It’s expected to be shipped to backers in January. The project has already passed its $40,000 crowdfunding funding goal with 17 days left to run. The two cheapest early bird pledge tiers have all been bagged so Nota now costs $39 or more via Kickstarter. And is powered by a single AAA that can last for up to six months of use. Nota is apparently compatible with all Android and iOS tablet apps, according to its creators. Ergo, it can be more precise (and presumably doesn’t feel as draggy as some rubber styluses can). Nota also has a more rigid tip than rubber-tipped alternatives, being as its tip is electrically active silicon, rather than squishy rubber to mimic a finger. Being so thin allows for greater precision when drawing/writing vs thicker-tipped styluses owing to less distortion of the lines being formed. The shtick of this latest stick is that it has a very fine tip: 3.7mm no less - which its creators claim makes it less than half the size of “most” other stylus tips. The official website hosts a free comprehensive manual that can be downloaded and read in addition to various artist spotlights showcasing what you can create using just this app and a Surface Pro.Hex3, the company behind a successfully Kickstarted pressure-sensitive stylus called JaJa - which got a pretty solid review from my colleague Darrell Etherington last year - has launched another stylus crowdfunding project, called Nota, that’s aimed at making scribbling on a tablet more precise. Many high-quality Sketchable tutorials are available to watch directly from within the app. What sets Sketchable apart is its strong focus on educating and training new users on using the app and making the most out of all of its features. All of the basic drawing and painting features are free. It is worth mentioning that Sketchable locks some of the more advanced tools behind a one-time $24.99 paid upgrade. Sketchable boasts a massive selection of brush types, color options, and tools to help you create some genuinely professional-grade drawings and uses a UI designed to be navigated and controlled with a stylus. Sketchable is up there with Autodesk SketchBook as one of the best Surface Pro drawing apps within the Microsoft Store app store. Some of the advanced features are locked behind a $24.99 paid upgrade. The app’s main claim to fame is seamless syncing between devices and an easy link sharing feature, allowing multiple people to work on the same digital workspace simultaneously across multiple Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android devices. Whiteboard has some additional line and chart tools and some solid import support for PDF files and images from the Bing search database. They are also a large enough size for children to interact with without accidentally selecting the wrong function. You may opt to leave the note in your handwriting or convert the message to text.Another bonus: you can select 7Notes for text input (your handwriting) for any application.Good. The pen size and color options are easy to access along the bottom of the Microsoft Whiteboard screen. I've used it on both my Android phone and Asus tablet with an Amazon Basics stylus.The best part: You can write in the app on 'notepaper' using your regular handwriting. This app features a streamlined interface designed for those who prefer to use a stylus, such as the Surface Pen, though it also works well with a mouse and basic touch controls. If you’re after a super-simple drawing app for your Surface Pro or another Surface device, you really can’t beat Microsoft Whiteboard. Microsoft Whiteboard isn’t ideal if your project requires a lot of text. This drawing app may be too simple for some adults.
