Excellent application to handwrite, to (in my case) solve physics problems for the students. It has many useful tools, it is intuitive, performant and clear. You can also anotate pdf files with Xournal++ The only problem is that in order to have the LaTex insertion active, the installation has to follow some steps (you have to be sure to install the right version and install the standalone latex via sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-extra ) Thank you for the excellent app!

This app was the key to me come back to Ubuntu. I couldn't stay on Ubuntu without this one, it is the equivalent of Preview on Mac OS, even more powerful than Preview. Thanks indeed
