Many apps tried capturing that ease, most famously Paper for iOS. Today I'm here with InNote, a free Android app that lets you create multiple sketch notepads, draw with various tools, and convey your ideas visually.

Android allows users to use third-party app stores, and Amazon has stepped up with a competitor of its own -- the Amazon Appstore for Android. Once US-only, the Amazon Appstore is now available in nearly 200 countries around the world and is a true, global competitor to Google Play. So how does it stack up against Google Play?
