Genial Writing

I used to really like this app. It was my primary journaling app. On Android I remember that it had a pinch out to zoom the page so that you could read what you had written after turning off writing input mode. So, I started using it on my iPad recently, but there is no pinch- to -Zoom; and now, whatever I have written is too small to read afterwards. I have tried double-tapping and any other gestures that I could think of, but there is no way to Zoom the page to make your writing input large enough to read afterwards. Syncing with Dropbox still functions fine. But now that I can't read what I have written, it's not useful to me. I will probably uninstall it soon.

I quite like this app. When I switched from Kindle to iPad, this was the best handwriting app I found to replace Notepad. I love the fact that I can also integrate type and images. Like all these apps, when it gets too full it starts to crash. This then makes it difficult to retrieve any notes you have not yet exported. Exporting to pdf and jpg is pretty good on this as well. It takes a little playing with the settings but that’s normal. Overall an excellent app that meets my journaling needs.

This app allows handwriting or typing, and the styles of covers are very nice. Only thing I would change is adding password recovery options for locked notebooks.
