Viwoods AiPaper Mini

The actual device is good, the cost is great, but there is definitely room for improvement.

I’m also happy with the size of the mini, but am intrigued to see what the full sized viwoods looks like and acts like if it has better screen and hardware specs.

The task taking / Daily capabilities feel like they were designed by someone with an unusual approach to task management. It would benefit hugely from a system wide way of collating tasks and then either being day/time specific, or, just a list of tasks. Because of how Daily works, I’ve ended up just using a Paper note for my tasks.

Memo feels like it could be a useful feature, but it *needs* better system-wide access. It just isn’t visible enough (Home Screen etc..) to be useful.

The device can be too sluggish at times, and seems to sometimes miss taps. It is hard to tell if the device missed the tap, or the software is busy processing something else.

The shape recognition feature doesn’t work according to the manual - you can’t draw arrows or make uniform shapes.

Getting data onto the device is both clear and confusing - I’ve found it better to just use CxExplorer app from GooglePlayStore (and then use SMB to my laptop) along with Tailscale. But, I’m pretty technical so this is easy for me to understand. The stock experience is confusing if you want to load files outside of those supported.

And lots of other little bits.

Overall I’m very happy, and hopefully the things mentioned above are all fixable in software. And, it seems like Viwoods is doing frequent software updates, so I’m excited to see progress.

Getting close to the ideal product. Very useable in a corporate/business context with the ability to link Outlook/Google mail, OneNote etc.
2 things I'd love to see ASAP
- The ability to change around the home page screen. While the Viwood apps are ok, I much prefer OneNote, Outlook etc for work productivity and connection to my extended ecosystem. I'd like to have those apps front and center.
- PLEASE can you separate the To-Do from the calendar. I get your reasoning for not being able to automatically carry forward tasks. However, I suspect the need to do so, is very common. Can To-Dos exist as a separate app that is easy to get to and is not tied to a date?
Looking forward to the evolution and hopefully colour, Mobile Data, Teams/Slack etc integration.

I received mine a few days ago. There was some initial ghosting but manually refreshing solved it thankfully.

Amazing replacement for both my paper notebook and my kindle with a stylish design

I've been using my AiPaper Mini for a few months now. It's not flawless, but works very nicely for reading & writing, and is quite usable with the Android apps I use. The software updates have been useful, and I look forward to seeing how this continues to improve.
