Well the app received an update today, bringing it to version 1.1. It includes a handful of new additions and features, and the [...]
Paper, a new iPad sketch app, launched last night with quite a bang. That’s not surprising when you consider it has a gorgeous UI, and the fact that many of its creators are ex-Microsoft employees, who once worked on the infamous Courier project.
