Papyrus is a natural handwriting note-taking app that lets you use your smartphone just like paper, by allowing you to take handwritten notes on your Windows Phone using a passive stylus or your finger.

The vector graphics engine keeps your notes beautiful at any zoom level and on any device, while the simple and intuitive user interface allows you to take notes quickly and efficiently.

The app is popular on Android with close to a million downloads and has been part of the Samsung Apps for their Galaxy Note products.
