Absolute Board 4+

Love this app. It has place all previous note- taking apps because it is very simple and straightforward. I have it always in my front app page because it is so useful to take notes.

What it needs. To be able to receive a "paste" from a text "copy". This could be really useful when you are reading something and want to save part of that information for later reference.

Then it could be a "5"

I have been using this for years and love it. It's already perfect but a few features could make it even more so: the ability to select and move part of a drawing, the ability to export as PDF. Even without these, it is a winner.

2018. The new version has an ad, discretely placed. It appears when you touch the document storage button. It is not offensive, but I would surely pay for an ad-free version of the app.

I absolutely loved this app while drawing out an enormous mind map. I even ignored all of the little flaws, while using the Apple Pencil, such as still having palm marks everywhere (a problem you'd expect on an iPad app from 2012. The problem came when I went to export it. Insanely awful. It will only export what it can see on the screen (did I mention my mind map was huge) and it exports it in a very low quality, illegible, un-zoomable, image. Very upset. I wasted hours brainstorming our new Corporate direction--and now have to draft the whole thing over again. Argh! What a waste of valuable time and focused brain energy.
