  • Apple features 'amazing' apps and games for iPad Pro in iOS App Store

    November 13th at 9:11am / AppleInsider / 0 opinions

    One day after launching its extra large iPad Pro, Apple is throwing a spotlight on apps that take advantage of the tablet's massive 12.9-inch Retina display, titles compatible with Apple Pencil, "desktop-class" software, games and more.

  • Paper 3 brings the Pencil to the iPhone

    September 10th at 6:09pm / The Verge / 0 opinions

    Despite protestations to the contrary, yesterday was not a happy day for FiftyThree. The small American company, which makes its money by selling an iPad stylus called the Pencil, saw Apple announce an iPad stylus also called the Pencil. The good news, though, is that FiftyThree had some advance warning about this incoming threat, having worked with Apple on making its Paper drawing app compatible with the new Pencil model. That's given the team time to consider its best response and, aside from aiming...

  • Paper for iPad updates its look for iOS 7 without selling out

    March 12th at 11:09pm / The Verge / 0 opinions

    FiftyThree today announced a small but important update to its popular Paper for iPad drawing app. Several months after the launch of iOS 7, the company is finally offering its own take on Apple's minimalist operating system. But instead of copying Apple's visual aesthetic by ditching its skeuomorphic journals or adding a vibrant new color scheme, FiftyThree has evolved its own style by drawing inspiration from iOS 7's functionalist aesthetic....

    It's no coincidence that the best and most popular apps frequently have striking and memorable icons. It might seem like just a colorful tile, but a good icon is critical piece of an app's design that has a huge effect on how people think about and interact with what's inside. Here's a rare look at how Apple thinks icons should look, straight from one of the company's design gurus....

  • Paper maker FiftyThree raises $15 million to build the Office suite of the future

    June 18th at 5:29pm / The Verge / 0 opinions

    A couple years ago, Microsoft vet Georg Petschnigg set out to redefine the way we draw, paint, and sketch on iPad. He assembled FiftyThree — a team of individuals — some of whom were left over from Microsoft’s scrapped Courier project, and began work on Paper. "We’ve just burned down our savings on this," he said, "to build tools we could use every day." Paper caught on, and was downloaded 1.5 million times in its first two weeks. Today, Paper has reached 8 million downloads and has been used to create...

  • One year in, Paper for iPad gains pinch-to-zoom, integrated gallery of popular creations

    May 9th at 12:49am / The Verge / 0 opinions

    FiftyThree today updated its app Paper for iPad to include pinch-to-zoom, one of the most requested features from users, and "Made With Paper," a wholly new section of the app dedicated to user creations. As it did with the "Rewind" undo feature and an ingenious color picker, FiftyThree sought to re-evaluate "zoom" to make it something more than simple pinch-to-zoom. Whereas most apps zoom in on an entire page, Paper's zoom instead focuses on a circle of content inside the larger piece of work you're...

  • 4chan creator Chris Poole draws a future where anyone can make art

    February 8th at 5:00pm / The Verge / 0 opinions

    chan creator Chris "moot" Poole spent two years building and refining Canvas, a family-friendly version of the massively successful 4chan, when he realized something was off. "90 percent of our users didn’t feel like they were at the level where they could make stuff on Canvas," Poole says. Whereas 4chan engagement stemmed from a very organic virality, Canvas’s "remix" culture perhaps felt a little forced....

  • Consumers pay the hidden costs for the 'free' app ecosystem

    January 8th at 9:49pm / The Verge / 0 opinions

    Time is money, and apps don’t last forever. You’re never going to get back the hours you spent Oinking that hip record shop in Williamsburg or Stamping the bars with the best absinthe martinis. The weeks you’ve spent carefully crafting that ‘Slow Jams’ playlist on Spotify binds you to it, and discourages you from switching to Rdio or Rhapsody at the bat of an eyelash. If Apple acquired Foursquare to supplement its lackluster Maps app, it could, in an instant, render void your hundreds or thousands of...

  • Hands-on with Paper 1.2.1: Colors and pressure support give drawings new life

    October 31st at 2:40pm / Macworld / 0 opinions

    In the months since its March release, FiftyThree’s Paper has become my go-to sketching app for doodling, planning, or quick drawings. I’ve used it to design my new apartment, create a few Twitter avatars, and sketch away a few Saturday afternoons. But the first iteration of Paper, as beautiful as it was, had its flaws: fixed brush sizes, limited color palettes, and no zoom. Wednesday’s 1.2.1 update, which brings both color mixing and support for the Pogo Connect pressure-sensitive Bluetooth stylus,...

    FiftyThree today launched version 1.2.1 of its popular drawing app Paper, the culmination of more than a year of studying color and how best to manipulate it, according to the company. Most importantly, Paper now includes a circular color mixer that lets you tap to pick a color (using RGB sliders, if you'd like), then swipe in a circle clockwise to mix colors and counter-clockwise to unmix. A long press lets you save the color you've made to one of the many black color slots the app now provides. Color...

    Nearly six months after launching Paper for iPad to much praise and fanfare, George Petschnigg still can't stop smiling. Our interview hasn't even begun and he's already spouting off the various ways his team has tightened up Paper to be easier and more intuitive for users. It's typical startup founder talk, except Petschnigg leads an unusual startup that has thus far delivered on its promises to build a great product. Ask him about money, and his tail drops between his legs as if he's ashamed, or...

    "Note-taking is to tablets what word processing is to PCs," Theory.io founder Peter Tamte says, "and there's a huge opportunity here to be the Microsoft Word of the tablet era." Tamte is obsessed with Evernote, and uses it every day for everything from note-taking to web-clipping to project management, but he always wanted something more — an app that can provide more context inside each note. "Digital clutter has replaced paper clutter," he says. Tamte today launched Projectbook: a notepad, a...

  • Why I Prefer the Featureless App

    July 18th at 1:00pm / Gizmodo / 0 opinions

    At some point recently I realized the bulk of the apps I actually use on a daily basis are very simple. They don't have a lot of features and they don't have a lot of customization options. It turns out the featureless apps provide a system that works well for me. Two years ago our own Adam Pash talked about "everything bucket" apps, aka, the apps where you're supposed to throw every thought into them. A lot has changed since then, but feature bloat is still common. Now, nearly every major service is...

    FiftyThree's excellent drawing app Paper just got a little bit better.

    Like Tapose, which made its debut on the iPad yesterday, Paper is a place to store ideas. But unlike the former—which is backed by former Microsoft honcho J. Allard—the latter is more sketchbook than scrapbook, and comes from a group of individuals who once worked on the now-defunct Courier project. Paper is not only brimming with ideas on how an app like this should be used on an iPad, it's full of ideas on how we should interact with the iPad in general. In this regard, it's much like the to-do...
