It’s been a while since we’ve spoken about weather apps on Beautiful Pixels, haven’t we?

No matter how much we embrace the digital technology, there’s really nothing that comes close to the experience of scribbling your ideas down on a piece of paper. There are plenty of tools and apps out there today in the market, including large-screen tablet devices that let you use your finger or a fancy stylus to jot down your idea.
