  • Simple is the best

    I’ve been using this wonderful app since it came out. Where other apps changed their apps into oo many details this one stayed simple.I find myself making me-inspiration booklets with images or phrases and words for titles etc.

    You might try typing up captions on a transparent backdrop of vintage paoers. Please, just don't take away the little books like another major app did. And thanks for not making us put them on a silly faux bookcase. I wouldn’t mind a few black covers.

  • I expected better

    Although Wacom’s Bamboo Paper app performs adequately as a standalone handwriting app, its syncing capabilities between platforms (Windows to iOS and vice versa) leave much to be desired. The lack of scaling, zoom, and adjustments creates significant issues, especially since screen sizes differ between devices. This results in writing being cut off the page when viewed on a smaller device, significantly impacting the overall user experience and productivity. Wacom, being a well-established company, could benefit from refining these essential features to enhance cross-platform usability and ensure a more seamless user experience.

  • Awesome app!

    I really like the way it feels just like my old school journals I used to keep through high school and college. Only it’s better because I can add my pictures, and edit my research. Doodle in the extra space, make the paper lined or parchment or stationary. It doesn’t need to be complicated like so many things are these days. I’ve been using it since about 2017 and I love it. Thank you, Wacom!

  • ❌Crashes when trying to open on an iPad Air 1sr gen. Beware ❌

    I hope an update comes soon. I don't have access to all my notes now 🤯

    ===============

    UPDATE: Thank you for the prompt update, Wacom! Bamboo Paper is working fine once again 😉👍
  • Pen selection and Clear page not working!

    Hi. With the latest update, tapping on the pen tools is not working, and eraser doesn’t show ‘clear page’ anymore! A feedback button within the app would be helpful too.
  • Simple but useful

    The app is good for drawing and taking notes. It also has the export feature to make pictures or send your drawings to someone. Sketching is useful for me to learn new things so it is good and I can save pictures of my sketches too, but I haven’t figured out how to zoom in or out if you can even do that.

  • Would be perfect for journaling, if not for one thing.

    I use this app on an iPad with an Apple Pencil. It works pretty good, but the only pet peeve I really have about it is that there is no real palm rejection. I have “only write with Apple Pencil” enabled in my iPad settings, but in this app any touch of the screen will register as drawing/writing so if my hand rests when I’m writing there are stray marks.

  • Update fail

    Every day I get the message to update Bamboo paper but when I click on the link it takes me to the app store and there is not update, it just reopens the app again and asks for the update again in an endless loop, after several months it is a quite annoying.
  • Seems stylus not compatible with 7th generation iPad

    I love it. I like to use it for writing and drawing during my lectures, using my iPad 2 and the Fineline stylus. Recently I purchased a 7th generation iPad and the Fineline stylus doesn’t work very well: the lines are dotted or are absent at all. The same using the erase tool. Pretty random performance. I’m trying to solve hoping that Fineline stylus not being incompatible.

  • works Great for me - IPad Air 2

    Using the iPad Air 2 with the Adonit Dash 3 pen and this app in combination is excellent. Good-writing, palm rejection works great 99% of the time. Otherwise you can buy a cheap handwriting glove if you wish. It works by Bluetooth. Make sure you turn the pen on along with the tablet's Bluetooth. The Adonit Dash3 in combination with Bamboo paper is the best most consistent writing experience on the iPad Air 2 which doesn't support any of the Apple Pencils BTW. There is a new electro pen with a copper pen tip that has just been released. It has potential with Bamboo Paper but could use a bit of fine tuning. That pen is not Bluetooth but palm rejection is a bit more hot or miss.. Bamboo paper is great for writing and journaling which is what I mainly use it for. On the iPad Air 2, I would recommend the Adonit Dash 3 pen to use Bamboo Paper.
