Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism Durability: Fun: Educational: 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!
