Top Rated Paper Alternatives
I can take notes on the fly, with my own handwriting and sketches to match however I take notes. Better than carrying around a notebook since I can erase and I can just use my finger if I forgot my pencil. Very vivid colors and many options to choose stroke size between brushes, pens, or pencil. Paint rollers added too, makes it great to use for artist sketches or as far as you can go with your own imagination! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If just using your finger, can be tough to get used to at first; there is a learning curve. But this is more of a limitation of hardware you have at your disposal, than it is a flaw of the app. Also, features are limited in free version, so you'll have to upgrade to pro and pay some real cash if you want more accessibility in the app. I only use basic features so I don't need it, but highly worth it for some artists or even architects on the go.

I enjoyed using paper to create collages and other works of art on my phone. I think Paper is a unique and fun creative outlet for drawing on the go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really enjoy the fountain pen and blending tools in Paper. They provide a distinct and realistic effect like you are putting paint to canvas. I wish that Paper did not require a paid subscription to use some of the other tools described in the tutorial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The UI feels very fresh and simplified. This app allows you to start doodling instantly, whatever is on your mind without worrying about different layers or customizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For the purpose it serves me, there is nothing much to dislike about this app. But maybe the UI for the colors could be modified a bit to add more real colors and palettes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I use it to keep any important notes I want to remember. I also use it to journal and to create poetry Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like that it does not correct spelling or punctuation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that you get to talk to real people to work your way through any assignments. I also like that they don't just give you the answer but they help you work through it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This is a great way for students to learn. Parents can also benefit from this I they need a little help with their child's assignments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like Paper’s simplicity. The feature set of drawing tools strikes a good balance of usability and flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At times, some functionality seems limited. Would like ability to add layers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The whole application, about how to organize, easily cut, and add pics and edit them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Paid properties. The monetization is bad and the app crashes sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The simplicity and intuitiveness are top-notch. The ability to quickly and easily switch tools, in particular the ability to quickly throw together charts, tables, and other blocks/shapes into a rough markup of a design makes the creative parts of a planning process flow smoothly. I appreciate the continued focus on adding in features only if the cognitive barrier to using those features stays low. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to take a sketch or markup and export it so that the elements remain editable vectors, rather than as a whole rasterized image, is very limiting within a workflow. The level of polish, while pretty good for a brainstorming tool, just doesn't cut it for anything other than whiteboarding. Paper is also fundamentally limited by its platform choice. iOS is great, and while this isn't a review of that platform, even as a daily driver of the platform I recognize that having Paper be truly cross-platform would radically transform its usefulness outside of very particular settings. Get this onto Android and Windows. Even better, get this into a full featured web-app. Give this the multi-user collaboration of Google Drawings, and see what a potential game changer it could be for planners and designers. Add in the ability to select out fully vectorized elements and take those into other applications for refinement or final presentation. Give us the next step.

I love the interface of FiftyThree Paper. The UI is stunning which appeals to my creative side. The tools are simple yet powerful and give me greater control on the graphic elements that I am able to add to notes and sketches. I am able to use my precision stylus with the program to allow me even more flexibility and creativity with the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really enjoy using this program but if I had one complaint it would be that adding typed text can be less than fluid. It is added as a note rather than directly within the page itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love the creativity aspect of this app. It is essential for creativity. I love the versatility of the product and how can brainstorm with other to really just get the creative juices flowing all at once. It is hands-down one of my favorite creative tools to use and colloborate with others iwth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike that you have to pay for the app. I wish there was a free version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best thing was the ability to show clients ideas & get their feedback almost instantly. Having this app on our iPad helped to make consultations & proposal meetings more effective Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The watercolor brush is a little less precise then I would have liked. Lack of zoom as well. I only used the free version Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
