How much does Bamboo Paper cost?

I love its simplicity, and the feeling of the available pens and brushes is so natural, even more than some professional drawing apps I use. It backups to the cloud. It lacks a selection tool and no app to view them on iPhone. Works well with Apple Pencil!
App icon
Great..
But very liked the old App icon picture ..
Thanks..
How can I change the notebook title
I want to change the notebook title to something other than "notes". Can I? If I can, how? And if there is no option to do that, can you add it in the next update? Thank you
Unable to unlock notebook!!
I just made a MASTERPIECE but I accidentally put a passcode on it, now I can’t get into it at all!! Please help me !!!!!!!
Simple is the best
I’ve been using this wonderful app since it came out. Where other apps changed their apps into oo many details this one stayed simple.I find myself making me-inspiration booklets with images or phrases and words for titles etc.
You might try typing up captions on a transparent backdrop of vintage paoers. Please, just don't take away the little books like another major app did. And thanks for not making us put them on a silly faux bookcase. I wouldn’t mind a few black covers.
I expected better
Although Wacom’s Bamboo Paper app performs adequately as a standalone handwriting app, its syncing capabilities between platforms (Windows to iOS and vice versa) leave much to be desired. The lack of scaling, zoom, and adjustments creates significant issues, especially since screen sizes differ between devices. This results in writing being cut off the page when viewed on a smaller device, significantly impacting the overall user experience and productivity. Wacom, being a well-established company, could benefit from refining these essential features to enhance cross-platform usability and ensure a more seamless user experience.
Doesn’t support Apple Pencil
The app seems like it could be good, but it doesn’t support the Apple Pencil. I didn’t find any warning about this design choice anywhere in the description. I only found it when trying to use the app, and googling it.
I wouldn’t be complaining if that big caveat to the utility of the app wasn’t hidden.
Restore
My purchases won't restore.
Palm Rejection doesn’t work at all
I actually love this app and have been using it for year HOWEVER they never fixed or gave an option to turn off the ability to draw with your hand. It picks up my palm ALL THE TIME and it is seriously annoying having to have to erase so many dots when taking even the smallest amount of notes.
Unfortunately this has made me have to look for an alternative that takes these basic features into consideration.
I recommend this app ONLY if you wear gloves while drawing or touching the screen at any point. Kind of annoying.
PLEASE FIX THIS
Or at the least make a toggle switch to turn off drawing with anything other than the Apple Pencil or stylus.
This app is awesome
I really enjoy this app. It really helps me get rid of my boredom. You can draw amazing things even without the premium brushes. Yes there is some stuff that costs money, but you can still do a lot without it awesome app!
