    Too simplistic, almost no features. There's very little you can do, other than draw and type.

    best alternative so far for onenote that has handwritten notes. The OCR for handwritten text is also amazing. Better than onenote under some aspects, lacking of a couple of features under other aspects. Soon will come out for Windows and Android too!
