User reviews

Ever waiting

This writes nice and is good. But, I deleted it because it locks up when you save something. The only way to stop it is to turn off iPad and back on.

Some great ideas here โ€“

Handwriting is very smooth but I couldn't find a way to name my files myself in the non-upgraded version?

Is probably my fault but I didn't find it easy to do.

Decent

App is ok for quick notes on phone. Wouldn't recommend for use on iPad
It would be nice if a default ink color could be set, otherwise it does the job well

Needs Work

This is a decent app but definitively needs some improvement.

First off, that control area at the bottom of the screen needs to go. It effectively eliminates the ability to use almost a quarter of the page space because I can't write in that area without the control panel popping up. Eliminate that and let the user hit done when they're finished writing.

Second, there needs to be an undo function. Currently there is no way to undo anything let alone a stroke by stroke undo.

Third, a way to customise the brush and pen sizes would be great but that's a total nice to have.

All-in-all, it's a decent app; it just needs a few tweaks to make it a great app.

Writing is not aligned with finger tip

This looked a nice app to take handwritten notes. However, the writing appears about 6 cm below my finger on the new iPad! Quite weird. Works fine on iPhone 4.
