I write in bars a lot, sitting alone and sipping something cold. Jesus, Iβm not exaggerating when I tell you 6 strangers walked up to me to ask WHAT this beautiful thing that Iβm typing on is. I donβt regret paying extra for the valentine version. My only complaint is that the case is quite cheap, very thin plastic. But life isnβt perfect
It writes so smoothly and saves automatically. There's no distractions so I can focus on my writing
Great purchase that has helped me to focus and write again! Itβs very user and travel friendly!
Had a Traveler. Loved it. Sold it. Missed it. Now that they've solved the lag issue, I got myself a new one. Love it. You'll love it too.
I received this as a gift from the London Writers Salon. I wasn't sure how much I'd be using this, especially if I'm at home. But I find it super useful. I'm using it multiple times a week. I love that literally all I can do is write. No distractions whatsoever.
My only issue which knocks it off a star for me is that I'm a very fast typer. And often times the words tend to get jumbled, which forces me to go back and delete words. Which to me defeats a bit of the purpose of it being distraction-free. Other than that, I find it wonderful! Pleased that I don't have to lug a computer or tablet with an external keyboard!
I really wanted love this device! The issue is that I cannot retrieve my document from my Alpha!! I followed the instructions and still cannot get the interface to work. Very disappointing. Plus, the screen is too small. Will be returning.
The great thing about Freewrite is that it lets you just write. I mean just click keys in some semblance of an order maybe only understandable to me. To get thoughts down without the constraints of form, spelling or even any chronological order for plot or coherence. Just to write thoughts and store them in a place to maybe deal with later in some editing program. Freewrite does not pressure me into getting it perfect or even correct. I can with one button send everything I have to a text file emailed to me for a later look or completion. It is also handy to type all my handwritten stuff from 45 years of creativity to compile for printing or adding to in a digital format for saving and easier distribution. Thank you. Cheers!
Do I think this is necessary? No. However, I have loved this notebook so far. I've used the discbound system in the past and returning to it feels very nice. Adding and removing pages is easy. Designing my own pages and then slipping them in will be no issue, once I get the hole punch. Lastly, I like the premium leather that's used for the cover. I know that this will last and survive being carried everywhere, with the Freewrite emblem as a nice touch. I look forward to customizing this notebook with bigger rings as my projects change and evolve.
I love this product. The only downside I can think of is that tapping the keys is a bit loud.
Iβve been using this machine almost nonstop since I got it. I sit on my patio and thereβs direct sunlight and I can see every little thing. I am enjoying working with the ps plus subscription so that I can move my documents back-and-forth a little bit. Iβm loving just how much I can write with abandon and remember not to edit. Itβs definitely promoting the flow states I was hoping for..
Loving my Traveler. Ease of use, comfortable typing experience and portability is top notch.
i love this product so much and itβs only day one
Ease of use a plus and learning the key funtions was simple, a bit expensive, but overall I have loved it.π
The device is great to type on. I enjoy writing on it but could never recommend it to anyone due to the cost. The value simply isn't there. You can't set the time and date on the device without connecting it to the internet. This wouldn't matter, except it is how it names files when you transfer them off of the device. You can't write files to the device over USB, you can only read files. These are super simple and basic features that the device is fully capable of doing because it is all available through the internet and their pay service. Extremely disappointed in the company for ruining what could be a decent device.
I have used Levengerβs Circa system almost since the beginning and have disks in various sizes and materials, paper in all sizes and directionality (I really miss the Rhodia partnership), and at least a half a dozen covers.
So I did not need a Freewrite cover. Doesn't mean I didn't buy one and put it to use. I just didn't need one :)
Working on novel about family history and its redemption.
Love the 100K pin! Such a sense of accomplishment! Thanks Freewrite!
I love this gadget. It is so simple. A keyboard that sends your words into the cloud. As a child I used to journal and write and attend All the young writers conferences. As I got older I became blocked. This little device has allowed me to find the freedom to write again. I can't express how much I love it. I use it everyday. I have had the thing for about 2 weeks and have written about a thousand words a day easily, not counting three scripts, and five full outline drafts. It is kind of been a magic device for me. It is so simple and easy to use. It looks cool. It feels cool. It works great. Thank you Astrohaus for a fantastic product.
I love writing regardless of tool, but this device has rekindled my overwhelming NEED to write. I absolutely love using this smart typewriter, and so every day I look forward to the process with newfound energy.
This was a birthday gift for my mother and the setup was easy! She's excited to get back to writing!
Craftsmanship is very nice. AttachΓ© is crisp, keys are clicking well, only thing is space bar βsticksβ but it works if you press it. Good purchase and fun to use. Excited to write again.
