Samsung creates an app only for S-Pen doodlers called Pen.Up

Do you use a Samsung device that comes with a stylus? This new service by Samsung should interest you. The South Korean company has come up with a new social networking application that connects S-Pen doodlers with others from all over the world.

This new application is called Pen.Up and is dedicated to help creative souls who use their S-Pens to create art on their Samsung devices. The S-Pen coupled with Samsung’s really large-screened phones has become a great way for Samsung users to unleash their art and the company will now let them display their art too.

Doodle and share

The application will allow users to set up their own creative images and collections and follow friends and other S-Pen doodlers on it. The user feed will consist of creative images from people you follow, quite like the News Feed on Facebook. There’s also a feature called Series that lets users add their own creations to the folder as well as curated images from peers.

Pen.Up also has a section that displays artists and artworks called Popular. Another section takes it a notch up and displays only the “best of the best” artworks and artists. Users can go about competing for a spot in the Hall of Fame.

Of course, this app is meant for just the chosen few who own a Samsung device that come with the S-Pen like Galaxy Note 2. Word is that Pen.Up will come pre-installed with the new Galaxy Note 3, but in the meanwhile, if you wish to unleash your S-Pen creations on the world, you need to head over to Google Play to download Pen.Up.
