Jotter is the most appropriate tool to write a note on an iPhone or an iPad.

Jotter is like a notebook. You can easily write something quickly or draw a simple diagram with Jotter conveniently. Instead of a notebook, you can use Jotter to write or draw your idea in a quick, easy and convenient way. Jotter is acting like a real notebook. The size of you device is the size of your notebook, which will rotate automatically as you rotate the device, so what you see is what you get. If you want to use it in portrait mode, you can lay the device lengthwise. If you want to use it in landscape mode, you can lay your device widthwise.

Jotter provides three note lists: ‘My Notes’ list to manage note prepared on the device; ‘Favorites’ list showing notes designated as favorites; and iCloud list showing notes on iCloud. You can edit notes on ‘My Notes’ list and upload them to iCloud, if you have an iCloud account. You can change the type of a list by swiping the list view left or right.

You can use Jotter on all iOS devices (iPhone and iPad). If you have several devices, you can share your notes on all devices via iCloud.


Handwriting
• Provide a variable-width pen optimized for handwriting: if you write fast, the pen width becomes thinner, and vice versa. You can also use a fixed-width pen.
• Provide a highlighter with which you can draw a translucent line over text.
• Provide a zoom-in window, with which you can enter much more content on a limited space. It will also support you to write text more comfortably.
• When writing on the zoom-in window, the window will move automatically to write without additional control. When you reach the right margin of the page, it will automatically move to the next line.
• The zoom-in window supports both text directions: right-to-left and left-to-right.

iCloud
• As notes made on several devices are stored in an iCloud stream, you can see all the notes on each device.
• You can download a note to your device among notes stored in the iCloud stream. You can edit the downloaded note, and share it with other devices via iCloud.
• For notes with different sizes (made on other devices), you can change the size and position of the notes when opening them.

Share
• You can send a note to other people via email as a JPEG or PNG file.
• You can upload a note on SMS by using Copy function. Copy your content and paste it on a SMS window, then it will be sent to SMS.
• You can store notes in My Photo list.
• You can send your notes to your Twitter account set on your device.
• You can send your notes to your Facebook account set on your device, or upload them by logging in Facebook.
• You can send a note to other apps as a PDF file by using ‘Open with other app’ function.
• Jotter will send an image as you can see on the screen. If you want to share a portrait image, lay the device widthwise and share the image. If you want to share a landscape image, lay the device lengthwise and share the image.

Pros and cons of Jotter (Handwriting Notepad) app for iPhone and iPad

Jotter (Handwriting Notepad) app good for

Such a nice surprise. One suggestion: make it possible to select the handwritten text in order to move it or reduce its size.
Jotter makes handwriting notes on your iOS device really easy! Its intuitive and makes it easy to fit lots on your screen... even on smaller devices! Great for use with a stylus, too!
Is that an app like this wasnt included with iPod,,,,this is a MUST HAVE APP for any touch device,,fast, easy, and sharp,,,its one of those apps that after u buy,,,,u go "yes" bonus,,its actually WORTH IT,,,buy it people u wont be dissapointed
Its an app that does what its supposed to. I love this app. Great for jotting down notes or doodling brain farts.
So quick and practical, from a quick phone number grab to making a quick check list. I love this app. :) Bought it yesterday and Ive already used it a few times... Had no idea how quickly itd become part of my home screen. Lol Please, if I could make one request: HD it! I want this on my iPad, too!
This app is perfect for what I need it to do. All I needed was a simple handwriting with exporting options and its exactly that. The zoom in to write smaller is an amazing feature as well. A great app!

Some bad moments

Much better alternative writing apps available. With or without the magnification it is clumsy -- not up to standard. Tried to use it a few times; nothing to recommend it. Just not nice to use.
The wrist protection doesnt work that good while taking notes in the magnified area. There are other better apps than jotter. Try Ghost notes I think thats what it is. It is way better than jotter
Wake up guys. Crashes constantly since iOS 8. Update please. Have you abandoned the app?
This had all the earmarks of being a useful on-the-spot note-taking app. Unfortunately, when using an Apple Pencil the latency/delay between what you write and when it shows up on screen is horrendously long. Makes the app essentially unusable and worthless.
This is soooooooo stupid! It reacts super slow and is not worth ur $$$
The latest upgrade to a memo app I was using proved to be a disaster. I needed a new quick fun app for lists, memos, etc. Jotter is it! Its not trying to be anything other than a cool, helpful notepad thats simple to use for quick thoughts and sketches. The finger writing interface is smooth and versatile. The handwriting matches your own and you have a selection of paper backgrounds too. You can also add photos. Love it.
