What it does
Paper is an iPhone and iPad app for sketching, painting and photo collage. It groups pages into journals that sync across devices. A free download provides the starting app, while an optional Paper Pro subscription adds tools, features and journals.
Keep related ideas in one journal. A page can combine drawing with several photos, which you can cut, move and arrange for a mood board or rough storyboard.
Paper uses gestures to keep the drawing area clear. Pro upgrades are available from Settings; subscriptions renew automatically unless renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends.
