Tired of typing on your iPhone? Stephanie Chu reviews three handwriting apps that might replace your notepad.
As much as we love our iPhones, let's face it - typing can sometimes be a pain, especially when trying to take notes that are longer than a text message. If you'd like to bring your handwriting back, you have options!
Use Your Handwriting has a free and paid version (Gold), and you can make slick handwritten lists with these apps. If you're looking to use your handwriting in long-form writing, we review Fast Finga, which integrates with email, Evernote, Twitter, and more!
In this episode, we also do a practicality test. Is handwriting really faster than typing on the iPhone's tiny keyboard?
