It features an assortment of elegant color palettes, realistic inks, and useful papers for helping the note making on Windows 8, 8.1 or 10.
Letting the users tweak the smoothening level for legible beautiful handwriting it helps see pages with ease of navigation.The app though still in nascent stages derives its inspiration from some of its current peers on market as OneNote and Paper. Its USP is "handwriting beautification" technology which allows the userâs handwriting to appear more legible. Incorporating the feature of Unlimited Notebooks it also permits to add pictures ,trace, highlight, and annotate imported image files further aiding toâ organize ideas, notes, and writing in the notebooks.
The app still being in experimental stages is prone to face some bugs and glitches; however it remains a very close approximation of a notebook and pencil writing. Plumbago is available to be downloaded for free from the Microsoft Garage site and the Windows Store.
