The developers behind popular sketching app Paper have criticised Facebook for launching an app of the same name instead of "building a brand name of their own" and demanded that it be changed.

FiftyThree's free sketching app was named in Apple's Best of 2012 list as a "phenomenal app [that] set a new standard with its clean design and thoughtful implementation". It allows users to jot down ideas and make quick sketches on the iPad using their finger or a stylus and then share those images across a number of social networks.
