PenSupremacy for Tablets

I bought this app after seeing a few people use their tables as a writing tool. (Those tables were made by Apple, however.) It worked okay at home. However, I was at a meeting yesterday and wanted to jot some notes down. Unfortunately, the app would not load, as it - for some unfathomable reason - needed to check the licence before loading. Of course, I am usually in a location without WiFi and therefore had to resort to a pad and paper. Need to make the licensing static and not rely on an internet connection every time this loads.

I use the Galaxy Note 8. The inking is great, interface clean, and productivity papers. The pages flip too, rather than scroll. But then the shortcomings: imported pictures are not resizable so you cant put your logo on a page you are mailing out. No undo feature, so if you accidentally ink your imported picture or any part of the document, you are out of luck. You can't mix colours. For eg, you can't get blue-black or brown. All colours come in their native form. 4 stars for encouragement.

The idea for this app is great, but it only performs half the tasks it promises to do. I have trouble opening certain notebooks after writing in them and I can not change the page in any of my notebooks. If both of these were to be corrected I would give this app 5 stars without a doubt.

At first glance it has some great features for what I need in a notebook app. Problem is that it is way too buggy to use. I can't open notebooks after a bug closes them, which happens just about every time I try to do something in a notebook. This renders this app completely useless.

Ok, basic note taking is fine, its not Penultimate but perfectly serviceable. The showstopper bug is that you cannot create new pages in a notebook. Once you attempt to do so the notebook can no longer be opened and you have lost all information contained. I've emailed the dev.

Previous update fixed problem with deleted notes, but now with this latest update I can't open mi existing notebooks. All or part of some pages get deleted at random. turning pages is difficult sometimes. Needs indication of number of pages in notebooks. This app would be acceptable if data were not deleted.

I am really frustrated with this ap because I like it a lot, yet much of the time I need to take notes where there is no Internet connection. If it can't check the license, it renders itself useless. Too bad that such a valuable tool goes to waste for fear of losing a nickel.

First i look this app is really like penultimate.. but when i buy it... it's worthless, because i cannot adding the page and sometime i cannot open my notebook.. Please fix the bugs then i give you 5 stars.

Having paid for this app, I discovered that I could not use it when there is no internet connection for its licence check. This meant I could not use it on an aeroplane with my tablet in flight mode - so couldn't read and update meeting notes. How can the developers possibly think that is good experience? Will now be looking for an alternative that will work offline. DO NOT BUY if offline access is important to you. Could have been pretty good had it not been for this major flaw.

I was excited for this app. It was exactly what I was looking for. I bought it. Used it. Loved it. I was using it on my Nexus 7. The fonts for the headings at the top didn't fit well. The very bottom of each word is shaved off. I didn't really care because I could still read what they were. The killer for this app and why I am rating it a 1 star is because every time I try to make a new page on a note, or go to the thumbnails to see all of the pages in a note it closes the note and I can no longer open that note. I lost my notes that I made in the app. It works just fine if I only make one page notes. I have emailed the developer and hope to hear from them soon. I am not expecting much sense there hasn't been an update to the app in some time. I'm moving on to other note apps. I would like to get my money back unless the app is fixed.

Hopefully it works with my nexus 7 now. Does NOT WORK WITH NEXUS 7 and they have REFUSED to fix it. WHY WHY WHY WHY Stop selling it if you don't INTEND to fix the problem or AT LEAST RESPOND WITH SOMETHING. It's been over a year and still no respond whether it will be fixed or NOT

Apklng doesn't appear to have updated this app in over a year. With all the changes to Android since Honeycomb, this is an all around bad purchase. Comparing it to Penultimate is outright lying.

Saweeet! This is exactly why I bought a 10" tablet... Going paperless with my fieldwork. Keep the updates coming. Would love to see variable size text boxes & fonts. Would also like basic image editor. For now though, it's perfect.

Without an undo option I can't undo accidental lines over text. The eraser erases everything whereas undo would remove only the most recent writing actions. Unless I missed something and there is an undo option hidden somewhere? I prefer FreeNote although that currently has some missing features as well such as save to pdf.

Per other reviews, I cannot open notebooks once they've been saved. Apparently there's been no response to this issue being reported. Too bad, because it looks like a decent app otherwise.

I paid for this app as a substitute to Penultimate which is not yet offered on Android. On my Nexus7, The app crashes when you tap to move forward a page in a notebook. It also freezes the notebook so it cannot be reopened and causes your note to be trapped. You also cannot export the note to Evernote as it will export only the shell but not note contents. I wrote the developer's email, wrote him on Google+ as well, and no response to my request for support after 3 days. I now use Evernote's Skitch instead. It is not the same as PenSupremacy, but it works.

Basically useless if you have a rubber tip stylus, since it has too much drag. Microfiber styluses work best. It won't let me open my notebooks after just writing in them no matter how many times I select the notebook. What's the point of having the notes if you can't see them?

Would've been a great app if it wasn't for the fact that you are not able to open the notebook after going for a second page. Would love to rate the app higher if this issue was fixed. Also a proper landscape mode would be nice.

Great developer feedback. Worked hard to solve issue with Galaxy Note. One last bug to go. Dev has emailed me an apk to test so I'm confident it will be solved and I'll be ticking the 5th star.

This app simply doesn't work at all as soon as I leave a note book I can not reopen it and I am forced to create a new one and then the same thing happens again. This makes the app completely useless. DO NOT BUY THIS APP!!!!!!! This app feels like a scam I found it when I was looking for penultimate by Evernote but it looks like they don't have an android app yet.

