My quest to find a digital replacement for my much loved Moleskine + Leuchtturm notebooks took me on a journey a few years ago to research and settle on the closest thing to real paper + pen + to go quasi-paperless. In the end, I settled on Noteshelf (Classic) and now Noteshelf2

I would absolutely recommend Noteshelf to anyone responsible for running a business. Meeting notes, brainstorming, ideas, etc are essential. Noteshelf gives me the ability to capture all of those items and get them into Evernote where I can access them anytime, anywhere. It's all part of my paperless philosophy

I think I have downloaded or bought nearly every note-taking and sketching app available because I’ve been on a quest to find one that has intuitive controls, handwriting recognition, a strong set of sketching tools, and the ability to export in numerous formats. One of my sketchnoting friends on twitter said something a few months ago about Noteshelf and it immediately became a home screen app on my iPad.

The top 3 best features [of Noteshelf] are:(1) natural writing feel - it's almost as if I'm writing using a classic ink pen(2) impressive drawing possibilities  and(3) I can easily use it for work.

Pasquale DE LUCAManager @ Rolls Royce, Italy

I started with Noteshelf because from my youngest days I have loved writing in a fountain pen, and Noteshelf reproduces that miles better than any other product on the market, and without any lag. It was and still is the fastest and nicest writing experience.

Very complete! It is a really versatile and pragmatic application, easy to use and one of the best I have ever tried, when it comes to notes apps.

[Translated] I started using handwritten iPad application Noteshelf from today. I started using handwritten notes with a special pen. Easily paste photos, easy pictograms. You can mail as it is. Impressive! With this, I have concluded that paper notes are not needed at all for me.

I use Noteshelf for creating my storyboards. Compared to the others I tried, I liked Noteshelf's responsiveness. I don't own a fancy stylus (indie director, remember?). Despite that, there's no discernible lag when sketching.

I think an engaged community is key! The team behind Noteshelf 2 does listen to the voice of the community and compared to other note-taking app companies, they are very transparent in regards of their development plans.

Tom SolidFounder #PaperlessMovement

When I see my friends using an iPad, I always recommend this app. For me, Noteshelf is essential for iPad users. This is one of the most important apps that I have, my iPad can get lost but not Noteshelf, I have so many notes in it!

I noticed how fluid and accurate writing on Noteshelf is and I soon discovered that it is also excellent for drawing. It gives crisp results which are easy to share on email or social media.
