Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Notes
Sure, the handwriting experience in Penbook is best-in-class. And yes, we love how Live Paper puts our Calendar events in an agenda alongside our sketches and scribbles. But what really keeps us coming back is how the app obsesses over customization, from paper and pen types to templates that have completely changed the way we take notes.
Not support pdf files
I can't share the pdf files with this app, it's very important
Developer Response ,
You can export your notebook as a PDF by tapping twice on the notebook’s cover - hope that helps.
