Now and then you happen across an app that gives you something mindbogglingly simple yet so functional that you soon wonder how you ever got along without it. Other times, you happen across an app that leaves out so many no-brainers that you find yourself shouting at your iPad screen like an overly immersed audience member at a horror movie: “No! Don’t go in the basement… *sigh* Why do they always go in the basement … ” neu.Notes for iPad is the rare app that combines both reactions. First, let’s talk about what neu.Notes for iPad does: it lets you sketch and hand-write on your sketch. You can also import pictures and maps, edit them with different colored brushes (no snazzy special effects,) then export them. One thing to note is that neu.Notes is a vector-based app, rather than a raster “paint” app. This is no big deal when you’re working on your iPad—in fact, it’s nice because it means that you can zoom in super close without worrying about trying to decipher pixelated notes or a fuzzy mind-map. However, the downside is that if you export the document all the heavy lifting will have to be done in Illustrator or another vector drawing program. In a pinch, you can work on a raster version of your skech by sending it to yourself as a .png. Here are the mindbogglingly simple yet functional features that makes neu.Notes worthy of a spot in your productivity toolbox. Because neu.Notes is supposed to be a productivity app, not just a quick fingersketching doodle-pad, a lot of attention has been paid to the ability to organize your notes and sketches.

It’s a phrase that’s familiar not only to Apple fans, but also to many who aren’t even fully aware of what an ‘app’ actually is.  They may have seen the words in a headline or on a t-shirt, or heard them in an Apple TV ad, uttered by a comedian or as part of the
