Pros: High quality, Durable, voice activation works great
Cons: a little bulky
The My Password Journal has worked great and I am really impressed. We had read other reviews and knew that it was best to record the password in a quiet room and so that is what we did. It worked great and when someone else in our family tried, it give the message that we set for intruders. We found it to work pretty consistently. The fun part is that the message to intruders can be whatever you want it to be. So for my kids and their friends, it's fun to keep changing this message. Also, even when another person says the correct password, it doesn't work. My kids all tried this and were frustrated they could not break into the journal. The My Password Journal recognizes the voice as well as the word. Very cool! The messages and password can be changed really easily. The instructions provided are easy to use and understand.
This really looks different than a lot of other journals. The outside is a hard plastic case that is bright pink and purple with flower. When you open the inside, there is a small notepad and pen that sits inside the outer plastic case. The pen is an invisible ink pen. The notepad is small but in a way this is almost good for someone just starting to journal. It's not so overwhelming to fell like you have to fill up a page. Inside the case are several other things. There is a Glow and Show light so that you can see the invisible ink words on the page. There is also a secret storage compartment. This is really fun. My kids have always loved toys that have somewhere they can hide their small favorite items they feel like are of "value". It is a little bulky for carrying around.
The My Journal Password is definitely a toy and that is what I assumed when I heard about it and saw it. I knew it wasn't meant for a teenager or adult. This is really great for young children but even preteens will love it. I am really impressed with it.
