> Handwriting notebook for iPad and iPhone with movable vector ink

Inkflow is a handwriting and sketching notebook for iPad and iPhone from Qrayon. Strokes are stored as vector ink that stays sharp when zoomed, and anything on a page can be lassoed, moved and resized, which the vendor likens to a word processor for visual thinking. The Basic edition is free with books of up to 20 pages; a one-time Inkflow Plus upgrade adds color, more tools, unlimited pages and Inkport, which turns notes on paper into editable ink through the camera.

## Key features

- **Fountain-pen vector ink:** Strokes are stored as vector ink modeled on a fountain pen, so writing stays sharp at any zoom level. It works with a finger or a stylus.
- **Select, move and resize:** Anything on the page can be lassoed, dragged somewhere else or scaled up and down, so lists and sketches can be rearranged after they are written.
- **Text, photos and paper backgrounds:** Text boxes and photos can be placed anywhere and resized along with the ink. Paper options are plain, grid, ruled lines and a music score.
- **Inkport:** Part of Inkflow Plus: the device camera converts handwriting and sketches on paper into vector ink that can be moved and edited like anything drawn in the app.
- **Apple Pencil mode and palm rejection:** With an Apple Pencil connected, a Pencil-only mode ignores marks from the palm and fingers while fingers still zoom and pan. Settings also offer palm rejection and a wrist guard.
- **Export and sharing:** A book exports as a PDF and a page as a high-resolution JPEG, for email, printing or another app. Plus adds PNG export with a transparent background.

## Good for

- Brainstorming and planning by hand on an iPad

- Classrooms, where the vendor offers volume pricing

## Worth knowing

- It is available for iPad and iPhone only; the vendor lists no Android, Windows or web version.
- The free edition has black ink only, 5 fonts and a 20-page limit per book; color, extra tools and unlimited pages need Inkflow Plus.
- The user guide describes manual backup through iTunes File Sharing and does not mention syncing books between devices.
- The App Store listing notes that the free app contains advertising.
