не такая удобная

лучше чем встроенная функция в ipad , но не идеально много, что можно улучшить. Пользовалась похожей системой у Самсунг на планшете у них в разы удобнее.

Response from developer

Astounding!

Best handwriting keyboard -- not only iPadOS, better than anything on my Android and Windows tablets. Better than native Scribble. It is so customizable and works like I work/write. I doesn't get any better!

Saved my life! And my iPhone!

This app is the best thing that happened to me during the last 20 years of my life! Throughout these many years, I never felt comfortable writing with my fingers on screen keyboards. I always missed the Jot experience with a stylus on my Palm device. Finally I found a stylus that worked on the iPhone screen, which was a difficult task. Finding a handwriting recognition keyboard that works on all apps on iPhone was the next step. I’m so happy I ran into this one! And it seems to be the only one on the App Store. Now I can write my messages, notes, even calendar entries with my stylus, like writing by hand on paper! It is faster and more pleasant for me than the screen keyboard. I can even write all letters one over the other on the same location on the screen, just like Jot. For a multilingual person like me, it’s lovely that it supports many languages.

There are a few drawbacks, which, if corrected, would make a perfect app, especially in advance of the coming folding iPhone:
1. It requires internet connection; it’s not an offline app.
2. It doesn’t support predictive text; you have to finish the word to the last letter.
3. Although you can use the whole writing surface for each letter and write every letter one over the other on this same surface (just like Jot), the previous letters don’t disappear, and the canvas becomes black after a while. There should be the option for automatically erasing previous letters for people who are writing that way.

It’s now working for me, but these improvements would be very much appreciated.

Excellent

I love it!

Don’t understand app

After I picked my language I tried to start writing but it wouldn’t let me so I deleted the app and then reinstalled but it wouldn’t load so I couldn’t write also I search for free apps but it made me pay so I got very annoyed with that

Response from developer

If you encounter difficulties in enabling the app, please refer to the tutorial video provided within the app. Additionally, the keyboard service we offer incurs infrastructure and other expenses, which is why we provide upgrade plans to cover these costs.
