Notes and Annotation on the iPad (Part One)

INKredible

I tested this app with the Jot Script , the JOY, and the Apex Fine Point Active styluses. I like this app because the stylus is responsive and glides easily on the screen. Also, the app is able to draw "periods" or "dots" which is fundamental for any math related notes, and not standard on notes or annotation apps.
INKredible has a button with the option to use the fingers or the stylus for writing. When you click the stylus option the app gives a wrist guard that allow you to rest the wrist on the screen without creating drawing artifacts. This is a nice feature, but did not worked constantly for me.

The menu bar is on the left side, you may slide the stylus from left to right to reveal it or pin it down permanently on the screen.

They recommend to go to the iPad setting and disable Gestures to improve the stylus option and be able to rest your hand on the screen.

I have no favorite stylus for this app, the three pens worked fine and in similar fashion. The only consideration is the battery. The rechargeable Apex may loose power sooner than the Jot and the JOY. 

At the time of this entry INKredible does not have the capability to import pdf or pictures.
