A Better Way to Take Notes on an iPad

This free app will revolutionize how you take notes on an iPad.

Take notes on an iPad with INKredible.

One benefit of having an iPad is the ability to take notes on the go. And if you're anything like me, you almost always have a mobile device with you. However, we all know that the iPad keyboard is less than ideal, especially for those of us who grew up taking notes with good ol' pen and paper. (Me me, yes, that's me!)

Not only do I prefer writing the old fashioned way, but for me it's an important part of the memory process. I've discovered one of the biggest benefits to writing something versus typing it is that I'll remember more of what I've written, versus what I've typed.

This is why I can't wait to try out INKcredible.

INKredible has only ONE single mission: to create an outstanding writing experience on an iPad. It is meant to be distraction-free. In fact most of the time, you will not see any UI controls or buttons, just a blank sheet of paper to write on.

With more than 3 years of R&D in vector-graphics inking technology, we are confident INKredible – with a sophisticated manipulation of Bezier curves – will make your handwriting look more beautiful than on paper. – INKredible App

INKredible converts your handwriting into beautiful penmanship, completely for free. There are additional fonts available as in-app purchases too, if you want to mix things up and try another style. Once your notes are complete, you can print them out or share them virtually.

So grab yourself a stylus and start taking notes on your iPad! Try INKredible out today and let me know what you think.
