Great product overall. It's definitely overpriced, but does what it claims. Navigating the device to create new documents, etc. is clunky and not the most user-friendly, but it's functional.
I was mistakenly sent an item I didn't order in place of one I did, but the company handled it quickly and sent me a return shipping label with the correct item I ordered after contacting them.

I’ve been a Freewrite user for years, and the BYOK has just replaced my Freewrite Traveler (which I’m now selling). It does exactly what I need it to do, and nothing else. It’s almost perfect.
I love everything about the BYOK…except a couple of tiny details, which aren’t deal-breakers:
I’d like a running word count for files—maybe for projects too. Maybe there is or will be a script for that.
The case could be tougher. It’s showing marks and wearing from the magnetic stand and from light use. No big deal, but if you made one with an aluminum body instead of plastic, I’d buy it today.

This product basically doesn't function, which is surprising considering it meant for one thing... writing. It supports two document types, .txt and .docx. I've tried both formats and once you are beyond around 30 pages of text, its basically unusable because of the input lag. I imported a .docx file of a book in working on and it just crashes eveytime I try typing a letter and when it reboots, it will load my documents plus that letter. It's as if the device is trying to reload the whole document each time something is typed. Support has been very unhelpful. I let them know the issue and they told me it's because I was using .docx instead of .txt (if they don't support that file type, why is it one of the two types it will let you upload?) I converted my work into a .txt and I got the same result all though it preformed slightly on my short storys (30ish pages) but still a major input lag.
