Inkflow is an iPad app that can be used to sketch mind maps, draw pictures, write free hand, and just about anything else you might do with a pencil and paper.

The free version allows you to use black ink only and your books are limited to twenty pages. Tags: Drawing Apps, free app, free apps, free ipad apps, mind mapping, sketching apps
