WritePad App Reviews

To those that wonder why? Youve obviously never used a hand writing recognition app before. I love it! Its like using my HP Pocket PC. I loved the hand recognition on that and really missed that feature on the iTouch. Though I like the keyboard, I still enjoy writing. Keep at it! I can see something like this becoming standard down the road!!

I dont understand why some people pickup a handwriting recognition softeware and then turn around and say "handwriting is useless" and give this great software a 1*. Anyway, good speed, well thought out layout and elaborate options to set to make it great. Yeah, there may be a few more features to add, but, hey, people ITS A FREE SOFTWARE!!! Good job to the developer, and cant wait for Apple to pay YOU to integrate it into their OS.

Pretty good- I just dont get the point of it. Like seriously. :(

Now I need a stylus...

Needs to be stylus compatible.

Works surprisingly well! I just wish it would run on top of other applications (eg, safari) so that I wouldnt have to use the keyboard as much.

I have no complaints except for the fact that there is a limit to the file size. If you are writing something long you cant go past about 40 pages in a text file, it wont let you for some reason. You have to continue by starting a new file and labelling it 2, 3 and so on. Then close and open previous files to see what you have from the beginning. That is a hassle.

Ive tried a few handwriting apps, but this one by far is my favorite. If I could request a possible added feature it would be to be able to add simple drawings. Overall - a great app!!!

Dont waste you time with this app. The instructions are impossible to get back once you start using the app. Ive used graffiti in the past so Im quite familiar with this type of software. This is just a big joke theyve put on the market. They know people cant get their money back.

This apps is the best handwriting application on the iPhone, but they sell a French version of this apps instead of offering in-apps purchase. Im dissapointed because I need to write texts in both languages and the updates came faster on the english versions. Please add in apps purchases for additionnal dictionnaries!

Its definitely worth the money.

I got it free a long time ago, so I cant complain.

Based on the poor scores and comments, I wouldnt be surprised if the author said, frak it and gave up developing this program. I hope they dont though. Im very impressed with the recognition engine of this program. My handwriting is pretty awful but this program has no problem interpreting it. I cant imagine how sloppy your handwriting would have to be not to be recognized by this program. If I could improve one thing, it would be the notes organization. It uses a hierarchal folders-within-folders approach, but its never clear how far Im down into the folders and even what folder Im in. When I open a folder to view the documents within, nothing on screen tells me the name of the folder itself -- instead the folder icon changes to a generic "Parent folder" label. Easy to get lost as you get drill down the levels. Different levels should use different colour folders or icons to make it easier to quickly determine where you are in the hierarchy.

I went back to version 6.00 The latest release does not allow my to save new documents. iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.1

Dont install the latest update. It crash every time about 6 seconds after startup.

But hope supporting for Japanese,if possible then it mustbe fivestarsapp.

Complicated not worth the money

Give yourself time to learn it and appreciate it !

Example 1: I wrote this same sentence twice; the first example is typing out the words on my keyboard. The second sentence is my attempt at replicating the first, only I used the handwriting feature. Note that if the feature offered me the appropriate correction, I would use it. I downloaded this new handwriting app, but while I really enjoy how smooth it writes I am extremely disappointed in its ability to recognize Specific letters. This app certainly has a lot of potential and really does seem to be learning and picking up on my writing Style but still leaves a lot to be desired. For example, it refuses to learn how to write the letter d! It will put in an O almost every time that I dont write it in a very specific manner, which frustrates the hell out of me! It has a lot of potential to be sure, but until it gets a lot better at recognizing different variations in hand writing, I will not be using it very often.

Side note: it did much better with my letter "d" this time showing its real ability to learn. I am excited to begin using this app once the developers get all the kinks worked out, but its too time consuming for serious work in its current incarnation.

This app doesnt work very well at all.
