    I like this item. It's simple compact and works well. I just haven't gotten around to integrating with evernotes, but I am pleased to be able to keep copies of notes in the bamboo cloud. My only concern is having to buy the replacement ink. It's a bit pricey, however it does seem to last long.

    This is a good idea and useful for those note taking people who like the feel of pen and paper. Unfortunately my joy turned to disappointment on my second day of use. The Spark paired with my Samsung Tab A without a hitch on day one. Pages transferred as advertised. On day 2 the problems began. Lost connection message was all I could get from this folio.I tried several tips from user forums and no success. I contacted Wacom support via email. They gave me options that didn't help. They were telling me that I had an incomparable tablet and day one was a fluke. I checked the requirements thoroughly before purchasing this product. I even spoke with a member of the Geek Squad. Then the tech support guy told me that my stylus was incomparable with my tablet. The Spark has an ink pen and you write on a paper pad. So I tried paring with my smartphone a Droid running the latest OS and that was rocky at first then worked... For a while. Then after a few days and a dozen pages it became a 50 50 chance deal. Now I am at the crossroads with this device. Fight on or switch.

    I purchased this to use on the classroom so that I could save my notes digitally and review on the go instead of caring a notebook, it is amazing and I love I can store all my notes in one place. It even has write to text so I can send them to my friends whom may not be able to understand my writing. I give it 4 stars because the writing area is kind of smaller than I would like but it is still an awesome device.

    Daughters have had Bamboos for several years and enjoy them very much. They take a lot of wear from use and are very reliable. The Spark is great for on the go, as it had the protective cover capability. Definitely recommend.

    Great for those who love to have their notes exactly the same as their handwriting. The app situation can be a bit confusing but it does sync well. You may also have to push harder than you usually do with the pen.

    Works as intended and will copy the notes from its app to Evernote. Easy to use only downside is the pocket wish the made a holder for older iPads and not just the Air

    I frequently have to jot down client information and work in the office and out in the field. It has been very helpful to be able to pull up my notes through my phone when out of the office. Makes sharing notes with my colleagues a breeze!

    Allows drawing on paper pad and then transfers image to tablet via Bluetooth. Nothing fancy but if you like writing on paper but also want an image in electronic form this works for me...

    A great notepad able to digitize your handwriting and sketches. Even better new that it can translate from handwriting to text.

    This is the perfect bridge between the hand written and the digital! How does it work? As you write with the included pen, the tablet under the paper accurately records you writing to save as an electronic version. At first I was skeptical, but it's accuracy is spot on! It includes a thin pad of paper, but I use my own regular note pads and they work just as well (the key is the pen)! Plus, you can save notes in the tablet for transfer to your smart device later (via the app). The app allows for easy upload to a variety of note and cloud services. I personally use OneNote and Evernote and it has been seamless every time. Battery life is excellent, often lasting me most of a week, with moderate usage, then recharges easily via micro USB. The only "negative" I have is that it occasionally transfers a page to the app twice, but it has never lost a page. This is a must have for those who still prefer hand written notes and sketching, but want to store those same notes digitally!

    I really wanted to love this product, but after using it for a few weeks, it has ended up just sitting on a shelf collecting dust. The pen is cheap and doesn't write well, the Spark doesn't remember that I was mid-page when I turn it back on, and the software is mediocre at best. It is basically like spending $80 on a steno pad and Bic pen.

    I'd been keeping an eye out for years for something that provided a quality digital notetaking experience. When I saw this from Wacom (the industry-leader in digital art) at an affordable price, I jumped on it. Really great for quick sketching, very accurate digital transcription and a bunch of nice export options. Graphic-to-text isn't perfect, but it's easy to clean up, especially for just a short page of notes. Great for both loose sketches (logos, layouts, etc.) and for regular text notes.

    Purchased for college note taking, to transfer cursive to text which then is pasted into a document for proofing and submission. This product gets 5 starts because it does exactly what it says.
