Bamboo Paper 4+

I love bamboo paper and the format. The pens are nice and ic accurately matches my handwriting and works well with my stylus but it’s very sad that I can’t use it much because for school I mainly have to annotate text not write blank notes. This is frustrating for me because I love using bamboo paper but I have to resort to using a sub par app like zoom notes lite which has the features I want ie pdf annotation support and a ruler kit for my math classes. If your using strict blank notes bamboo paper is the best app you will find. I have tested hundreds of apps and this does its job amazingly. I just wish it could support my needs so I can use its great handwriting imitation and feel more often. Also zoom notes lite isn’t bad but compared to bamboo paper everything is subpar.

I was going to return my Logitech Crayon stylus until I found this app. I had tried other journaling/note taking apps and they all disappointed me. A lot are really high powered. PDF support and import audio and videos and export in 3000 formats while multitasking and... holy moly I just want to write yo, what even is this?

Then I found Bamboo Paper. This app just feels nice right from the getgo. I have like 12 physical journals each with a different theme for taking notes. I’m really just trying to consolidate them in one space. And then from there I’m just looking to write. I don’t need any of that high powered whatever. The interface is lovely. I haven’t encountered any of the glitching other people have mentioned. I’ve also only had this a day, but it seems reliable. I tested the backups and they worked. Backups are limited to the Bamboo ecosystem which is technically every platform but not super nice. Some kind of automatic cloud storage or Evernote syncing would be great, but I’d take this over the other apps any day.

Using the iPad Air 2 with the Adonit Dash 3 pen and this app in combination is excellent. Good-writing, palm rejection works great 99% of the time. Otherwise you can buy a cheap handwriting glove if you wish. It works by Bluetooth. Make sure you turn the pen on along with the tablet's Bluetooth. The Adonit Dash3 in combination with Bamboo paper is the best most consistent writing experience on the iPad Air 2 which doesn't support any of the Apple Pencils BTW. There is a new electro pen with a copper pen tip that has just been released. It has potential with Bamboo Paper but could use a bit of fine tuning. That pen is not Bluetooth but palm rejection is a bit more hot or miss.. Bamboo paper is great for writing and journaling which is what I mainly use it for. On the iPad Air 2, I would recommend the Adonit Dash 3 pen to use Bamboo Paper.
