ADD TINIEST DETAILS
With our unique zoom function, you can draw or write fine lines and fit more notes onto the page.
GET YOUR IDEAS FURTHER
Activate the free Inkspace Plus features in your Bamboo Paper app (Wacom ID required) to automatically sync and access your sketches and notes from anywhere, at any time, across all your devices. Easily export and share your ideas in different file formats, such as .psd, .svg, and rich text. And collaborate on a real-time canvas with others – no matter where you are.
CAPTURE YOUR IDEAS WITH A BAMBOO STYLUS
For the best result and experience, use Bamboo Paper together with a Bamboo Stylus. For advanced note-taking or sketching, try the thin-tip pressure sensitive stylus products from Wacom: Bamboo Stylus fineline and sketch.
START ON PAPER WITH A BAMBOO SMARTPAD
Prefer to start on real paper? Capture your ideas with pen on paper on the new Bamboo Folio or Slate by Wacom and digitally shape and refine them later in Bamboo Paper.
EXPRESS YOURSELF NATURALLY
Bamboo Paper now supports tilt*, so every stroke looks authentic.
It detects the angle of the pen so you can express yourself in the most realistic way.
*Depends on pen and device capability.

Landscape/portrait rotation
iPad Air 3rd gen iPadOS 16.1.1. - 2.18.5 There seems to be an issue when rotating between both formats where landscape to portrait and back doesn't render the display correctly. It attempts to fit a landscape image rotated by 90 degrees into a portrait mode. Closing the app and reopening clears it.
Bamboo sketch tool
I have had Free ‘bamboo’ for some 8 or 9 years now and I truly love it ! I further purchased pens and markers plus graph pad etc all at small cost. In my construction business I I use my Wacom ‘Bamboo’ facility all the time both in the office and out in the field and on-site, to photograph and mark up images taken by phone or iPad imported into ‘bamboo’ and away we go with overlays, sketch ideas and sharing with colleagues and instructions to tradesmen.
I for one user could not be without the facility and I find it so clever.
For children to use for colour merging to see colours change by adding a green or a yellow to produce a whole range of colour or there’s the colour palette to choose from.
It’s a beautiful little tool to doodle ideas, use professionally in business and it’s versatility in application is pretty endless. It’s easy to learn and refine so it’s 5 stars from me !

Palm rejection doesn’t work
I can’t believe something made by Wacom can’t produce effective palm rejection, but it happened pretty consistently whilst using Apple Pencil on iPad Pro. Makes this already pretty limited app pretty useless.
Great!
Amazing app especially because it’s a free app. Definitely recommend to everyone
Lost all my drawings from this app and on its cloud!!
Hello,
I am very disappointed about your app and the service in its cloud!! I started to use your app with my Apple pen by drawing stuff, about 30 pages, and today I realised all my work is gone, YOU deleted all my drawings!!!! Your cloud contained all my work and it is EMPTY as well!! Like I have never drawn up anything in the Bamboo Paper app! 😡
Tell me, how can I get my drawings back on your cloud service????
I WANT ALL MY drawings ~ 30 pages BACK!!!! NOW!!
I did not save them anywhere else and you have no right to use them at all or even just remove/delete them all WITHOUT MY consent!!
Very good with simple design
I am using this app for basic tasks and it’s perfect. I guess for more complex tasks also will be great.
Note taking
Was looking for a note taking app and this is perfect for me
It’s ok BUT...
It’s ok but it seems kinda sketchy I’d rather get notability
Very very good
This app is amazing for taking notes and couldn’t be better for a free app
Defo recommend
Previous Notebooks Deleted
This app has upgraded itself. My previous notebooks have gone. Absolutely Rubbish. App now deleted. Don’t bother with this.
