LectureNotes is an Android app for note-taking by handwriting on the screen, in particular with a stylus.
It is designed while having a user at university (or at school) in mind, for instance a lecturer who is using it for preparing her/his lecture or even for actual teaching (by writing on the device and projecting the screen content for the audience) or a student who is using it for taking handwritten notes during a lecture. However, it has found many users outside university, for instance businesspersons who use it for business notes and sales presentations or artists who use it to create sketches and drawings.
Its major target devices are tablets with Android 3.0 or later (it is developed on a Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet with an N-trig stylus, a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 with an S-pen, and an Asus Nexus 7, a Samsung Nexus 10, and an Amazon Kindle Fire HD with an Adonit Jot Pro and a Wacom Bamboo stylus). The basic functionality should work on all devices with Android 3.0 or later, but some which are hardware-dependent such as pressure sensitivity might not.
NOTE: This is a special version which is available as `app of the day´. It is fully functional but it will not receive updates.

    I have noticed on previous appoftheday apps that sometimes the app maker creates a "special" or alternative app for these events. One user mentioned that these special apps get less/no updates like the better known paid versions. I wonder how true this is. Anyone have some good information on this?

      Correct. This is because Google Play does not allow a free app to become a paid app. Source: I'm an Android developer.

      • Do you happen to know much about the updating of these apps? I mean, is this a luring technique which would later force the user to paying for the original paid app which is updated?

        • They can't make it into a paid app once it is free. I suppose they could screw you over by adding ads or removing functionality with an update as I've seen a developer do once.

      • I wonder if you can clarify another detail:

        I assume the special version will be deleted from the Play store when the 'free day' is over.

        But then usually when you purchase an app you can install it on your other devices or re-install it after a factory reset at any time in the future. Will that still be possible with a 'special app', even it it can not longer be found in the Play store?

        • If it has been removed you won't be able to download it from Google Play again on any device. If you want to keep it for after a factory reset or put it on another device use a backup program to extract the .apk and install it manually.

    So technically these are not app of the day, where an app is free for 24 hours only, but it's a special version that stays free forever.

    • No. I think the point is that the developer will remove it from Google Play after the promotion.

      • OK. I just saw some of these "special" apps that I got before but later uninstalled, are still available in my google play, and thought they're going to be there forever.

        I guess they are only available because I "purchased" them before.

        I wonder what happens to those ones which requires "appoftheday" promotion code. If they are later installed to a new device, will the code still work?

        • Those developers just haven't removed them I guess. I've noticed that a lot too.

          The code thing depends on how the developer has coded their app. Most of them probably won't work if you install the app again later.
