LectureNotes is an Android app for note-taking by handwriting on the screen, in particular with a stylus.

It is designed while having a user at university (or at school) in mind, for instance a lecturer who is using it for preparing her/his lecture or even for actual teaching (by writing on the device and projecting the screen content for the audience) or a student who is using it for taking handwritten notes during a lecture. However, it has found many users outside university, for instance businesspersons who use it for business notes and sales presentations or artists who use it to create sketches and drawings.

Its major target devices are tablets with Android 3.0 or later (it is developed on a Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet with an N-trig stylus, a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 with an S-pen, and an Asus Nexus 7, a Samsung Nexus 10, and an Amazon Kindle Fire HD with an Adonit Jot Pro and a Wacom Bamboo stylus). The basic functionality should work on all devices with Android 3.0 or later, but some which are hardware-dependent such as pressure sensitivity might not.

NOTE: This is the free trial version, in which the number of notebooks is constrained to two, with no more than eight pages per notebook.

If you encounter a problem with the app, please report it to me by email (devel [a] acadoid.com), I will do my very best to fix it quickly. The same applies to suggestions and feature requests, please send them to me by email.

    The app is really good. I have only one suggestion for the "velocity sensitive" function. If the option is selected, the pen width can be controlled by writing velocity. That's a good idea to simulate the real writing situation, but I met the problem whe

    I am trying to use an imported image as a backdrop. Either an alpha setting for images or an entire layer would be useful.

    But here are some problems I found out while drawing sketches. first the eraser is acting like a marker that deletes things after I release the pen.The eraser should erase while I erase the drawing, instead of erasing when I release the pen. There should

    I like the spacing and complete control of pages, notebooks, etc, however the eraser end of my S Pen with eraser inputs as a pen and not an eraser. Would have considered getting full version if my eraser end would work, but doesn't, so sticking with S

    This is a very good app but I cannot justify paying for this app when it is clearly less intuitive than s note. I hope the developer continues to improve this app. For now I will continue to use s note which is much more intuitive and useful for me. I'll
