LectureNotes v2.1.6
Requirements: Android 3.0 and up
Overview: LectureNotes is an Android app for note-taking by handwriting on the screen, in particular with a stylus.
It is designed having a user at
university (or at school) in mind, for instance a lecturer who is using
it for preparing her/his lecture or even for actual teaching (by writing
on the device and projecting the screen content for the audience) or a
student who is using it for taking handwritten notes during a lecture.
However, it has found many users outside academia, for instance
businessmen who use it for sales presentation or artists who use it to
create sketches and drawings.
Its major target devices are tablets
with Android 3.0 or later (the development is done on a Lenovo ThinkPad
Tablet with an N-trig stylus, a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 with an S-pen,
and a Nexus 7 with an Adonit and a Wacom stylus). The basic
functionality should work on all devices with Android 3.0 or later, but
some which are hardware-dependent such as pressure sensitivity might
not.
NOTE: There is a free trial version to
test if the app is right for you. The free trial version is fully
functional with the exception that the number of notebooks is
constrained to two, with no more than eight pages per notebook.
If you encounter a problem with the
app, please report it to me by email (devel [a] acadoid.com), I will do
my very best to fix it quickly. The same holds true for suggestions and
feature requests, please send them to me by email, as I cannot respond
to a review in the market.

manager app to be installed; image import directly from camera requires a
camera app to be installed; PDF import requires a file manager app and
PDFView to be installed; export to Evernote requires the Evernote app to
be installed; audio recording and replay requires LectureRecordings to
be installed.
