Should just re name it ### 1/5 — Pointless *2010-11-27, version 0* Even though it's free it's a complete was of time to even download. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2013-07-05* What is the point?! ### 1/5 — Yuck *2013-05-06, version 1.0* That camera idea is really bad. You can hardly read your notes. I downloaded it and deleted it within 60 seconds ### 1/5 — Garbage *2012-11-13* Dont work on iphone5 ### 1/5 — I don't get it *2012-07-16, version 1.0* Yeah, it has a dvorak keyboard, but the buttons are so small, there's no space bar, and you have to copy text to the clipboard. Capitalization is difficult. Also why is there a camera screen in the background and camera controls on the main screen? Then I have to hit an American flag button to get to the typing part. It makes no sense at all. ### 1/5 — Lame *2011-09-16, version 1.0* I don't see the point of using the camera as a background. You can't turn it off, either. I think more time should have been spent designing the actual keyboard than worrying about integrating the camera into a NOTEPAD app. It doesn't make any sense, whatsoever. ### 1/5 — A waste *2011-08-18, version 1.0* I should have read all these reviews. A camera doesn't exist!!! I threw out a dollar. Dont you!! ### 1/5 — The most useless app *2011-08-03, version 1.0* It is not worthy of the time you spend downloading it. ### 1/5 — :( *2011-05-28* I don't get it. ### 1/5 — No camera support. *2011-05-05, version 1.0* This app can't use the camera like they say and you can't change the background. I wouldn't bother downloading this. ### 1/5 — Don't get this app *2011-02-10* It doesn't work; crashes as soon as you open it. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 4/5 — Ppp *2013-04-21* Pretty good :) ### 3/5 — Dvorak users will find this useful *2011-05-30, version 1.0* If you prefer a Dvorak keyboard, then for the iPad it appears that this is your only free option. I found the divided keyboard too small and weird initially, before I discovered that you can easily scale the size of the keyboard up and down to suit your needs. As far as functionality, this has keyboard options that I wish were built-in to the iPad. That said as a writing app, this leaves a bit to be desired. the background and font are distracting and not particularly attractive, though that's subjective, and may not bother some. I wouldn't try writing a novel; stick to short notes. If you don't need Dvorak or a custom keyboard, I don't think I'd bother. ### 2/5 — Ugly *2014-07-01* Sorry, no other word describes this. Ugly ### 2/5 — A nice start *2011-02-22, version 1.0* This app's heart is ion the right place, but it needs a lot of work. The idea of splitting the keyboard to the two sides of the screen, so you can type with your thumbs is good, but they are still to far to reach on an iPad. Being able to change the font and background would be nice, as would being able to change the key arrangements of the full screen keyboard. Also, the cursor disappears when the custom keyboard is brought up. It will be interesting to see how this app turns out once the developer has spent more time on it ### 2/5 — Nothing Special *2010-11-28, version 0* It takes notes. You can't change the background or font. If all you want to do is type and don't care what the background looks like, this would be good for you. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
