Increase your productivity by connecting your notes, photos, and sketches with ease
What is it: An app for jotting down notes and ideas, alongside images and sketches.
Cost: Free
Devices: iOS
How is it of use to journalists?
Paper allows journalists to organise their thoughts and work, by letting users create a wall of sticky notes, filled with text, pictures and drawings.
The app will also prove useful when creating a post for Twitter or Facebook, as once completed, the sticky notes are saved as images, ready to be uploaded directly to social media.
By signing in with your email, Facebook account or Twitter details, you can take a tour around the app, or jump straight in to create your first note.
Users have the option to insert an image from their camera roll or take a photograph there and then, before adding sketches created with the multiple pen tools and writing accompanying text.
We especially like the app's ability to highlight a portion of a photograph, with a pen, zoom or blur effect – perfect when you are trying to showcase or demonstrate something to your audience.
