Abandoned

This app has been abandoned by the developers for 2 years. No updates, no nothing. Badly in need of updating. What’s up, Bamboo?

Still the best after 15 years!

It does exactly what it should do and nothing more. Simple elegant fast and clean note pad for Apple Pencil or wacoms stylus. Cannot beat it!

PLEASE ADD PALM REJECTION

I love the app and writing feel is different from any app that's out there. But it's very annoying that it doesn't have a palm rejection. I request you to please add.

Great note taking app

I like the integration with the Dropbox and other storage devices. Writing is simple and I am glad it’s still around.
