Questions for Handrite Note App users

[tabletnovice]

I downloaded this app and love it for jotting down quick notes. Been using my finger but it is kind of awkward. I'm wondering if I should get a stylus.

If you use this app, do you use a stylus and, if so, what type/size of nib? I've read some of the reviews at this site but have no idea which one to get. I've never used a stylus.

In reading the reviews of this app in the GooglePlay store, someone wrote: "My only complaint is that it would be nice to have settings to get the app to ignore my hand (safe zone or something) since I use a stylus."

Does your hand interfere when using a stylus with Handrite Note?

Thank you.

Oy, I thought I'd have a few insights about this problem. Maybe I asked the question wrong. I'd like to know what type of Stylus will work with handwriting apps on the Nexus 7. Thanks!

Anybody????

You haven't gotten many responses because it is such a common question that it has a million results on Google.

Best capacitive stylus is the Boxwave with the fabric tip. Capacitive styluses aren't great in general, but this one is by far the best I've used. It is a ripoff of the iFaraday, but it costs less.

I've used a Targus and Griffen stylus. Both are not the best. The Targus is actually pretty cheap. Both have the rubber tip but work great. I just don't rest my hand on the tablet when I write.

My apologies. Believe me, I've done searches and can't say that I've found anything definitive. So much info, information overload if you know what I mean. There have been a few suggestions in this thread and I will look into them. Thanks so much.

I use the Wacom Bamboo Solo stylus on my Nexus 7 with great results.

just order this one

Amazon.com: BoxWave EverTouch Capacitive Stylus - (Newest Technology) Touchscreen iPad 3 Stylus with Ultra Durable FiberMesh Fabric Tip for Apple iPad 3, iPad 2, iPhone 4S / 4, Amazon Kindle Fire, Nexus 7, All Touch Screen Tablets (Jet Black): Comput

unless. want to go with one of the precision ones with the hard tip, but those are hit and miss. This one costs a little more, but you'll waste less money on crappy ones that you hate or that fall apart after a few months.

Which is best for note-taking, a stylus with a rubber or mesh tip?

I'm kind of surprised that so few are available with a retractable tip or cover.
