Creaceed, an iOS and macOS developer from my native country, Belgium, has released its newest scan software for iOS, Prizmo 5. Now, there’s a lot of that for the iPhone and iPad, so I was very curious to see what Prizmo 5 has in store for its users.
A slim note taker with markdown capabilities at its core, Bear by Shiny Frog has gained a considerable advantage over its competitors.
