Bamboo Paper turns smartphones, iPads and tablets into a digital notebook. The Wacom app is free, but you’ve to pay for its premium features. Here is how to get them FREE… but only for a limited time.

Whether you need to share some notes or quickly explain something through a sketch, like a new light setting you tried in your studio, tools like Bamboo paper, from Wacom, make it easy to not only create but also share online those ideas. Now more than ever, tools that allow to share new ideas or complex thoughts while staying home are crucial. What used to be a scribbled on a whiteboard or written on a sticky note by teams working face-to-face, now needs to be shared to virtual teams by email.

Bamboo Paper, along with a Wacom stylus or the Wacom One pen display, can enable easy digital sharing without the need to scan, or recreate in typed words. The app is also perfect to use with Wacom’s Bamboo Ink or Ink+ accessory digital pens that work with a wide range of pen-enabled PCs, Wacom One or Cintiq creative pen displays or Wacom Intuos or Intuos Pro tablets.

But Bamboo Paper can also turn smartphones, iPads and tablets into a digital notebook. And that may be all you need to start sharing ideas with your team mates and friends. Bamboo Paper is so easy to use that sketching, drawing and taking notes becomes as simple and straightforward as using pen on paper or a marker on a whiteboard. Bamboo Paper is available for Android, iOS and Windows and can be downloaded for free on the respective app stores.

Aware that many people are now working and collaborating from home, and that the Work From Home concept is here to stay, Wacom decided to offer the premium features of its Bamboo Paper software for free.  In these times where people are adjusting to working, learning and teaching from home, the popular sketch and note taking app gives them more easy-to-use options to communicate, take notes, express themselves creatively and bring their visual thinking quickly online.
