Hey everyone. I have an old Gen 2 Freewrite and suddenly it can't connect to the internet. It can connect to wifi, but I'm getting the "Unable to connect." I contacted the company, but they say they can't do anything. (No parts?). I tried resetting, other wifis, ​prayer and threats and nothing worked.
Anyone find a way out of this? I used this thing to write my first book, and I use it to write short things still. It's sentimental to me to keep it running, and swapping around a usb cable would be a pain. (Especially since there's no way to delete drafts).

I’m curious to know if anyone uses their Freewrite for purposes other than drafting books?

I’m having errors with anything regarding wifi syncing / account log in on devices, and on desktop I can’t log in to the website. What’s going on??? Just making sure it’s not just me. Is anyone else having an issue with this right now?

I am a holder of Gen 2, and mine loses data on a regular basis.

I heard from Astrohaus that the issue has been fixed with Gen 3, and given they updated the software, I'm hoping that this is truly the case.

So any Gen 3 user with data loss experiences? I am genuinely curious as Freewrite is still the gold standard of writerdecks when it comes to hardware aesthetics.

Feel free to comment if you never experienced any data loss with heavy use of the device. (maybe 50k words?)

Thanks in advance.

Thinking about selling my mint freewrite. Literally used it once and its been safely back in the box since. Looking to get 800 obo (i know, you can buy a new one, but it won't be mint lol). Just wanted to see if anyone would be interested. I can send pictures when I get home from work in a few hours.

I love the felt bag, but felt is like Velcro for pet hair. Does anyone have recommendations for a bag or case that works for you that you’d be comfortable telling me about?
