Effortless Note-Taking with Note Taker HD
Note Taker HD offers a user-friendly interface designed for efficient note-taking, making it ideal for students and professionals alike, though it could benefit from more organizational features.
The latest upgrade of Note Taker HD, one of the first note-taking apps designed for Apple devices, has solidified its reputation as a powerful and stable application for organizing handwritten notes and diagrams. In addition to its note-taking capabilities, Note Taker HD can also be used to annotate PDF files. It offers functionality and control to produce the pages you need.
With Note Taker HD, documents can be organized by tags, date/time last modified, favorites, and more. Thumbnail images of each page help users easily navigate through their notes. The app allows you to email one or more pages as a single PDF file, "Open In" other apps, or print them if your device supports it.
Note Taker HD lets you create pages by writing on the screen with your finger or an iPad/iPhone-compatible stylus. You can write directly on the page for large drawings or have your writing shrunk down for smaller text. The app also offers multi-level undo and redo buttons and an eraser for quickly correcting mistakes.
Zooming in and out on a page is made easy with the pinch gesture, and the Zoomed Editing window provides both a zoomed-out overview and a zoomed-in close-up writing area simultaneously.
