IOS – Are there iPad handwriting apps that allow you to insert space between lines

handwritingiosipadnotes.appstylus

I prefer to take notes and design code by hand. There are several good apps (Penultimate, Readability, Noteshelf, etc.), but they all seem to lack something I really wish they had: the ability to add space in the middle of the document, between lines.

Most or all of the handwriting apps I've used have a selection tool, but none of them allow you to insert text in the middle of the document.

As an example, imagine you've handwritten this list:

  • First
  • Second
  • Fourth

Oops: you forgot to write "Third." You tell the app to add space between Second and Fourth (which pushes the rest of the document down). Then you add it such that the list now looks like this:

  • First
  • Second
  • Third
  • Fourth

Does anyone know of an app that affords this?

MyScript Notes Mobile has that feature. It's pretty neat. You just press on blank space where you want the lines to split, and a "shift" pop-up appears. When you select that, a line appears that lets you move all the writing beneath it up or down as far as you want within the page's limits.
