Description

Turn your iPad into a paper notebook and capture your ideas everywhere, anytime. Taking notes, sketching, and drawing is as straightforward and simple as using real pen and paper. 
CREATE YOUR OWN COLORS 
Set any color and create a custom color palette with 36 color swatches. Express your creativity with all possible colors. 
ANNOTATE WITH PHOTOS
Enrich your notes or journal with photos. Add images or photos to your page and sketch or write on top. 
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.

iOS 13 Issues

Version 2.17.1
This app was good before iOS 13 - Write my notes on the Wacom smartpad, see the files in Inkspace and transfer them to Bamboo Paper to make topic wise notebooks to study. The app had its limitations, like it doesn’t allow more than 100 pages per notebook, but it still felt great.
But iOS 13 no longer lists Bamboo Paper in the share menu. And thus, there’s simply no way of transferring a file from Inkspace to Bamboo Paper making the Bamboo Paper app redundant. And since Inkspace has a less appealing interface than Bamboo Paper has, the whole experience of digitising my notes comes crashing down.

Simple and elegant but ...

... and I think others have mentioned this too; the palm rejection on an iPad Pro with Apple Pencil 2 is appalling. I have to spend an inordinate amount of time removing blotches from my notes and sometimes I have to rewrite / draw sections upon which the blotches appear.
As I am using this app primarily as for simple notes for myself it is not that big a deal for me, but it seriously limits the app as this becomes a major hinderance if I were to decide to produce anything professionally.
Developers, please, see to it that this issue is resolved. I understand that there may be some conflict of interest at Wacom as your core business is the sale of your graphic pads and stylus hardware - but such omissions, even if they are not deliberate, have the potential to reflect badly on your reputation.

Hello developers,
I started using this app on my iPad Pro and wanted to upgrade the basic version but due to poor palm rejection while using Apple Pencil I can’t. Can you help me with this? Coz I love the simplicity of this app, the only annoying thing about this application is the poor palm rejection for Apple Pencil 2.

Installing this on the new iPad Pro, you get huge bezels on each side, no option for proper ruled pages, the pressure sensitivity is bad/zero. And there are no custom options relating to Apple Pencil (such as disabling drawing with hands when you have the Pencil).
In short, I had great expectations - it being a Wacom app, but they all fell flat.

Great App, Great Touch feel

You were my fav guys before Notability. Your cloud server isn’t that efficient, I made some changes on the phone, and it took hours to show on my iPad.
Next is you have the worst palm rejection, while other apps like acrobat, has improved in this case, you’re still the same.
Another thing is the stroke, I looks very unnatural and the pen sizes are not satisfying.
Zoom feature is not good.
No rotation feature,
No stroke erase feature.

I was trying out all possible free apps for note taking. I have tried penultimate, Evernote, and several other. Nothing works as smooth as this, on top of this, it has the best palm rejection. So this can be used in classroom without any additional effort. The best app without doubt. Highly recommended!

The app is good for casual notes ..but if u study a lot and do a lot of notetaking then consider other apps like zoom notes ..good notes and notes Plus ..these apps have support for different stylus including wacom ones ..
Coming back to paper app ..the lining in the paper is not rotating to landscape mode ..this is annoying when taking handwritten notes in landscape which Wacom itself recommends to avoid offset..kindly rectify the issue

Good app...but can be better

App is good and serves the purpose.
@bamboo_paper team: please include split view mode. Also add pen only mode which prevents the palm and finger from registering the input while using pencil (I use apple pencil). It was would be great to see reading mode where we can flip the pages as e-reader (without pressing tiny arrows at the bottom) without any scribble on the page from pencil or fingers.

When I came across this app, I hadn't yet owned an iPad. It seemed so enticing that I chose iPad over other tablet devices along with a Wacom Intuos 2 stylus. Everything works like a charm. But a bit more of precision would make me love Wacom products even more. I would give extra stars if and when bamboo paper gets the zoom-in-writing feature like the one in Notes Plus and Smart Note. Sincerely hoping that the developers add that feature to bamboo paper!
