In addition to App Store video, there is a longer Introductory video at http://dave256apps.com/redraw reDraw is a full-featured note-taking / presentation app for the iPad. It supports freehand drawing, text entry via a keyboard, pasting images, and importing PDFs that can be marked up using the drawing tools. reDraw was designed for use in a classroom, but is versatile enough to be used as a general purpose drawing or note taking app. A timeline with mark points allows you to step through the text and diagrams you’ve drawn before class, and you can add additional drawings / text based on discussion and questions. You can share your document with other reDraw users or export as PDF. DRAW AND TYPE Create presentations using traditional text, or create hand written presentations using the built in drawing tools. Create drawings using your finger, a stylus, or the Apple Pencil for added precision (full support for Apple Pencil with palm rejection). PRESENT YOUR WAY Connect your iPad to a projector or second screen to share your presentations with a Lightning to HDMI adapter or AirPlay Mirroring. While presenting, you can make live changes to your presentation without exiting presentation mode, making a seamless experience for your audience. TIMELINE AND MARK POINTS The timeline is the backbone of a reDraw presentation. The timeline shows the history for each slide in your document. Set mark points to quickly move to points on the timeline during a presentation. STAY ORGANIZED Organize your reDraw documents in folders within the app. NEED HELP? reDraw includes help within the app to describe how each feature works. Still need help?

Not only do they look more personal than typed ones, but also do they give much for flexibility in presenting complex content, and they are also much more fluently created. This app is the brilliant for creating such lectures. Let me elaborate. Usually when I give a presentation, I first write some handwritten paper notes with the key content and equations I would like to present. Then, I use these notes as a guide for the actual presentation, either on a chalkboard, or typed up for slides. This app removes the second step. You simply write all the stuff you want to talk about directly with the Apple Pencil. This content is usually too dense to present. So what the app allows you is to turn such a dense slide into a step-by-step presentation, simply by defining key frames that one jumps between in presentation mode. Sounds complicated, but is a lot of fun! You can tell that the author of this app uses it for their own teaching, as many things are fine-tuned to typical presentation issues. You can use your finger as a laser pointer. You get a mini-preview of the next step in the presentation. There is a grid to guide your handwriting that you see, but not the students, who also don’t see the interface of the app. It is near perfect. My only issue is that the app exports as bitmap PDF, which tends to be huge, rather than vector PDF (which is the internal format anyway). However, I don’t usually export as PDF, as I present straight from the app. This gives me the opportunity to use the pointer, and to write on the slides in real time as well. It is the ultimate flexibility to present. For me, the real power of this approach shows when presenting lengthy step-by-step calculations. A Tipp-Ex white paint allows me to remove previous steps (think of the sponge in a chalkboard presentation) to simplify the equations and animate the development of the maths in a simple and fun way. It’s difficult to understand the power of this approach before actually playing with it, but I am convinced that this is a great tool for science teachers at school and uni level alike. It might also be interesting in other subjects, but that is not my expertise. ### 3/5 — Good but needs work *2020-05-14* This isn’t really user friendly. I really wanted the recording option and it doesn’t work at all, the button isn’t even clickable. The text option doesn’t retract keyboard. Don’t think made for newest iOS. I even watched the informative video on site. It’s too bad. It has potential. **Developer response:** Thanks for buying reDraw Whiteboard and reviewing it. The app has been updated to work with iOS 13. The record option calls an Apple API to see if recording is supported. Sometimes it says it is not even when the device supports recording. I’ve found exiting that window and using the share sheet option to open the record option again allows it to be enabled. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong (I’ll look into it again) or if it’s a problem on Apple’s end. But trying it once or twice enables it for me. I’m also not certain what the text issue you’re referring to is as I just tried it and don’t see a problem, but perhaps I’m not understanding what you’re referring to. Please email me at reDraw.app@gmail.com and we’ll get it figured out.
