Paper by FiftyThree - Sketch, Diagram, Take Notes

За такие даже заплатить не жалко.

На этой неделе Apple назвала своих лауреатов уходящего года в App Store. Приложением 2015 года стало Enlight, а финалистами Periscope, Pacemaker, Spark и Darkroom. Всего в список лучших попало 25 приложений.

Компания традиционно подвела итоги и определила победителей в двух категориях.

One day after launching its extra large iPad Pro, Apple is throwing a spotlight on apps that take advantage of the tablet's massive 12.9-inch Retina display, titles compatible with Apple Pencil, "desktop-class" software, games and more.

Три альтернативы дорогому аксессуару.

В этой рубрике продолжаем искать для вас приложения, которые стоит скачать каждому.

Despite protestations to the contrary, yesterday was not a happy day for FiftyThree. The small American company, which makes its money by selling an iPad stylus called the Pencil, saw Apple announce an iPad stylus also called the Pencil. The good news, though, is that FiftyThree had some advance warning about this incoming threat, having worked with Apple on making its Paper drawing app compatible with the new Pencil model. That's given the team time to consider its best response and, aside from aiming...

The updated Paper feels much more like a productivity app than a sketchbook.

FiftyThree's popular sketching app comes to the iPhone at long last—and learns a few new tricks along the way.

Студия FiftyThree, создавшая приложение Paper и стилус Pencil для iPad, отменила все встроенные в редактор покупки и приложение стало абсолютно бесплатным. Изначально FiftyThree предлагала Paper бесплатно, но ряд инструментов в нем традиционно продавался за деньги. Все они стоили 8 долларов, потом их цену снизили вдвое, а в последнем обновлении вообще сделали бесплатными. Предлагаем вам обзор Paper от Apptraktor.

This week's list includes SwiftKey's latest update, an eye-tracking app to help improve your concentration and an app to help Windows Phone users customize their home screen.

Вы умеете рисовать? Вы умеете рисовать карандашом, фломастером и кистью? А хотите попробовать нечто новое – рисовать пальцем… на планшете? Если на все эти вопросы вы ответили «да», то вам определенно стоит обратить внимание на функциональное приложение Paper by FiftyThree. Тем более, что теперь все инструменты в программе полностью бесплатные.

Когда в 2012 году приложение для рисования Paper, было признано лучшим приложением для iPad, мне не удалось удержаться, чтобы проверить его в деле. Но, поскольку талантами художника автор явно обделен, то достигнуть каках-то более менее приличных результатов не удалось. Тогда мне казалось, что мешают очень толстые пальцы, не позволяющие воплотить на экране свой замысел. Решил приобрести стилус, самый обычный. И все равно не помогло. Программа отправилась в корзину.

Art-minded app and hardware developer FiftyThree on Tuesday announced it will be adding an iOS 8-exclusive feature to the "Paper" drawing app that lets users of the company's "Pencil" stylus change the characteristics of a drawn line by modifying how they hold the tool.

I’m a big fan of FiftyThree’s Paper app for free-form sketching, drawing, and even note-taking. You can do quite a lot with this relatively simplistic drawing program, and I’ve been using it as my primary doodle pad for quite some time....

FiftyThree today announced a small but important update to its popular Paper for iPad drawing app. Several months after the launch of iOS 7, the company is finally offering its own take on Apple's minimalist operating system. But instead of copying Apple's visual aesthetic by ditching its skeuomorphic journals or adding a vibrant new color scheme, FiftyThree has evolved its own style by drawing inspiration from iOS 7's functionalist aesthetic....

Two popular iOS apps received updates on Monday, with WhatsApp getting a makeover more consistent with iOS 7's "flat" design aesthetic, while drawing app Paper prepares for its new Pencil stylus.

It's no coincidence that the best and most popular apps frequently have striking and memorable icons. It might seem like just a colorful tile, but a good icon is critical piece of an app's design that has a huge effect on how people think about and interact with what's inside. Here's a rare look at how Apple thinks icons should look, straight from one of the company's design gurus....

Marking the fifth anniversary of the iPhone App Store, Apple has sent a poster to members of the press marking the many milestones the digital download destination has seen over its first half-decade.

A couple years ago, Microsoft vet Georg Petschnigg set out to redefine the way we draw, paint, and sketch on iPad. He assembled FiftyThree — a team of individuals — some of whom were left over from Microsoft’s scrapped Courier project, and began work on Paper. "We’ve just burned down our savings on this," he said, "to build tools we could use every day." Paper caught on, and was downloaded 1.5 million times in its first two weeks. Today, Paper has reached 8 million downloads and has been used to create...

