some big changes are coming to remarkable today we're going to overview what remarkable notes are
some of the pricing changes and what to expect with the future of this device so I have been a
remarkable user for some time now I just love the format of it the offline productivity experience
and I think it's growing in popularity more recently we've seen Kindle release something
called scribe which is a good indicator that other applications like Kobo and Amazon are
actually going for this Market as a potential for growth in the space so basically remarkable have
announced some big changes to their ecosystem the first being notes and you're thinking whoa notes
are already available and remarkable well they are on the tablets in the new connect version
coming soon they're going to add the ability to create notes on whatever device you're going
to be on so whether that's on the desktop you can start writing notes alongside some of your
physically hand written notes on the remarkable Tablet already and or be able to add them on the
go using your mobile device so believe they're rolling out the desktop version much sooner than
they're rolling out the mobile version but this new update really shows that they're investing
more in the generalized experience of using remarkable versus forcing you down the tunnel of
using the tablet which is an interesting addition to the lineup now the pricing is changing at the
same time they're introducing a improved or more streamlined connect experience so for those who
have already bought remarkable the first version and second version you may know already that you
get the connect for free anyway the previous price was 7.99 which I in my opinion is a little bit
High however you'll get that for free version if you already have those devices but new and
existing users who want to bump up to connect will get it for 2.99 a month which is fairly reasonable
actually in terms of generalized pricing it's actually a little bit more than say Google's um
sort of uh basic gigabyte storage price in Google one I believe they call it but not too expensive
that sort of breaks the bank in in some extent and that gives you a limited cloud storage remarkable
to protection plan which I'll talk about later in this video exclusives offers and discounts and
that mobile and desktop note taking that is coming soon in the future now in terms of a lineup that's
a pretty good Improvement that's a 60 reduction in the pricing which is typically the other way we
normally get it where companies tend to go bump and bump the price up because of factors like
inflation and things like that and just other cost factors that that come into play but it
looks like a remarkable they've actually gone the other way and looking to grow the ecosystem I can
imagine their approach to connect being more of a desktop and mobile Note Taker that doesn't require
the tablet gives more opportunity for people that don't have a remarkable tablet to still use the
core experience on desktop and mobile being its own note-taking application so you could still
this is an assumption that you would still be able to sign up to remarkable connect but still
use it without the tablet and eventually upgrade to the tablet probably being their business model
which is quite a good one and that's probably why they're reducing the price quite dramatically now
if you didn't have connect they're just continuing their sort of saying that you're only able to use
files used and synced online for the last 50 days the rest of it will be stored locally using the
device storage and plan that you're on existing so quite interesting that they're sort of been very
much sort of fixed on this plan so obviously the pricing reduced they have mentioned this protect
plan for the remarkable two which apparently gives you extra peace of mind and experiencing
defects and accidental damage with the device and they'll replace it that aren't caused by
accidental damage or similar external factors and they'll replace it for free and the plan covers
devices up to three years old providing additional coverage and trickling the length of the one-year
limited warranty so include the full information in terms on the support page but I actually had a
few messages over the last couple of months with people concerned about that plan actually working
and I had some news back from a remarkable team that said due to their development speed of how
fast they're growing they've found it difficult to be able to keep track of that but at the same
time they are aware of the support and also they are working on I believe they're saying customer
satisfaction surveys to keep people happy with their experience so that's what they've said
to me but obviously I'm aware that some people have had difficulty but I think the full terms
and the revised protection plan obviously changed so if you're somebody that may have
that existing problem I'd recommend checking out what that entails there with any issues
that you'll currently having so in terms of the coming soon they've said it's the new generation
of software and what they're doing is rolling out this major expansion in the software so
the note taking they're saying that the desktop note taking will land later this fall and also
followed by the mobile editing early in 2023. now they're looking to continue to revise the
way that they combine handwritten documents and typed documents to make that experience better
and they're also working on infinite scrolling within pages so that you can sort of extend your
canvas instead of having to swipe across to an X page which is something that I've definitely found
to be a little bit of a painful experience in the used version they're also improving handwritten
conversion to improve the text capabilities and converting that from handwritten to typed text
so folks remarkable doing some interesting stuff in the background especially becoming a bit of
a player in the note-taking space I reckon the next two years we'll see remarkable up against
many of the other popular applications like the likes of goodnotes and notability as a sort of
typed combination note-taking experience and for those who are using remarkable huge bonuses
price reduction also an improved experience for synchronous seamless device use and just generally
an awareness of what's coming next for remarkable anyway folks thank you so much if you're new here
and you're like watching this and you may have got to the point where you're like what is a
remarkable I've done reviews on it as a reason myself I really do love the experience this
video isn't sponsored isn't even commissioned by them whatever I just um like to keep updated
remarkable and sort of keep the announcements pretty close and I know a lot of people who
follow the channel here have followed through my own remarkable use so thank you very much folks I
look forward to seeing you please do subscribe and I'll see you in a future video cheerio
