Great App

This is great app for doing math homework without wasting a bunch of paper. My only suggestion is to allow setting the size of the eraser so it is more precise. I often need to erase one number and end up erasing more. Thankful for the undo feature.

Best Note-Taking App

I love writing notes, but pen and paper just isn't feasible in the modern classroom. Loose Leaf is the notepad I've been looking for, and it has all the features I need to take all my notebooks with me in the simple, easy, lightweight format of my iPad. Thank you!

Great open source note taking app!

I was happy to see an open source note taking app, as that’s one of the largest use cases for my iPad, and didn’t want to use something closed source for a bulk of work or jotting down thoughts. I’m only giving it four stars as I see two features that could really help this app: have a RGB color selector for the pencil, similar to iOS markup on PDFs and images; and utilize a PDF as a paper template. To expand on the second feature: I imported an inverted college-ruled paper (with a black background) for night time writing. I saved it as a notebook but to have it as a template would be easier to duplicate. Also, that’s where the custom pen color option came from, as white isn’t available as a preset (for understandable reasons).

Bleh

Not the best, not the worst.

1. Does not rotate when you switch from portrait to landscape views
2. Cannot insert text box to type
3. The sidebar makes it a little tricky to write in the far left of the page.
4. There should also be an option to crop pictures in a square/rectangle instead of drawing it out.

Perfect!

Absolutely what I was looking for. Simple but ultra functional for my purposes. I can choose whatever paper I like to make what ever book/notes/lists etc I want by hand. It’s like having a never ending supply of paper and a bin, and I get to keep and chuck out whatever I want. Thanks so much! A big thumbs up from me!
