Notepad+ iOS App Review
By Zack, 29 August 2013
Recently, I have been searching for a fully featured note-taking app so that I would be able to jot down any ideas that flashes through my mind. After several hours of searching, I finally found an app which is not only capable of simple note-taking feature like typing down the words but also allows me to draw and write in the app. This is awesome because this app will make sure that I will be able to jot down anything, that includes drawing and taking down any important things.
Notepad+ app offers a selection of virtual writing tools, that includes, typing, which every note-taking app in the app store features, but what is different in this app is that it also includes drawing and writing using your hands or a stylus. Besides you can even choose between 20+ different fonts and type styles with which to display your text. As you type, write or draw on individual sheets of virtual paper, you can use your thumb and index finger to execute a pinch or reverse-pinch motion in order to zoom out or zoom in on your work.
This app also allows you to create and manage multiple virtual notebooks, each of which can have any number of separate pages. Individual notebooks can be named and password protected to insure security.
If you want to share your digital notes with your friends or colleagues, you have the options to share notes via email, Dropbox or even Evernote.
Besides, since this app has the drawing and writing feature, you can create any paper games on your iPad when your inspiration comes and challenge your friends to beat the game.
This app is something that I have never seen before, the developers exactly know what we need.
Here's the features it has,
CREATE

- Get extra templates in the built-in store
EDIT AND PERSONALIZE

- Use the iPad keyboard to type your notes

- Add photos to make your notes more visually appealing

- Adjust a palm rest to prevent marks
SHARE
- Select a format (PDF or image) for better manageability
