ZoomNotes Lite vs Wren

ZoomNotes Lite is an iPad/iPhone visual note-taking app. It lets you quickly make handwritten notes and sketches on virtual paper, on PDF files, on MS Word, Excel and Powerpoint docs (via GoogleDrive), and over images. Uniquely, it also lets you zoom in and out without arbitrary limits, an invaluable feature for this type of app. It has a free fully functioning pen (although you will be able to try the pens too), and more available as in-app purchases. It has unlimited paper sizes/styles, unlimited colours and line thicknesses, and a large range of ways to share its documents making ZoomNotes the most versatile handwriting/drawing app. ZoomNotes Desktop for Mac now also available. ZoomNotes is much more than a replacement for your trusted paper notebook! Compatible with any capacitive stylus pen (although fingers work well too).

Write class notes by hand and pause your pen. Wren's AI reads the page and writes back in ink, right beside your notes: the next step, a graph, a worked solve. On iPad, write with Apple Pencil, pause, and tap Keep. On iPhone or iPad, ask Study Buddy for a graph, steps or a table and tap Add to Note. Most AI answers in a chat window. Wren answers on the page you are already writing on, in its own neat hand. Stuck at 11pm on a problem you can't crack? Write it on your board and pause. Wren's AI writes the answer next to your work: the graph, the steps, the table. No chat window. No copy and paste. Just your notes, filling in. START THE THOUGHT. WREN FINISHES IT. Write half a definition, the first line of a proof or the start of a list, then stop. Wren's AI reads what you wrote and picks up where you left off, in ink, beside your notes. It writes in its own hand, so your notes stay yours. A FRESH PAGE IN ONE TAP Tap + and a fresh page opens, ready to name and write on. Work a problem at the top, sketch a cell below it, and add pages as you go. Want typed work instead? Hold + for a Document. WHAT WREN'S AI CAN WRITE Wren's AI writes with real pen strokes, the same kind of ink you write with. Ask, and it can put any of these on your page: • A few lines of text, like a definition or a short explanation • Step-by-step solves for math and science problems • Graphs of the function you are working on • Tables that line facts up side by side • Timelines, from cell division to the Cold War • Checklists for what to do next • Formulas THREE WAYS TO ASK Pen pause, on iPad. Write what you want with Apple Pencil, like "graph y = x^2 + 1", then pause. A preview appears next to the lines it answers, in the nearest clear space. Drag it where you want it, then tap Keep or Discard. Study Buddy. Open the chat and ask for steps, a graph or a table about the page you are on. Tap Add to Note and the answer is written onto your page in ink. AI Tutor. Pin a Tutor answer you like, then add it to your page. It goes on as ink. YOU DECIDE WHAT STAYS Every pen pause starts as a preview. Tap Keep and it becomes ink on your board. Tap Discard and it is gone. Kept ink is real ink: lasso it, move it, erase it or undo it, just like your own. ONE NIGHT AT THE BOARD 9pm, calculus. You write "graph y = x^2 - 4" and pause. The curve shows up on the board next to your work. 10pm, biology. You ask Study Buddy for the stages of mitosis and tap Add to Note. A timeline is written beside your sketch of the cell. 11pm, physics. You write the first two steps of a projectile problem and pause. Wren's AI writes the next step underneath. Midnight, chemistry. You ask for a table comparing ionic and covalent bonds. It is written in neat rows, right on the board. WRITE ON IPAD OR IPHONE On iPad, Wren works with Apple Pencil, with pressure and palm rejection, and pen pause is there whenever you stop to think. On iPhone, write with your finger and use Study Buddy's Add to Note to bring answers onto your page. Sign in and your notes sync across your devices. WHY WE BUILT IT Wren is made by college students. We take notes every day, and we were tired of copying answers out of a chat window and into our notes. So we made the notes answer back. We are our own users, and Wren is the whiteboard we wanted. Wren is free to download and free to use. Terms of Use: https://www.wrenapp.ai/terms Privacy Policy: https://www.wrenapp.ai/privacy
