I think it will be useful @Bambino  I could use it myself at times...though mainly my handwriting is illegible wink Isnt it interesting that this is the second app I have read about today (developed by Google)

All this... and how coincidental it's at the same time Google are getting such a lot of bad press and being sued...Rolleys

Ummm.....i really don't understand the point of this app.

 

Surely it is much easier and quicker to construct a message via the keypad rather than writing out each word?

 

Also, why would you need to draw a smily face when you have them already to use?

On Google Play this is what they say about it....

Key features:
• A useful complement to touchscreen typing or voice input
• A fun way to enter emojis by drawing
• Useful for languages that can be challenging to type on a standard keyboard
• Works across your Android phones and tablets running Android 4.0.3 and up
• If you claim your handwriting is terrible, try it out and see if it can convince you otherwise

I've got it for a test but it does warn you the app will collect your passwords if you enter them, which leaves me a bit concerned.

 

I guess if you just use it for notes it would be fine.

I've used it for notes but its no quicker than using swype although it does actually recognise my bad handwriting. It has its uses in my opinion, for what that's worth.
