Sometimes I think of an idea that's easier to draw than to describe in words, so I was looking for an app that would let me do that. Simple drawings (preferably on a canvas larger than the screen) that I could save and email.
I have a notepad app on my iPod Touch that's simple and quick. Surely, there's something similar but for sketches and diagrams.
Simple and quick, that's how I thought it would be to find this little app. But no, I spent the evening searching and might have found a satisfactory app.
When I'm looking for a specific kind of app, my usual method goes like this:
1. Go to the app store, directly from my iPod Touch.
2. Search keywords.
3. Check reviews for any app with more than 3 stars. (My level of optimism determines how far down I scroll before trying new keywords.) See if the pros outweigh the cons. (If I don't find a suitable app by searching, I browse categories.)
4. Download a free app (or free "lite" version) with high ratings and good reviews.
5a. If it does what I want, keep it. Possibly upgrade to the paid version at some point.
5b. If it doesn't do what I want, delete it. Go to step 4.
I looked at several apps and saw lots of complaints. For example:
Doodle Buddy crashes.
Inkflow only has a black pen and no eraser (but there is an Undo button).
Sketchpad has too many ads.
DrawCast isn't updating.
Whiteboard lags.
Then my own grumbles...
I had to muddle through all the drawing and doodling games. I don't want anything with neon/glowing effects. No kiddy sound effects. I don't need anything social.
What I want is a large blank canvas, a few different colors, an eraser, the ability to save and send images, and positive reviews.
It was too much to ask.
And then I had an idea. Sharpie might have an app. How perfect would that be? Digital Sharpies and a sketchbook. It seems too good to be true.
It is.
