Sketchbook mobile on a Galaxy Note 8.0

In between taking notes, i switched apps to browser and twitter. Much to my frustration, just when i had a full page of sketchnotes, after switching back from the browser i lost the entire page! There was no indication that the app crashed, all the content just vanished. I at first thought i had done something to delete everything so i created a new document to take notes for thd next session. I tried app switching and retained the content inthe beginning but again once my page had more sketches on it, the page cleared when i switched back from anothee app.

Quite frustrating, but im not so sure whethe its a sketchbook issue or an android one. Will continue testing but i think for now, i will stick to pen and paper for my more important notes.

I am patiently waiting for the Thinkpad helix to come out. At least with a windows machine, it should have true multitasking. Its a shame though, i really like the size of the note 8.0. Will continue to test it out with other sketch apps too and see if there are any better ones.

 

Update: was able to replicate and take a video. I also was able to replicate on my husband’s device. At first I was switching between chrome and sketchbook but For some reason, it happened only when I added twitter into the mix. I also tried with sketchbook for galaxy note but it didn’t seem to be exhibiting the same behavior.
