PRESS RELEASE
Bamboo Paper has been updated for the iPad® in a major redesign which works intuitively with the Wacom Intuos Creative Stylus
23rd August 2013 - Already a successful app in its first version, receiving more than five million downloads, Bamboo Paper 2.0 has evolved significantly. Originally an app focused on note taking, it now offers a broad range of writing and drawing tools, such as a watercolour brush and pencil, that enable users to create particularly individual digital notebooks.
Bamboo Paper 2.0 still remains in its unrivalled, uncluttered, clean design but offers much more versatility through three additional new notebook styles that differ in paper types and covers. This way, different demands and use cases find their specific expressions. A ‘Writer' notebook, for instance, may be used for note-taking or creative writing, whereas an ‘Artist' notebook could be used for more elaborate sketching and drawing.
The app now features an improved, near perfect palm-rejection, eliminating almost all accidental marks while sketching or drawing. Combined with the Intuos Creative Stylus, the new digital stylus from Wacom, Bamboo Paper 2.0 provides an even more natural and intuitive drawing experience. The Creative Stylus offers 2,048 levels of pressure sensitivity and comes close to a natural pen-on-paper feeling.
The app in its basic version can be downloaded for free. Additional styles and tools are offered as in-app purchases at £0.69; new creative pack with a variation of paper styles and brushes or pens can be bought at £2.49 Euro. When purchasing a Creative Pack, the ‘Artist' notebook comes as a free gift.
