## What is Handwritten notes?

//Explanation

It is an ordinary memo pad App without advanced functions like the note App.
We have prepared sketch shapes and frames so that you can concentrate on your thoughts.
 It corresponds to PencilKit and has only the minimum required functions, so it can be handled intuitively.
The functions common to the Draw App have been made easier to understand with text notation without icons that are difficult to understand.
The save destination is either in the app or the camera roll.
The pattern of the shape “Shapes” currently available is as follows.

"Grid_A"
"Grid_B"
"Script"
"Japanese"
"Continent"
"Country"
"Prefectures" 
"Japaneseislands"
"Chronology"
"Ocean"
"Graph"
"Shapes"
"Polygon"
"Solidfigure"
"Number" 
"Law" 
"Science"
"Animalcule"
"Astronomy"
"Staff_notation"
"Instrument"
"Color" 
"Sketch" 
"Human"
"Ground"
"Electrical"
"PC"
"Alphabet" 
"Moral"
"Boardgames"
"365days"
"Letter"


I prepared it especially for students.
There are no distracting ads and no onerous billing.
On the iPad, you can take notes by opening this application for half while opening the net browser on two screens and half.
I think that it will be easier for ideas to come out if there is a chance to write something than to devise it from scratch.
I will add a sketch little by little.
 Please take advantage of it.
In addition, since ApplePencil cannot be used with iPhone, only finger input is possible. We strongly recommend its use on iPad.

考え事に集中できるように下絵となる形状や枠などを用意しました。PencilKitに対応させて、必要最低限の機能だけにしてあるので直感的にあつかえます。
Drawアプリによくある機能が分かりにくいアイコンも無く文字表記で分かりやすくしました。
保存先はアプリ内か、カメラロールのどちらかです。

だけです。特に学生さん向きに用意してみました。
気が散るような広告はありませんし、煩わしい課金もありません。
iPadでは２画面にして半分はネットブラウザを開きながら、半分は本アプリを開いてメモが取れます。
まったくのゼロから考案するよりも何か筆を走らせるきっかけがあるとアイデアも湧きやすくなると思います。ぜひ活用してみてください。
なお、iphoneではApplePencilが使用できなため指入力しかできません。強くiPadでの使用をお勧めします。
