Anyone tried Thinkbook? Looks interesting.
Here's a nice feature of Remarks I just discovered: when you're writing in Zoom mode and make a mistake, you select the eraser to correct some. Once you stop erasing, a second later the Pen tool is automatically selected again, ready to continue. Saves one tap!
Doesn't work on fullscreen mode.
Wow, I've been asking for this in other apps in ages, I always said in zoom mode it should be short tap for one-off erase, long tap for permanent switch. It won't be as convenient in fullscreen mode cuz probably one might want to erase several parts.
Is there an app that can combine typed notes and handwritten notes/drawings on the same page?
Sometimes I want to type down notes and at the same time write down equations or draw molecule structures.

Notability is awesome. I use 7 Notes Premium HD also for the handwriting recognition if I need to convert to text. But mainly I use notability.
Does Remarks have an easily accessible Wrist Guard? If so, how is it enabled?
Once you go into Zoom mode (tap on the "+" at the bottom), you get a dedicated wrist guard area below the writing box. You can easily resize it by dragging a reference point up or down.
In regular full-page mode, in fact there is wrist protection all over - but only if you disable the Multitask Gestures in the General Preferences.
Thanks for the info. That sounds like a lot of work to simply bring up the wrist protection.
A lot of work? Let me rephrase, I may have been unclear the first time:
- the Zoom mode automatically brings up a wrist guard that covers about 1/3 of the screen by default. So far, I didn't need to resize it.
- the Plain mode simply works, as long as you keep the Multigesture preference unchecked. A small sacrifice for some, perhaps - but I can easily work my iPad without this option.
So, in the end, Remarks gives me a wrist guard with no extra work at all. Again sorry if my first description reflected otherwise.
if i open pdf in notability, can i search the pdf (the pdfs have been OCRed in computer using acrobat)?
I'm glad you figured it out. In plain mode, the wrist guard is indeed not visible - unlike in the zoom mode, where it's a grayed overlay area at the bottom of the screen.Ok. I tried it and you're right it really does work without the need to initiate the wrist guard. It just works! The wrist guard area is not visible, correct?
You can drag the bottom center black handle of the zoombox to resize the wrist guard area. In fact, what you do is redivide the height of the Zoom Area / Wrist Guard.You mentioned resizing the wrist guard..how is that accomplished?
I'm not sure I understand you here. Depending on what I'm working on, here's what I would typically do:Also, When I upload a PDF, where will it be viewable in Remarks? I tried uploading a PDF and it appeared to upload but I can't seem to find the PDF anywhere on my ipad.
So far, I haven't used the audio notes yet (new in Remarks since it's latest update). I've briefly tested the setup from your question with a Remarks file that syncs to Dropbox: after adding/removing 3 audio notes, the file size in the Dropbox location didn't change a bit - so I don't think the audio is becoming part of the pdf file. Also, there's no separate audio file anywhere. I may well ask the developer about this.Lastly, does Remarks sync audio notes along with the associated Note/PDF to DropBox? Or just the PDF? Notability has that capability and I like having that option.
