FiftyThree’s Paper App Review

After seeing so many reviews complaining about the pricing model, I just had to write one. I’m wondering why many people are thinking they’re entitled to having this well-designed, well executed-drawing app, for free? There are so many free alternatives, and you get what you pay for.

It runs very smoothly on my iPad 2. Scrolling through the notebook covers and being able to specify your own covers is a delight. The free, starter pen app in itself is so much fun to use. I’m by no means an artist, but the simplest doodles look great.

The app’s brush engine picks up the speed in which you execute a stroke, giving you a range of thinks and thins in a single motion. There are several other tools that cost $2 each to purchase, but the app lets you try them out a bit before committing. There’s a bundled pack that lets you get everything for $8, which seems fair to me.

The water color brush’s dynamics are pretty nifty. It’s a pretty genuine looking effect, and you can blend the colors pretty convincingly. What I would have liked to see is the ability to adjust brush sizes. Particularly for the water brush, as trying to flood a whole page with color takes a bit when your brush is only the size as the tip of your finger.

All in all, great free base app, and $8 well spent on the additional features. Though, I’m hoping any future enhancements are fair (or free, even) for customers who’ve already invested in the app.

  • Amy Winehouse - A Song For You This is bound to go down as the most controversial. Salaam was even moved to rubbish tabloid reports that Amy’s cracked voice suggests she was inebriated while recording - “she never was in my presence,” he said. Instead, he remembered a day in 2009 when she’d just put a studio into her home. In a candid moment, she goes to a computer and starts spontaneously learning the tabs to this song by Donny Hathaway, famously her favourite artist. She stars to cry as she learns the song, the intimate vocal flits in and out and cracks. It’s Amy at her most vulnerable yes, by the end she sounds almost broken, but rarely deeper into the song. And then the album ends with another spontaneous break, this time an enthusiastic one, with words that will resonate in hearts all over the world: “Donny Hathaway, he couldn’t contain himself. He had something in him, you know?” (via NME)

  • Nuttin’ But Strings - Broken Sorrow The band was formed in 2004 in New York City, New York, U.S. Teenage brothers, Tourie Escobar and Damien Escobar are a true phenomenon of our musical age. They combine the classical sound of the violin with Pop, R&B and Hip-hop. The result is a unique and uplifting fury of modern emotion and harmony… intensity and rhythm. Younger brother Damien says, “We play our violins so hard and with such force that we destroy a bow a show!” (via Last.FM) When I want the drama to be enhanced, exponentially so.

  • Does It Offend You, Yeah? - With a Heavy Heart (I Regret to Inform You) New Nike+ power song, handed to me by @slumberdept today during our motion class. A lot of the times recently I just need some music that has repetitive baselines that blast in your ear, minimal lyrics, and ‘lose your shit’ crazy climax that starts to builds up at 2:45 (Oh Mah Gawd!)
