Penpower RemoteGo Digital Writing Pad | Video & Voice Comment on PDF | Digital Whiteboard, Annotation, and Screen Recording | Pen Tablet for Adults

Good product

It was ok to use as soon as I got it working. The price is fine. I can recommend it as a first writing pad.

The easy use whiteboard. Best for live teaching.

first of all of this product I thought it was great in the beginning but then after three weeks of having it my Penn stop working I reached out to the company was there all the way in China somewhere and they email me constantly but the emails do not provide a solution all I want it was a new pen and now they’re talking about I need to mail the product in to them at my expense a no this is your product and it doesn’t work and I just purchased it. You should be paying for the shipping and other stuff. I would never buy their products again. They also sent me to some US contacts, he never answers the phone, and when he finally did answer the phone, he asked me to email him the problem. Boom still haven’t heard back from him . SMH.‼️. SMH.

This tablet has been a life saver with teaching virtually. It is so much easier to write on a flat surface with the tablet pen than trying to deal with a mouse. I use it for all my classes.

This has been a lifesaver for me. I teach math in high school and during the coronavirus outbreak, I’ve had to adapt to online teaching via Zoom… This was a real headache as writing complex mathematical formulae with a mouse was a constant struggle. My whiteboard writing is messy at the best of times but when using a mouse the students complained it was illegible! So you can imagine my relief when I discovered this handy piece of kit. The pad itself came with electronic whiteboard software and after a quick set-up I was good to go. I can now write as fast and legibly as on an actual whiteboard and students can once more understand my written explanations. I use Zoom but it supports Google Meet and other platforms, too. There’s no learning curve to speak of, just plug in and use. Brilliant. I’ve recommended it to the other teachers at my school and several have started using it and love it too.

This was easy to install and get configured. The instructions included a link to a website that turned out to be completely in Chinese so that was useless for me. Luckily the link for the software was in English so I was able to download and install it. I think calling it a "Remote" Writing Pad is a little deceptive as it has to be tethered to your computer via a USB cable. It is a writing pad, but not so much remote. It works well once you have it configured and have figured out how to use it and turned off all those "helpful" screens where it tells you what you are doing. I could not click the "Don't Show this Again" box fast enough. The software allows you to capture anything you write as a note and then you can drag and drop that note into other software programs. While creating a note and then dragging it into a program is pretty neat, it is still more complicated than it needs to be for most of my needs. As it turns out I was able to draw directly in Word if I need an illustration and did not need to create a not and drag it into Word or anything like that. Likewise, I was able to use it to make notes and annotations inside my pdf program directly without any need for intermediary software. It has other features such as a group whiteboard or a whiteboard that you can use through the Cloud and share with others. Some are ones I might use and others not so much. The ability to make an illustration in a document and to mark up a pdf are the most important features for me and it does very well at both of those. The reason for the four stars instead of five is because the screen on the pad does not really show the illustration very brightly when using it. You have to look closely and if you have a vision problem then it may not be the best option for you. If you are not in a brightly lit room then you might not be able to see what you are drawing or writing very easy at all. This is a significant issue and I considered taking off two stars because it is so bad, but it does work well in a well-lit office even if it does not in my room at home.

This thing does what it claims. That's about it. It feels cheap, it's cumbersome to use, and the ultimately no one at the office uses it anymore. If you're going to get one get one that has a display.
