shonuff: I downloaded this program. Wen I went 2 open it, it said, trial period over. WTF
cbellar: i downloaded this and when i went to try to use it, i got a screen telling me my free trial was up! i never even got to try the stupid thing. grr!
TravisPf: Does exactly what I was looking for. Nothing more, but nothing less.
shaas1982: its a very nice app let you just jot down a quick note or reminder for yourself without having to fiddle with all the keys typing. Works great on my Treo 650, and the pen follows alone very smoothly unlike other graffitti programs
Abid: A pretty cool program and works for me on the Treo 650 under hi res. Probably not good for low res. Shortcomings is unable to undo more than last stroke and no easy way to transcribe the notes later. A solid program.
Chuck Lawhorn: So the major innovation is that the notes look like they were written with a pen? No thanks.
tarsone: Don't be so harsh,it is quite a nice software
llestat: What is so innovative about zooming in on an image. I do the same with doodle programs that let me work on a small section of the canvas and then zoom back out.
peng1can: If (software) patents are truly pending on this product as claimed in the description, I'll be sure to boycott it. Patent claims on software are nothing to be bragging about.
