Finally I tried your application. I like it. It is fast and drawing can be used later on on PC... And unlike Onyx approach the eraser works as real eraser, which I like. (The Onyx one erases the whole glyph.)

I hit a few udesired features.

1) If the screen rotation is used, the application draws (in real time) as if there is no screen rotation. But when you turn page and go back everything is at right place.

So, the drawing should be rotated also while drawing.

2) It is probably invoked by 1) If screen rotation is used, it is possible to draw to toolbar.

3) The same problem as in Onyx Scrible App and pdf scrible. Probably invoked by a pen driver? If you draw a line behind the margin (say to status bar), release pen and place it somewhere else, it joins the last known possition with a new one (new start of line). The info that pen stopped touching the screen is lost somewhere.

I would suggest to do some smart filtering. Two joined points should not be too far (maybe few mm), maybe also observing timestamp of events (if there is any). In your case I managed to invoke it only on some of margins, so maybe also restricting filtering to this case might help to avoid some udesirable side effects.

4) I do not know if it is possible to change the width of a pen. I haven't found a way to do it. But sometimes the drawing switches to fine-line. When I draw it is normal (semi-fine), but after turning pages it turns out (and stays) as fine-line.

5) I use screen refreshing mode 'every 5 pages'. In this case upper toolbar and bottom status bar are not redrawed correctly. Time and page numbers are writen over and over. There is no update of background.

Feature request.
It would be fine to have a possibility to change the width of lines and eraser. Maybe by repeated pressing pen / eraser icon (and changing that icon to show actual state - if that is possible).