For me it was very disappointing to see that one can not open notebooks, add pages, or change orientation. It actually quits the application when I change the orientation. When the bugs are fixed, I think it will be a nice application.

As this needs an Internet connection to run it makes it totally useless for me. If you always can guarantee that where ever you may have inspiration strike you also have a connection on your tablet then get it, else avoid.

There are a few glitches that make this app frustrating. Slow response makes handwriting ugly. Pen line size will randomly change. After the last update huge blotches will appear covering text I have written. It has potential and is convenient, but I'm getting frustrated with it. Update 1/22/15 this app refuses to work for me now. I can create & open new books, but turning the page & closing the books corrupts them so they can't be opened again. This problem has persisted for months now. Xoom tablet.

I bought a Nexus 7 just this week with the intent to use this for taking notes and reading cases for my MBA. One classmate uses penultimate to integrate notes tables and pictures of the chalk boards... Unfortunately this is not close to the same program. The notes screen does not follow your writing, you cannot zoom, and you can only add photos in thumbnail size.... I will be testing out other programs. One great note taking tool is the ad on it jot pro pen!!!! It's awesome!!!

More or less useless to me as it won't work unless there's an active net connection, for verification of licence I believe. Fine and dandy on a phone, or 3G enabled tablet, but on a wifi only Nexus 7, it's usefulness nose dives. The really galling thing is, all it would have taken to stop me wasting my money would have been one extra sentence in the description. Deleting it now cause it's just a waste of space. They have my money though, so a win / lose situation. One star only cause I couldn't award none.

it is an awesome app and easy to use. Wish I could take a photo in app and would like to be able to create my own backgrounds...maybe in a future update

For anyone, like myself, who uses a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and who has tried unsuccessfully to find a hand writing program that works, honestly this is the program you have been looking for. Every previous program I found responded so slowly to my finger or stylus movements that I went brain dead before I could catch the notes that I was trying to take. this program writes clearly and quickly. When I have used the voice activated note taker, I was pleased to find out when I completed a phrase that I had about 10 options to choose from and all I had to do was tap the one that was correct. A splendid value in my opinion for the price of a $1.49.

Use this app almost everyday for taking down formulas and diagrams quickly and easily, great app!

I wish I had never installed it! I started taking notes in it and the experience was poor. One problem is that the strokes are not smooth. Also, I couldn't find an obvious undo. But, the worst is that I can't even open the notebooks that I created. I have penultimate for the iPhone and my only complaint is that they don't have an Android version. Playing on their name with such a shoddy product is shameful. I'm happy to pay for a good app. I wish this one was even mediocre!

The biggest problem I have with this app is lag and accuracy, which can vary from negligible to very noticeable. If I write slowly my writing is captured ‘acceptably’, but when I write at normal speed the app can’t keep up. Sometimes the lag is really bad, sometimes not so noticeable. But even at its best the responsiveness to finger/stylus movement is still about 4 to 5 times slower than it should be. Honestly, milliseconds count here. I appreciate new features like the widget and gallery/Picasa import, but not at the expense of core mission-critical features like responsiveness and accuracy. Until this improves, and effective palm rejection is added, this app is un-useable.

I bought this app under the impression that it would be the answer to all my paperless needs. I was wrong. Real paper does not lag. My tablet is very nice, with a quad-core processor and good enough specs to run this kind of software. I even bought an expensive tablet in my search for the best paperless solution. Nothing helps this app. Maybe in later updates the lag will go away, but for now it is horrendous. The app's home screen in poorly designed because most of the text is cut in half and unreadable. NO REFUND EITHER. This review is not meant to be "hate mail" or "offensive", but only to serve as a warning for others. If you would like to spend your money on this, not my business. But I found it was not worth the money. I am a college student learning about software engineering especially in applications, and this company did NOT necessarily think this app through. Hope this app was helpful.

Every now and then it will not run, if i am not connected to internet. If this was on phone it would be fine, but on wifi only tablet this is awkward. On train went to use it and it would not run because it wanted to check license over internet. A great app totally spoiled by this repetitive license checking restriction. Remove this stupid restriction and it would be worthy.

Doesn't work well on a phone. Out never claimed to, but for me out was a waste of money.

Works well..the one thing I would like to see add is shapes. I can't draw, other than that great app.

After I save a note, can't open the notebook. Can't add more than one page to any notebook. Not all options show up and cannot scroll to see the hidden options because the font is so large and no scroll is provided. Very disappointing. I want a refund.

this app is terrible in Nexus 7 running Android 4.1.1 doesn't allow the creation of new pages and half of the functions don't work. So users of the latest Android version we paid for nothing... It is also incredible that the app need internet connection for start, really useful for the users. Great developer, hope you will back to work and solve this mess

Great app -- I have used it to take notes in business meetings quite a bit. I'm giving it the bad review, however, because it uses Google's license validation and doesn't allow me to open it unless I'm connected to wireless. I use a Galaxy Tab 2 7" with only a wi-fi connection. When I'm visiting a customer, I don't always have the ability to connect to WiFi. Today was the second occasion when I was locked out. I will be de-installing and refusing to use this application unless this problem is fixed.

I downloaded it on my Samsung Galaxy Tab. It became unresponsive after I added a second notebook. It's crap.

Wasted money on this app. Crashes when you change books. To make things worse I can't open my notes.
