Wacom, the creators of the iPad Bamboo Stylus and highly regarded graphic tablets, have this week launched their new note-taking application, which has been designed to be used in conjunction with their Bamboo iPad Stylus. Although the iPad app will work with other styli and even your finger if needed.
First Impressions and Features
First impressions of the new application are good; it’s very clean and responsive even to finger gestures and writing, just in case you leave your Bamboo stylus at home or in the office. The Wacom Bamboo Paper iPad application also provides you with the ability to either email your pages or notebooks as PDF documents or print via AirPrint. This makes it incredibly versatile for both personal and professional use, allowing you to share your notes and sketches effortlessly.
There are still a few little niggles that need to be ironed out though, including the ability to create more than one book and to use the app in landscape mode. Currently, it only seems to work in portrait mode. This limitation can be a bit frustrating for users who prefer to take notes or draw in landscape orientation, especially when working on more detailed projects or presentations.
Additional Features and Future Updates
Wacom Bamboo stylus can be purchased from within the Bamboo Paper application for €29.90 and is a simple and elegant stylus to accompany your iPad. The Bamboo Paper application is currently free to download until the end of June. This makes it an attractive option for those looking to enhance their iPad’s note-taking capabilities without a significant initial investment.
In addition to its core features, the Bamboo Paper app offers a variety of paper types and pen styles, allowing users to customize their note-taking experience. Whether you prefer lined paper for writing or blank pages for sketching, the app has you covered. The pen styles range from fine-tip pens for detailed work to broader markers for bold strokes, making it suitable for a wide range of tasks.
Moreover, Wacom has hinted at future updates that will address some of the current limitations. For instance, the ability to create multiple notebooks and use the app in landscape mode are high on the list of requested features. These updates are expected to roll out in the coming months, making the app even more versatile and user-friendly.
The app also integrates seamlessly with cloud storage services like Dropbox and Google Drive, allowing you to back up your notes and access them from any device. This is particularly useful for professionals who need to access their notes on the go or collaborate with colleagues.
The Wacom Bamboo Paper iPad app is a promising tool for anyone looking to enhance their note-taking and sketching capabilities on the iPad. While there are a few areas that need improvement, the app’s clean interface, responsiveness, and versatility make it a strong contender in the digital note-taking space. With future updates on the horizon, it’s only going to get better.
