Bamboo Paper

Need a notebook where to write or draw things when you're on the underground, bus or walking down the street? Downloading Bamboo Paper is an option

Write and draw your ideas so you don't forget anything

You know those great ideas that come all of a sudden that you can never remember when you need them? You know you hit the right key, but because you didn't write it down, it's likely to be forgotten forever. That's why you should always have a pen and paper with you to write down thoughts, considerations, tasks and even the shopping list. It's a lot more useful than you might think. However, with the development of mobile phones and other portable devices, we don't need to carry anything else with us to write.

One of the most used applications on our phones is probably one that allows us to write down silly things, things to look up, pending tasks and whatever else comes to mind. There are tons of apps of this type, but some of them are rather rudimentary. What if there was an app that not only allowed us to write, but also to draw easily? Well, it was already developed by Wacom (the same guys behind the drawing tablets) and it's called Bamboo Paper. You can download its APK file completely free of charge and install it on your Android device.

drawing and writing

This application works just like any traditional notepad. You can change the cover and design of the pages and add new sheets when you have filled the previous ones. It comes with a whole bunch of structural tools that you have to pay for, except for the first two:

• Pen.
• Marker.
• Pencil.
• Paint brush.
• watercolor brush.
• colored pencil.

Choose the thickness and color of the stroke from the default options and start creating. There's also a useful undo and redo feature in case you make a mistake. If you have a Wacom ID, you can link your Wacom Cloud account to Bamboo Paper content for quick access to all your work and notes, wherever you are.

Basic version vs. full version

Although the basic version already comes with a wide range of tools that you'll find very handy when carrying them around, there are also quite a few options that are only available via in-app purchases. Here's how you'll be able to buy different items in batches or bundles:

• Notepad.
• tools.
• Packs (the Pro Pack includes absolutely everything).
• Styles (touchscreen pens).

Requirements and further information:

• Minimum operating system requirements: Android 5.0.
• The app offers in-app purchases.
