Notepad+ Note taking, Drawing, Sketching, Doodling & Writing for iPad app review: the only handwriting app you'll ever need

Reviews

Introduction

Touted as being the only handwriting app you’ll ever need, this awesome utility for iPad provides a wide variety of tools that you can use to create stylized handwritten or typed notes, as well as sketches and other creative outlets.

I really like the idea of enabling people to work ‘freehand’ on their iPad, and of course the larger screen combined with a stylus makes for some very enjoyable doodling. Even if you don’t have a stylus I think you’ll still find this app incredibly useful.

Notepad+ can be used for everything from recording minutes from a business meeting to jotting down ideas for that killer new song you’re writing, so whatever your pursuit you’re almost sure to find a purpose for it.

There is a selection of ink pens and highlighters to choose from, all available in a range of different colors to produce a more accurate handwriting and doodling experience, but you can also type your notes if required. Either way, images can be attached to enhance the overall presentation.

There are also some different styles of paper to choose from, ranging from yellow ruled to plain white, so you can easily distinguish between your sketches, journal entries, meeting notes, and so on.
