Penultimate – A must have app for the iPhone and iPad

So yesterday I shared with you one of my secret weapons that really helps me with efficiency, Livescribe.  Today I thought I would share a quick app that I find so useful that it is one that I use almost daily on my iPad.

The app is Penultimate made by www.cocoabox.com.  I happen to be using version 3.3.1  .  This app allows you to create several different notebooks with as many pages in them as you need.  You need a stylus to write and in the settings there are several things you can do to make it more geared at the way you write so your hand doesn’t make marks accidentally.  You can choose from several different types of paper, different color pens and best of all, one of the most convenient things is being able to import a picture to a single page, add notes and at the tap of a button email them to someone.

Here is a quote that I wanted to save to be able to use again, so I snapped a picture and for this example emailed it to myself – normally I would just keep it in a notebook that I can label “quotes”.

This comes across as an image file.  There are options to email a page or an entire notebook.  If you were at a clients office and wanted to take a photo, add some notes then send to your design person – perfect !
