Skribl is a powerful vector drawing application. It was designed not only to be useful to artists and designers, but to anyone who might want to create graphics, logos and diagrams that can easily be transferred to and from other art applications, word processing programs such as Pages, or presentation applications such as Keynote. In fact, Skribl integrates with any program that accepts images by cut and paste through the system clipboard. You can also email images created in the application or transfer items back and forth using Dropbox. Files can be transferred in a variety of formats in SVG, PNG, JPG or Skribl's own lean format for re-editing.
While Skribl is a great stand alone tool, Skribl also aims be a central gathering place for assembling photos, word processing, or any other graphics images created in other creative applications as well.
One main component of Skribl is an area called Skribltips, which is designed to be your personal assistant in understanding and learning how to create with vector graphics. Skribltips will be developed to engage the user with useful tips or ideas, and will aim to be your forum for sharing ideas with other Skribl users.
Here are just a few of Skribl's highlights:
-easy intuitive user interface;
-quick delete key;

Skribl was developed upon the original source of Inkpad by developer Steve Sprang, which source can be found here: www.github.com/sprang/inkpad
The developer encourages others who wish learn more about coding, or those with knowledge of coding to contribute to the Inkpad open source project.
Even though Skribl 1.2 was a widely popular and well reviewed app, we still felt we could do better. So Skribl underwent major a major overhaul. The painting engine was redesigned from it's roots. Allowing for a more tactile and intuitive experience.
Tool behaviors have also been redesigned to feel more intuitive.
We are convinced that Skribl not only the most powerful vector app around, but also the most versatile and painterly vector experience available on the iPad.
We have also developed some unique vector tools that we believe do not exist anywhere else at this time.
We can't wait to hear what you think.
