Strengths:
This app would be helpful in recording and saving lectures and/or demonstrations. If the note is to be longer than 5 minutes, an upgrade could be purchased.
Concerns:
This app does not have tools such as bullets, underlining, alignment, bold, etc. Landscape mode and more writing area would be helpful.
Ease of Use for Both Students and Faculty
Rating:
Strengths:
This program is fairly easy to use.
Concerns:
The buttons are very close together and can accidentally delete or stop recording. There was no searchable function on this app. It skips and is very sensitive when scrolling.
Other Issues and Comments:
This app needs some tweaking but for the most part is useful and can record as necessary.
