Fly Fusion Journal November 19, 2008
A. Randol (Colorado)
This is a typical notebook, although you need it's special paper for the Fly Fusion to work. For the price it could perhaps have another hundred pages, but otherwise it's a good solid notebook. Good binding, thick cover, has the Fly Fusion controls on the cover.
 Could not get it to work ... May 20, 2008

I bought the Journal along with the pen and an extra notebook. The Journal software won't load on my pen. I tried taking other applications on and off the pen, and that was easy. I did not get the memory expansion module.
Anyways, I cannot use this software on my pen, and so it is useless.
 Another Adult Fly User February 9, 2008
Deborah A. Reid (San Antonio, TX United States)
I too am an adult user of the FLY Fusion Pentop Computer. This Journal is a terrific tool! Compact and not as cumbersome as the notebooks which are more appropriate for school or work note-taking. I have no problems carrying around this lovely journal.
Points to note: If you want to write cursive and have it translated into text, you need to make SURE your lower loops from a line above do not intersect with the upper loops from a line below! This tends to make nonsense when translating to text. Also my smiley face became "Qvoogoegoaooodofloj" which is probably a good name for the face I drew. :)
Great hints for writers block too! This journal is a must have for Journal writers and users of the Fly Fusion Pentop Computer!

My Son Loves the Fly Fusion Pen January 14, 2008
Faithful Shopper (Ct)
My son had the Fly Pen and has his own laptop so when the Fly Fusion came out he continually asked for it. He got it for Christmas and writes in the journal and notebook, and loves the translation piece (although it took him awhile to write the letters clear enough to translate as he is a lefty). It's nice to see him this involved in something that's not a video game. The Fly Fusion pen and products are extremely educational.
Much better than the original! Pretty journal and nice software. December 28, 2007

Seeing as I wrote a review for the original Fly journal I wanted to do one for the new Fly Fusion journal. I was extremely pleased to discover that the new journal is a much better product than the old.
The journal itself is very nice, the sort you would expect to find in a bookstore in the nice blank notebooks section. It is hardcover with an elastic strap to hold it closed when you aren't using it. The entire thing is filled with interactive Fly paper so you can write in your journal and then upload to your computer (a HUGE improvement over the original with just that) in changing colors. The cover is blue and green with red metallic birds. Built into the journal is a sheet with categories for writing prompts that you can tap. There is a wide variety of these with some good ideas if you're into those. Obviously they are geared more toward a younger audience, but would be an excellent educational tool for writing and journal-keeping for kids. The ability to encode your writing using the Fly pen is also back and works nicely.
The journal is still geared towards girls but this new one is /much/ less overpoweringly girl-oriented compared to the first. Almost all of the writing prompts work for boys now too: Money, Friends, Music, Books, etc. The possible exceptions are Love Struck and Crush being more stereotypically girl-journal specific. The prompts are much more interactive now, sometimes asking yes and no questions before getting to the final question to write about.
I am an adult with a Fly pen and find this journal much more convenient for carrying around than one of the large notebooks of Fly paper. Leapfrog even sells replacement journals so you don't have to buy the software again to get another. It is also the sort of journal I would have purchased if I saw it in a store, Fly pen related or not. Congrats to Leapfrog for improving this product so much!
