It\nshould be noted that all notebook apps are best utilized with a stylus of your\nchoosing; a finger is not the proper tool to use here. This is one of the\nbetter choices for digital notebooks, as it offers features not found in other\napps. While the interface is simple, it may take some time to become a power\nuser. This would be my go-to app of its type if I was not already so invested\nin another notebook application. "]]],[1,"p",[[0,[2],1,"Usage:"],[0,[],0," The\ninterface is straightforward. You can write, draw, sketch, or doodle as you\nwould on a notebook. There are several options for paper types\u2014plain, ruled,\nsquared, weekly planner, recipes, and storyboard\u2014and they are included, not\navailable as an in-app purchase. Use is very intuitive, and the app operates\nlike most others in its category. Notebooks are arranged in an iBooks-like\ninterface on familiar shelves, but you can also view in an alternate \u201clisted\u201d\nstyle that provides a few more viewable notebooks on-screen."]]],[1,"p",[[0,[2],1,"Pros:"],[0,[],0," This app\nhas plenty of options for paper, writing utensils, text input (typing) and\nother settings\u2014which is a necessity if it is to replace your analog notebook.\nIt also allows for many notebooks, and you can somewhat customize their\nappearance. This app is updated on a regular basis, which is a positive, and\nusers have more choices with text fonts than in other apps I have reviewed.\nThose choices produce a mix of productivity and creativity, and allow for the\ncreation of presentation-suitable documents. Users can also add images to pages\nvia drag-and-drop, although the process is a bit different because each notebook\nhas its own image library."]]],[1,"p",[[0,[2],1,"Cons:"],[0,[],0," It is\ndifficult to find any glaring faults with this app. Its numerous options help\nconquer the task of replacing analog physical notebooks. If any area needs\nimprovement, it\u2019s the ability to export. Options are limited in this regard:\nemail as a JPG file, to Evernote, to Facebook, or to Twitter. For office use,\nusers may be relegated to the JPG email option."]]],[1,"p",[[0,[2],1,"Platforms:"],[0,[],0,"\n"],[0,[3],1,"iOS"],[0,[],0," and "],[0,[4],1,"Android"]]],[1,"p",[[0,[5],1,"Additional Resources: "],[0,[],0,"Join the "],[0,[6],1,"AIA Technology in Architectural Practice Knowledge Community"],[0,[],0," to receive alerts on upcoming webinars."]]],[1,"p",[[0,[7],1,"Andrew Hawkins,\nAIA, is the founder and principal of Hawkins Architecture, based in College\nStation, Texas."]]],[1,"p",[[0,[7],1,"The AIA does not\nsponsor or endorse any enterprise whether public or private, operated for\nprofit.