Сегодня завершился отсчет 50 млрд загрузок магазина приложений App Store. Имя пользователя, совершившего знаменательную загрузку, пока не названо. Он получит подарочную карту на сумму $10 000. С окончанием отсчета на домашней странице сайта Apple появилась надпись «Спасибо» — в знак признательности всем пользователям, благодаря которым был достигнут новый рубеж.

Paper by FiftyThree received an update on Wednesday with the addition of a few new features and backend enhancements, including a much-needed pinch-to-zoom feature that allows artists to quickly make detailed refinements to a piece.

FiftyThree today updated its app Paper for iPad to include pinch-to-zoom, one of the most requested features from users, and "Made With Paper," a wholly new section of the app dedicated to user creations. As it did with the "Rewind" undo feature and an ingenious color picker, FiftyThree sought to re-evaluate "zoom" to make it something more than simple pinch-to-zoom. Whereas most apps zoom in on an entire page, Paper's zoom instead focuses on a circle of content inside the larger piece of work you're...

chan creator Chris "moot" Poole spent two years building and refining Canvas, a family-friendly version of the massively successful 4chan, when he realized something was off. "90 percent of our users didn’t feel like they were at the level where they could make stuff on Canvas," Poole says. Whereas 4chan engagement stemmed from a very organic virality, Canvas’s "remix" culture perhaps felt a little forced....

Time is money, and apps don’t last forever. You’re never going to get back the hours you spent Oinking that hip record shop in Williamsburg or Stamping the bars with the best absinthe martinis. The weeks you’ve spent carefully crafting that ‘Slow Jams’ playlist on Spotify binds you to it, and discourages you from switching to Rdio or Rhapsody at the bat of an eyelash. If Apple acquired Foursquare to supplement its lackluster Maps app, it could, in an instant, render void your hundreds or thousands of...

Редакция AppStudio выбрала 7 лучших программ года в App Store: Clear, Google Maps, iTranslate Voice, Launch Center Pro, NARR8, Paper и Tweetbot для iPad. Теперь мы предлагаем нашим читателям определить приложение-победителя.

Нельзя однозначно сказать, что 2012 год запомнился пользователям революционными мобильными приложениями. Мы не увидели взлёта новых сервисов вроде Instagram или Dropbox, все нововведения были скорее постеленной эволюцией, однако результат этой эволюции не может не радовать. 2012 год можно смело назвать годом интерфейсов — разработчики смогли окончательно отойти от морально устаревших концепций...

This holiday season, you've plugged that very important hole in your life — the one between your smartphone and your computer. Whether it's the 9.7-inch iPad or the new 7.9-inch iPad mini, you're now in possession of a device that not only has a great screen and a fast processor, but one that gains you access into one of the best app stores on the planet. The iOS App Store has an incredible number of great apps and games, but the best ones can be hard to find among the huge selection. Of course you...

With the end of 2012 comes the end to thousands of app releases this year. And out of everything we’ve seen over the past twelve months, we’ve narrowed our list of favorites down to present to you the most beautiful iOS apps of 2012....

Учитывая десятки тысяч приложений, выходящих на iOS каждый год, бывает легко пропустить в череде скучноватых программ пару настоящих бриллиантов. Сегодня сами редакторы Apple показали нам, что они считают лучшими приложениями подходящего к концу 2012 года.

Apple on Thursday published a list highlighting some of the best content available on its broad array of storefronts, including the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBookstore.

The iPad may be an unexpected platform for making art with paper, but the folks at Pixle are betting there are people who want to use their iPad for creation. That’s why they made Foldify, a simple, easy-to-use app for creating papercraft art.

Пока Autodesk уже который месяц судорожно пытается избавить Sketchbook Ink от багов, FiftyThree без всякой суеты добавляет в Paper одну новую возможность за другой. В сентябре была проведена серьёзная работа по упорядочиванию зарисовок. Теперь разработчики вновь обратились непосредственно к редактору и даже добавили совершенно новый инструмент....

Continuing to add to its impressive sketching and illustration app Paper, FiftyThree has pushed an update of its iPad app with a focus on ‘Color’, adding four new impressive features as a result....

In the months since its March release, FiftyThree’s Paper has become my go-to sketching app for doodling, planning, or quick drawings. I’ve used it to design my new apartment, create a few Twitter avatars, and sketch away a few Saturday afternoons. But the first iteration of Paper, as beautiful as it was, had its flaws: fixed brush sizes, limited color palettes, and no zoom. Wednesday’s 1.2.1 update, which brings both color mixing and support for the Pogo Connect pressure-sensitive Bluetooth stylus,...

