Leave a Review Bamboo Paper
Not bad for a free app
Pretty decent app compared to Notability. Not quite as many features as Notability has, but this being a free app I think it’s still pretty decent. The app does have a bit of an issue writing with your palm when using Apple Pencil, so my notes end up freckled with unintentional marks from my palm. Other than that it works well.Show lessRosielove13
Can’t download tools/ packs
I was able to get a few items to diversify textures but it has a lot of features that are being rendered useless because they wont download. I am hoping they fix it and add a few photograph processing features to let you make collages and stuff. I am giving this 3 stars only because of my personal experience but I do think 4.3 after their refreshShow lesshavdaironman
It’s what Bamboo Paper doesn’t do that makes it special
I was going to return my Logitech Crayon stylus until I found this app. I had tried other journaling/note taking apps and they all disappointed me. A lot are really high powered. PDF support and import audio and videos and export in 3000 formats while multitasking and... holy moly I just want to write yo, what even is this?
Then I found Bamboo Paper. This app just feels nice right from the getgo. I have like 12 physical journals each with a different theme for taking notes. I’m really just trying to consolidate them in one space. And then from there I’m just looking to write. I don’t need any of that high powered whatever. The interface is lovely. I haven’t encountered any of the glitching other people have mentioned. I’ve also only had this a day, but it seems reliable. I tested the backups and they worked. Backups are limited to the Bamboo ecosystem which is technically every platform but not super nice. Some kind of automatic cloud storage or Evernote syncing would be great, but I’d take this over the other apps any day.Show lesssmart now
It’s a perfect sketchbook app
I use Procreate if I need a ton of features. I actually stopped using my story boarding app because this was just easier to use with less features. It works great with Apple Pencil, but I might just be easy to please. 5 stars, works as expected.Robert Louis
Loved this app from the beginning
I’ve been using this wonderful and elegantly simple app for projects, image inspiration and goofy collections of titles etc. it was always workable with different stylizes but I’m glad the Pencil works best. I love the look it has of an analogue notebook. And while type is tempting try using the “workarounds” you would use in a paper notebook. TYPE UP captions and take a picture of them save to photos
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. Although I wouldn’t sAy no to a gridShow lessGhostmoth
Awesome!
I love being able to keep journals by category. I have a gardening book, recipe book, home improvement book, etc. I used to cut out ideas and recipes, now I can just grab a screen capture and put it into the book. Then I can add notes to the idea. I never lose those cuttings now!Mercedes97123
Good app but needs textboxes
Overall this is a great app but it really needs textboxes. One thing the devs can do is make the app support the scribble feature. The scribble feature is something that recognizes when you write handwritten things and it converts it into text automatically. I personally need this because I don’t have that good of handwriting but I’m sure other people can have many more reasons to want this.Show lessYOU WILL NEVER KNOW!!!!!!!!!!
One of my favorite apps for writing
Hands down this is one of my most used apps. I use it everyday for all most all of my note taking. The only thing! Don't do much in this app is draw but I do sketch layouts. Some of the adjustments for the different writing utensils seem a little light but they are still workable. I usually find my happy spot right in the middle with the second option. The one thing I wish was different is that you have the option to show all of your note books in a grid instead of just a roll, however, that is just a minor complaint. That may someday change so still get 5 stars from me.Show lessbest holiday ever
Amazing App! Needs 1 more feature
I love this app because of the compatibility with my stylus (fineline 2) but I wish I could import PDFs into the app to annotate on, and not just images.
Edit: I now have an IPad Air 4, and an Apple Pencil. Bamboo paper still works great, but is not optimized for the newer iPad’s screen. There are empty spaces on either side of the screen when using it in landscape, but the experience is still the same.Show lessnxf2006
Great App
This app is great yet the only problem is writing horizontally. Writing turns into a hassle when in this mode. Everything else is great. You can lock notebook and there are tons in notebooks andespecially utensils to pick from that enhance you note tacking or even drawing ability.fromda
