Description

Editors' Choice: "Bottom Line: Affordably-priced and feature-rich, Note Taker HD is the iPad app for professionals in need of note-taking software." -PCMag.com, June 2011

Note Taker HD is a powerful app for writing and organizing handwritten notes, diagrams, etc., on the iPad. It can also be used to annotate PDF files. It can shrink your writing so you can easily fit a lot of text on a page. You can read the reduced-size "ink" as if you had written those letters with a very fine pen. It gives you solid functionality and control to produce the pages you need.

Documents are flexibly organized by tags, date/time last modified, favorites, and more, with a scrolling list of thumbnail images of part of each page to help you find them later. You can email one or more pages as a single PDF file, "Open In" other apps, or, if your iPad supports it, print.

Note Taker HD lets you create pages by writing on the screen with your finger or an iPad-compatible stylus. You can either write directly on the page for large drawings, or have the "ink" you write shrunk down. You can write in large letters on the screen rather than trying to make tiny motions like a pencil. You just keep writing and Note Taker HD automatically adds new writing next to the old. To quickly correct mistakes, it has multi-level undo and redo buttons as well as an eraser -- just drag your finger over the page to erase the "ink" under it.

You can zoom in and out on a page using the pinch gesture while viewing or editing. The Zoomed Editing window lets you see both a zoomed-out overview and a zoomed-in close-up writing area at the same time.

You can use "Open In" in other apps or iTunes to send PDF files to Note Taker HD for annotation.

Note Taker HD was designed and programmed by Dan Bricklin, the same person who over 30 years ago came up with VisiCalc, the pioneering electronic spreadsheet that made working with numbers on a personal computer so easy.

Customer Reviews

Not shiny but gets the job done well (5 stars)
There are now lots of note-taking apps offering great and various features. But I give props to this app's developer because in the app's early days, it focuses on functionality more than other developers. Such functionalities include Open In, left-handed mode, document orientation, margin, footer, paper size, PDF annotation, tag, shapes, export multiple docs as one, un/staple pages from/to a doc, API protection etc. but most importantly, st

Continues to be the best! (5 stars)
I have been using this app for well over a year now, and have come to depend on it for much of my day to day work. With each update it only gets better, and the support for the new iPad is both thorough and also thoughtful.

By that I mean the tool provides options about how detailed and fine the resolution should be, enabling the user to balance speed of rendering with crispness of display. That is a thoughtful touch and one I app

Finally, I can leave behind the notebook! (5 stars)
I've been keeping a hand-written journal for more than thirty years. I'm a writer and a poet who uses my notebooks to jot my original ideas, map out drafts of new work, and basically chronicle my life. My dream has been to find an app for the iPad that would allow me to finally leave behind the 100 page paper binders full of college-ruled notebook paper, that has been my chosen style, and finally do all my journal writing directly on the i