FiftyThree today launched version 1.2.1 of its popular drawing app Paper, the culmination of more than a year of studying color and how best to manipulate it, according to the company. Most importantly, Paper now includes a circular color mixer that lets you tap to pick a color (using RGB sliders, if you'd like), then swipe in a circle clockwise to mix colors and counter-clockwise to unmix. A long press lets you save the color you've made to one of the many black color slots the app now provides. Color...

Here’s a neat, well-deserved win for a startup company: Paper, the critically acclaimed drawing application for iPad is now being featured by Apple on iPad demo units in its retail stores, and now has over 3.3 million downloads, with 25 million pages of drawings created by users. The time spent in-app creating Color journals adds up to almost 200 years in total.

На презентацию iPad 3-го поколения Apple пригласила двух парней из Autodesk, чтобы те представили рисовалку Sketchbook Ink. Анонс прошёл гладко, но когда приложение появилось на виртуальных полках App Store, в нём обнаружилось так много багов, что Apple наверняка пожалела об эксклюзивном показе в рамках своего мероприятия. И ведь была же достойная альтернатива! Была программа Paper, которую на момент презентации тоже вовсю готовили к релизу. Paper вышла за несколько недель до Sketchbook Ink и сразу...

Nearly six months after launching Paper for iPad to much praise and fanfare, George Petschnigg still can't stop smiling. Our interview hasn't even begun and he's already spouting off the various ways his team has tightened up Paper to be easier and more intuitive for users. It's typical startup founder talk, except Petschnigg leads an unusual startup that has thus far delivered on its promises to build a great product. Ask him about money, and his tail drops between his legs as if he's ashamed, or...

"Note-taking is to tablets what word processing is to PCs," Theory.io founder Peter Tamte says, "and there's a huge opportunity here to be the Microsoft Word of the tablet era." Tamte is obsessed with Evernote, and uses it every day for everything from note-taking to web-clipping to project management, but he always wanted something more — an app that can provide more context inside each note. "Digital clutter has replaced paper clutter," he says. Tamte today launched Projectbook: a notepad, a...

At some point recently I realized the bulk of the apps I actually use on a daily basis are very simple. They don't have a lot of features and they don't have a lot of customization options. It turns out the featureless apps provide a system that works well for me. Two years ago our own Adam Pash talked about "everything bucket" apps, aka, the apps where you're supposed to throw every thought into them. A lot has changed since then, but feature bloat is still common. Now, nearly every major service is...

Kicking off this week’s must-have apps roundup is a beautifully simple timer app for the iPhone that could mean you never need to set timers manually again. There’s also a terrific app for beaming your photographs to almost any display — without additional hardware or software. Plus lots more.

FiftyThree's excellent drawing app Paper just got a little bit better. The update to version 1.0.23 isn't a huge overhaul, but comes with a couple of tweaks to improve both the creation and sharing of your pictures. The first addition is the ability to export multi-page PDFs of your sketchbooks to other applications or email. This works much like the sharing functionality built into Android, giving you a simple list of compatible apps that can open PDF files — on our iPad, the feature worked with...

Paper, the hugely popular iPad drawing app by FiftyThree, just got a new update that finally allows you to export your sketches as PDF documents, and introduces an increased “Rewind” history.

At the Art Of Apps gallery event in New York City last week, seven apps were projected on TV screens to display the best user interfaces iOS has to offer. In front of each screen were the creators and designers behind apps like Paper, Mixel, Tweetbot, Piictu, Path, and the upcoming Cameo. The event was curated by Khoi Vinh, one-time designer for nytimes.com, founder of iPad collage app Mixel, and influential design blogger at subtraction.com. Even the event website, built using Splash, a new tool for...

Paper is a sketching and drawing app from the ex-Microsoft folks behind the Courier project. Today, they’ve announced that Paper has seen 1.5M downloads, with some 7 million pages of…

The iPad gets a bad rap as a device designed specifically for consumption. After all, its main purpose is to keep you connected to the world. Despite that, the iPad has risen up as a creativity tool and serves as an integral part in many people's toolkit. To get an idea of when these devices are being used, we talked with a cadre of creative types to find out not just how they're using iPads to make things, but why. Despite early claims that the iPad was primarily a consumption device, app developers...

Like Tapose, which made its debut on the iPad yesterday, Paper is a place to store ideas. But unlike the former—which is backed by former Microsoft honcho J. Allard—the latter is more sketchbook than scrapbook, and comes from a group of individuals who once worked on the now-defunct Courier project. Paper is not only brimming with ideas on how an app like this should be used on an iPad, it's full of ideas on how we should interact with the iPad in general. In this regard, it's much like the to-do...
