DoodleDesk 1.2 is now available on the Mac App Store

March 13, 2012 - PRLog -- Imaginary Roots has announced the release of version 1.2 of DoodleDesk, the Whiteboard for your Desktop. The first major feature upgrade since its release on the Mac App Store, this new version adds many features that users have been asking for. To celebrate, the app is available at a sale price for limited time.

The biggest feature in the new release is the ability to export Doodles into some standard image formats, including JPEG and PNG. This feature compliements the existing Save & Load functionality and allows users to share their doodles much more easily. Another major feature is the ability to alter the tickness of the three pens, allows much more expressive and detailed drawing.

Imaginary Roots founder and lead developer James Griffin describes the update: "The original DoodleDesk release has been hugely successful, at one point overtaking Angry Birds in some App Store charts. This latest release includes some of the most highly requested features from our users, who have been fantastic in their suggestions and their support for the App."

DoodleDesk is a simple drawing application designed for people who love whiteboards. It works by replacing the desktop background with a whiteboard surface, giving the user a platform to get their ideas down in a location that's always accessible from the system-wide show desktop hotkey. When it's not being used, the whiteboard sits behind the desktop icons, so the computer works as normal. When activated, either from the dock or by alt-tabbing, the application comes to the foreground and the whole screen is available for drawing on.

The application is designed to be simplistic - it provides only three coloured pens along with an eraser and a familiar stickies tool for adding text-based notes. This focus allows you to get ideas down quickly and without fuss, making DoodleDesk perfect for brainstorms, ideas, designs, plans, diagrams and more.

The app went, which on sale in January, has enjoyed fantastic success, and was for a time featured by Apple in the "New & Noteworthy" section of the App Store. It was recently reviewed in iCreate magazine, who awarded the app 4/5 stars and said "we were impressed with the simplicity and great performance of the app."

Use cases extend beyond simple doodling to situations such as presentations and teaching. The app's brilliance is in its simplicity - the user's imagination is free to run wild.
