I use the app weekly and upload to different "destinations" but I mainly upload right to my personal teams/365 OneNote notebook. From there I can move to other OneNote notebooks and/or sections and I can search my "written" notes which is something I wasn't very successful at with paper based notebooks.
I have both on a clipboard so I can just pick it up and start writing and not have to find room on my desk. I don't have issues with the ink smearing...yeah it takes a few seconds to dry, just don't smudge it. If you turn the page don't turn it completely and squish the page on your table.
I work from home so no issues with not having water to dampen the cloth (or paper towel, tissue) as the bathroom is near by. If you're going to be in class all day then you'll want to plan ahead and ensure you have enough blank pages ahead of time.
Also the pens are just Frixion pens...you can buy them different style/colors. They aren't cheap. I dislike the ones the provide the most.
I like the clickable ones: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pilot-...hbdg=L1100
They feel good, have enough weight to not feel cheap, no cap to lose. They are also refillable...I bought the refills from Amazon before and they came dry (I guess the product doesn't move). You can catch a deal where it's almost as cheap as the refill so it seems like a bother to keep track of where you put them.
I recently bought these: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pilot-...0/55586480
They are much lighter so feel cheap. There's no rubber grip grip as well. They work the same...
The ones that come with the Rocketbook just feels too fat, cheap (very light), no grip, has a cap and they're also expensive. It's like the worse of both worlds.
The pens will fluctuate by price and it's a pain to track too because there's many different packaging sizes, especially on Amazon.
While I think it's a bit much for them to say it's just not good at all due to the dry time, imagine being left handed and trying to take a bunch of notes in a meeting or class quickly. Pausing every few words or trying to write while hovering your hand over the page doesn't work well. It reminds me of 4th grade when they forced everyone to use erasable pens at my school. Ink all over my hand all the time.
Unlike righties, our pinky and side of the hand will always touch the ink pretty fast and ruin the writing. Not to say it's totally useless, and there are different pens that can mitigate the issue some. But it's always a consideration.
Also, for any users, you can just finish scribbling your last words on the page and immediately flip to a new page to continue your notes, because if the text isn't dry it'll smear on the page it touches. Or if you are a frequent opener and closer of your notebooks as you jot notes down.

Pretty good at first but the coating on the pages wears off after erasing them a lot, and then even erasable ink doesn't erase.
