woisme 2 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I use the ipad 2 with Penultimate and Evernote and love it. Just got the Nexus 7 for my son and my father. They both already use Evernote for different reasons and I am hoping that either Penultimate comes over to Android or that anyone can suggest a good alternative on Android and Nexus 7.

I hope that your son and father are enjoying the Nexus 7. I don't think that Evernote staff will release information about their roadmap. You can infer an answer to your question, though, from this position advertised on their website http://evernote.com/careers/job.php?job=o5apWfwk I wish that I knew of a good alternative. I have never had much luck with handwriting on Android, but it seems that the device I used in the past had a bad reputation for handwriting support, so I am hoping i will have a better experience with the Nexus 7. I'll update this thread if I come across anything. Your son and father should know, though, that Google Play has a 15 minute grace period between downloading an app and being charged for the purchase (something Apple ought to have!), so they can try anything they would like.

I never knew, thank you. I hope I can find the right balance that I have on my ipad with Penultimate and Evernote. I'll report back if I find something too. Link to comment

I will have to give it a try. I am happy to say that two apps I already have (Antipaper Notes and FreeNote) are working really well for me on the Nexus 7. I would say that in terms of basic functionality, they work as well as any app on the iPad, but I will have to use them a lot more before I get a sense of their capabilities. They both have the "zoom" feature, and I especially like how this is accomplished with FreeNote. Link to comment
gchamberlin 17 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 You might take a look at 7Notes. I use it on my Kindle Fire. The handwriting recognition is really pretty good, even if you are just using your finger instead of a stylus. Notes can be saved directly to Evernote (or sent out by e-mail or twitter, facebook etc). Its clearly not as rich a program as Penultimate is (at least from what I see on itunes - I'm not an iPad user) but its met my meager needs. Currently $.99 in Amazon Apps store. Imagine its the same in Google Play. I use the ipad 2 with Penultimate and Evernote and love it. Just got the Nexus 7 for my son and my father.

I have found 7Notes to be a pretty good app on the iPad as well (I wrote a brief review here http://www.princeton.edu/~cmayo/reviewhandwriting.html). However, looking on Google Play, it appears there is a free trial version that has Japanese support (at least, everything is written in Japanese). For me, this would be a huge benefit. Thanks for pointing me here Link to comment
