Absolutely Amazing

This program has surprised me after using it to draw calligraphy. The elegance of a deceptively simple yet brilliant interface leaves me hoping it will be available for years to come!! Thank you for inspiring me!

Additional editing tools

Dear All,
It has been a while since expressing my positive views about this apps, and now I can see the additional colouring tools added. I must say that it has improved the apps, but it would great to add highlighting certain parts of a draw and copy and paste tools. Adding that would really make work like mine using your apps much better.

I wish you all the success.
Kind regards Al

Essential

It's awesomely simple. Keep downloading it out over the years because no other apps do what this one does so well

Fun little app

Originally tried out of curiosity... The fact that it is based on software from the 80s tickled my retro fancy. The dynamics do a great job smoothing out my handwriting. I wish some of the dedicated notebook apps on iOS made use of this.

Fun to do loose sketches with higher spring, lower weight settings.

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the lack of ink color.. I'm nitpicking though.

Definitely worth grabbing.

Great Calligraphy Practice App

The best practice board to work on my calligraphy. It's also a fun app to just doodle on while waiting in line or waiting for an appointment. Very fun for all ages. It's easy to adjust how you want your ink line to perform. Best app available for practicing your letters and numbers.
