Description

Now also available for iPhone!

Zoomed ink, PDF markup, photos, shapes, typed text, folders and tagging, extensive AirPlay control, and much more.

The latest upgrade of one of the first note taking apps designed specifically for the Apple iPad and now also available for the Apple iPhone, Note Taker HD has long been known as a powerful and stable application for writing and organizing handwritten notes and diagrams.

Note Taker HD can also be used to annotate PDF files. It can shrink your writing so you can easily fit a lot of text on a page. You can read the reduced-size "ink" as if you had written those letters with a very fine pen. It gives you solid functionality and control to produce the pages you need.

Documents are flexibly organized by tags, date/time last modified, favorites, and more, with a scrolling list of thumbnail images of part of each page to help you find them later. You can email one or more pages as a single PDF file, "Open In" other apps, or, if your device supports it, print.

Note Taker HD lets you create pages by writing on the screen with your finger or an iPad/iPhone-compatible stylus. You can either write directly on the page for large drawings, or have the "ink" you write shrunk down. You can write in large letters on the screen rather than trying to make tiny motions like a pencil. You just keep writing and Note Taker HD automatically adds new writing next to the old. To quickly correct mistakes, it has multi-level undo and redo buttons as well as an eraser -- just drag your finger over the page to erase the "ink" under it.

You can zoom in and out on a page using the pinch gesture while viewing or editing. The Zoomed Editing window lets you see both a zoomed-out overview and a zoomed-in close-up writing area at the same time.

You can use "Open In" in other apps send PDF files to Note Taker HD for annotation.

Note Taker HD was designed and programmed by Dan Bricklin, the same person who over 40 years ago came up with VisiCalc, the pioneering electronic spreadsheet that made working with numbers on a personal computer so easy.

What’s New

Version 7.0.1

7.0.0 was a major upgrade, mostly related to new support for iPhone as well as iPad Split View and screen sizes different than the original iPad. 7.0.1 adds wrist guard functionality in Zoomed Editing when the screen is narrow, fixes a bug with Selection Mode options, and also fixes an infrequent intermittent crash during Output.

A worthwhile buy for me

Great app that has a lot of functionality. I use it for my language studies. It's great being able to create folders, staple different docs together (immensely useful because I have to add new PDFs to existing ones weekly), rearrange the order of pages in a PDF, add tags and even customise the thumbnails of each page. It took me a bit of time to learn how to use it initially but once I discovered its usefulness, it became the default app for my studies. Another nice customisation plus lets me put tools like the pen and eraser near the bottom of the screen where I do my writing so I can switch easily between pen, highlighter and eraser without having to constantly move to the top of the screen. And I like how after I use the eraser, it goes back to the pen preset automatically without my needing to tap on the pen feature again. When I'm taking notes in class, that sort of automatic change is really useful.

Awesome!

I have tried most of the notes taking apps and this one has almost everything! It's brilliant!! I love how I have actual notes now!

It would be great if the app included some to-do functionality, perhaps some way to organize notes by project or "notebooks", that would really make it even awesomer!

Great app with great functionality and lots of future potential.

Good application but hard to use features

I find this application filled with cool features! Tried a lot of note taking application, all I came across does not have the feature of in build graphs.

However I have to say, I'm very confused on the use of the graphs. And some are not as well though or perhaps was too difficult to create? For example the grid graph, it allows you to expand the graph, increase the numbering but there is no negative sign option.. Perhaps I'm asking too much?

Another thing is that, it will be great the the zoom function has wrist protection or rejection.. Perhaps there is, somewhere in the settings, but I couldn't find it...

On the whole it is really rich with features.
