One app, a world of different note types.

If you're someone who uses your iPad and Apple Pencil to take notes you really ought to take Penbook for a spin.

There is no shortage of note-taking apps in the App Store and plenty of them are built for use alongside an Apple Pencil. But Penbook comes with almost 1,000 different types of stationery to ensure that there is one that's perfectly suited to your needs. Looking for ruled or graph paper? Penbook has it. Something more specialist like chemistry or perspective paper? No problem!

Some examples of the types of stationary offered include:

• Blank stationery, with an optional date and configurable margin
• Ruled paper with variable density

Penbook even supports something called Live Paper, with dynamic stationery that uses the "smarts of your iPad" to add data that your iPad already knows. Your iPad has the date and time, for example, and Penbook can automatically enter that data when you want it to.

While there are apps that let you draw and write with an Apple Pencil already, Penbook offers such a huge collection of paper options that it's unlikely you won't find the one that fits your needs — no matter how special they are. If you're looking for the best iPad app for taking notes you should at least take Penbook for a spin.

Penbook is a free download from the App Store and you can grab it right now. An optional annual subscription is available with additional functionality, too.
