No longer reliable
This app was ok originally. For the last few months (probably since the last update), it has been hopelessly unreliable. It crashes frequently and randomly, it fails to save notes Iโve made, it sometimes saves the same page identically several times, and it often fails to detect the bamboo notepad at all. This is completely unacceptable, and I would not recommend this company or any of their products. It is obvious that they have no commitment to supporting customers to maintain product quality. So disappointing.

Poor
I agree with previous reviewer. I am writing notes on Bamboo Paper app on surface and there is no way on the app to revisit these same notes on my phone at all. Terrible
Wish it would work with my Wacom Intuos pro
As the title suggests I was expecting this app to work with my Wacom intuos pro like the app suggested but it wonโt connect with it. Might connect with other Wacom products but I hope the app would of work for my tablet like I wanted to since my computer died and I wanted to make digital art again with my tablet.

Great for writing
I spend all day at work on a computer. When I want to write, the thought of spending even more time at the keyboard is not appealing at all. Increased risk of repetitive motion injuries is also a concern.
Writing in a notebook has been my alternative but that comes with its own issues - mainly transcribing my hand written notes onto a computer which is tedious and kind of defeats the purpose of hand writing in the first place.
So I bought a Bamboo Slate. I hand write on the Slate and the use this app to transform my handwritting into editable text. I then export text into a note in the Notes app on my phone. Inkspace lets me export new pages to an existing note so itโs easy to keep pages in order.
Inkspace does a good job of translating my handwriting into text. It is teaching me to be a little more careful - dotting my iโs etc. I canโt fault the app for errors where my handwritting would give a human reader trouble.
I sync to my phone after every page and it has worked flawlessly so far.
My one minor issue is that the editable text has a return at the end of each written line. So a little additional clean up required to get returns only at the end of paragraphs. It would be helpful if I could enable a mode where text was translated without returns unless I wrote a paragraph symbol - or something like that. Or just treat the page as a single line of text; it would be easier to add 2 or 3 returns than deleting a lot of extraneous returns. Iโd give the app 5 stars with that feature.
So Bamboo Slate letโs me write my initial draft without typing and then easily convert it to editable text for further editing and archiving.
