IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PhatWare Corporation today announces the Ultimate Handwriting and Notes bundle for iPhones and Ultimate Handwriting Bundle for iPad. The Ultimate Handwriting and Notes bundle for iPhones and Ultimate Handwriting Bundle for iPad featuring PhatWare's state-of-the-art handwriting recognition and note-taking technologies, which have been around for more than 15 years on a variety of mobile devices, are designed to improve user's productivity and take notes in the most efficient manner.

Spokane, Washington - PhatWare Corporation, a leading professional software and application developer, announces today the immediate availability of two new bundles for iOS - the Ultimate Handwriting and Notes bundle for iPhones and Ultimate Handwriting Bundle for iPad. The Ultimate Handwriting and Notes bundle includes three apps - WritePad, WritePad Pro, and Penquills, and the Ultimate Handwriting Bundle for iPad includes WritePad for iPad and PhatPad.

PhatWare bundles are the prefect combination of handwriting recognition, note-taking, and file sharing technologies. All apps in the bundle utilize PhatWare's state-of-the-art handwriting recognition technology in different ways, allowing users to improve their productivity and take notes in the most efficient manner.

About Bundled Apps:
WritePad is designed to deliver considerably faster note-taking, by offering multiple suggestions for words and phrases as notes are taken in the user's own handwriting. For those who collaborate with people in other countries, WritePad offers superior integration with an online language translator and synchronization with Box, Dropbox, Evernote, Google Drive, iCloud, and Microsoft OneDrive. On iPad, WritePad also includes a custom handwriting recognition keyboard, which can be used with any app.

WritePad Pro adds rich text editing which can be combined with images, custom drawings, and text. The app also integrates with various system resources such as email, contacts, maps, iCloud, social networks, and others. WritePad Pro creates HTML and PDF documents and can open text, Microsoft Word, RTF, HTML and text files for editing.

Penquills is a 2-in-1 custom handwriting recognition input method (keyboard), which combines two different handwriting recognition technologies in a single application - single character recognition input when the iPhone screen is in portrait mode as well as free-style "natural" handwriting recognition in landscape.

PhatPad enables users to jot down ideas, bolster them with visual aides, and share finished ideas with anyone they choose, in real time. To that end, the app includes a fully featured Presentation mode, which lets users show off their notes to local collaborators in addition to its diverse array of digital sharing options.

PhatWare's Ultimate Handwriting and Notes Bundle for iPhones (WritePad, WritePad Pro, and Penquills) and the Ultimate Handwriting Bundle for iPad (WritePad and PhatPad) are available in the iTunes App store and priced at $11.99 and $9.99 (USD) respectively.
