Finally, turn your notes and drawings into beautiful creations using a variety of handcrafted export styles and share them with the world.

• Annotations: add descriptive text to your note. These annotations are archived along with the image, and are globally searchable.
• Tag your notes. Tags are colored for easier detection, and will help you classify notes.
• Notes can be stored either on your device, or in the cloud using Evernote (beta), Dropbox, and iCloud.
• Efficient file-based storage: typical note is 400KB instead of the usual 3MB JPEG of a photo.

Customer Reviews
Very good app but exporting will be a problem
This app can prove very helpful.
I have some old books that are not available in digital format. I can import some pages using Carbo and then read them and also underline and make marginal notes. This means that I can take the books with me and also that my underlining and notes does not have to damage the original book.
I think that I am going to like this app; however, I have found one problem. There is an option for exporting pages (it is called "archiving"), but not of the options work. The archiving is basically just an "open in" setup, but since the file type is *.carbo, the files won't be read by any of my apps. So, the app *can* export, but none of the apps on my device will accept them.
