. I wanted to make the RM2 my go-to decide, but after a 10-day trial I was glad to send it back.
i love my reMarkable 2!!! but..... i love my iPad more. its complicated lol
All my co workers have the remarkable as well. However they all drool over my iPad abilities.
I've used the reMarkable2 for years, it's been great, but it's getting a bit dated at this point. Looking to update to the new SuperNote this summer.
Colour is when you sync these notes on laptop you can see colours
I don’t think iPad and remarkable2 are comparable….different use cases
remarkable is cool but ipad is already perfect
its not easy to search your notes in remarkable
I like to think of an iPad as something in between an iPhone and a MacBook
Only cons about remarkable is the price 😂😂
I am your second viewer 😂
I am your first viewer
thanks for the review! 🫶
