Dantac approved: IPad app to replace you notebook

Post Reply New Topic

Notify is an app that lets you take handwritten notes in class, record audio while doing so, insert pdf, google maps, images and browse the internet without closing the app.

Many apps out there do this however the guy that made this app figured a way to increase the speed and accuracy of the touchscreen so that you can take notes quickly..all other apps fail at this because of the ipad's touchscreeen limitations.

Heres two pics made by the app from the notes i took during my biobehavioral anthropology class. The first page starts with wide, scruffy looking writing...thats how all other apps tend to write. The small writing is after i activated this app's genious feature. Result? Its just like writing in my paper notebook.

You can export your stuff as pdf,image and as an email...or google docs or dropbox.

I'll stick with paper.

Ipad and tablet PCs, IMO at the moment, only good to self-teach you foreign languages. Especially languages where you need to practice swiping new symbols/letters.

Though that is nicely thin handwriting, big step forward. Though I can imagine using a stylus on a screen meant for multi-touch (fingers) will wear it (the screen) down quickly.

Though, you need to be able to keep to your teachers pace. Light glare causing you to focus too much on the screen too. And I will not be able to note in different colors.

the ipad stylus are less risky to the screen than your finger actually.

I've tried to use other apps to take notes in class but as you say, keeping up with the teacher's pace was an issue..as well as text size 'n stuff. Thats whats so awesome about this app though: it does not have those issues.

and you can change colors with a tap on the app too.


I'll just say that I purchased the ipad a bit over a year ago to replace my notebook...and it failed. It wasnt until last week that this app finally found a way to do it right. I passed all my paper notes into this puppy and been taking notes in class with it since then. Those 2 pics are in-class notes..even the harpoon drawing. Its practically identical to writing on an i-pad screen size piece of paper.

I would rather type on a real keyboard than handwrite, as typing can be done with touch memory, requiring less thinking than writing. But if an iPad is someone's tool of choice for class to class, I can see them really benefiting from the app.

I'm on an iPad right now and I find, overall, it is a poor choice for the things I do on a computer. My son has a net book with high between life for school and he loves it.

I type faster than I handwrite but when your proff. jumps back and forth a subject its rather hard to keep notes in any form or order or form that you can read the next day and understand. At least for me.



absolutely, an ipad is no replacement for a computer. But it certainly is an excellent replacement for carrying textbooks (of my 5 classes I got 4 of those classes' textbooks in e-format on the ipad) and with this app, for all my notebooks.

Oops, the iPad "fixed" a word for me that I missed. My son's net book has a high battery life, not a high between life.

I take the iPad when I travel mostly for size reasons, and also because I love the maps on this thing.
