As an university student who takes note with iPad.This look promising -vector drawing-PDF annotation-Web clipping I would like to see an docs shelf and maybe performance tweak would be great. Using status bar empty space for naming to notes is cool too. ***** Great user experience by Proteusca - Version 1.0.2 - Aug 15, 2013 A powerful design tool. It is very useful to record and share everyday's ideas in a friendly user interface. Collaborative editing is enabled, just like google doc, but it provides more editing tools. Hope in future it can supply specialized libraries and templates for different design purposes, such as floor planning, URL planning, network deployment, etc. -------------------------------------------------------------- [Characters] --Infinite-- Infinite length layout can let your imagination to the limit. --High-definition-- Unlimited zoom in vector text and graphics without distortion, more in line with Retina display effect. --Collaborating plus sharing-- Powerful and easy-to-use features support real-time and off-line teamwork and files sharing. --Local plus cloud-- Supported by the local cache and cloud storage, MolaSync can be used offline, and synchronized automatically.
