Paper App Review (iPad)

Posted on by Posted in Tech .

There are tons of intricate and simple drawing apps available in the App store and I’ve tried a couple of them. But when Paper by FiftyThree made its debut it was an instant hit. Its popularity has died down a bit on social networking sites like Twitter but it still remains a favorite in my book.

What Paper by FiftyThree offers iPad users:

  1. A free app
  2. Simplicity
  3. The on screen “paper” aspect of this app truly feels as if you are drawing on tangible paper
  4. Basic colors
  5. One free drawing pen but offers four other styles of pen for a price of $1.99
  6. Slick hand gestures, for example: pinching in and out to close notebooks
  7. Several notebooks with ability to alter cover photo
  8. Works best with stylus pen
  9. Sharing options to Tumblr, Facebook, and Twitter

This app makes even the worst artist’s drawing look fantastic. It has something to do with the strokes and movements that Paper allow you to work with. With this app you can quickly take notes or if you are a serious artist then Paper is the right drawing app for you. It’s beautiful and definitely worth the download.

Paper by FiftyThree is available in the app store for free. Also, check out the cinematic review below.

Posted on by Posted in Lifestyle, Tech .

Who could top the quality of Apple’s innovative mobile devices? The corporate giant of technology has recently outdone itself as its newest iPad and Apple TV products were showcased last Wednesday, March 7th. In both gadgets, the common new feature is upgraded visual quality; both supporting 1080p. In quite the literal sense, these are unlike anything you have seen before!

The new iPad is designed with state-of-the-art “Retina display” resolution quality. The graphic resolution is 2048×1536 pixels. Take a moment to calculate that and it’s a staggering 3.1 million pixel quality at the most with 264 pixels per inch! This makes the iPad ideal for reading character-based texts such as the Japanese or Chinese written languages. It also comes equipped with a new 5-megapixel iSight camera, operational with autofocus, face detection, and advanced optics with IR filter. Color saturation is enhanced by forty-four percent, presenting gorgeous viewing quality of images. Video recording is greatly improved with video stabilization. Overall, the newdevice maintains four times the graphic performance of the previous generations thanks to a A5X quad core graphics system. Other great iPad features include compatability with the next generation of wireless activity. Uploading and downloading information will be instantaneous with a new 4G LTE feature. Its voice dictation application can now support the English dialects of the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, along with French, Spanish, and Japanese languages. IPad models are available in black and white, and prices run at $499 USD for a wifi model, and $629 USD for LTE.

Apple CEO Tim Cook exclaims of the new Apple TV, “[Its] quality is off the charts,” This device is also manufactured with 1080p, creating for beautiful quality picture. A navigational bar has been added to the top of the screen for simpler routing to other menus. It is also compatable with third-party apps like Netflix, YouTube, Vimeo and even some sports networks like the MLB, NBA and NHL! ICloud connectivity is improved with this model, and, just like the last one, it’s only $99 USD.
Both products ship on March 16th. Pre-buy one today from the online Apple store!
