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!
Broken with OS16.2
Long time user, and have enjoyed the app for several years. Unfortunately the app no longer works since the 16.2 update. Screen rotation and reorientation is causing major problems.
Like it!
Like this app but always seems to close out whenever I’m working in the application. But truly like this app. Helps me to stay creative.
Is there copy and paste or move or resize?
I want to love this app but i cant find anything like copy and paste or resize.
If these exist they are hard enough to find that i can’t.
It is the most beautiful notebook app but if i have to erase and rewrite or redraw then thats unacceptable.
It must be there because I'm sure everyone would want this…?
Where oh where?
Very great app
This app is great. It even better when you pay for certain things and it not super expensive. It’s great app free and works well with my stylus I love this app
Awesome app!
I really like the way it feels just like my old school journals I used to keep through high school and college. Only it’s better because I can add my pictures, and edit my research. Doodle in the extra space, make the paper lined or parchment or stationary. It doesn’t need to be complicated like so many things are these days. I’ve been using it since about 2017 and I love it. Thank you, Wacom!
