Whether you have an iPad or an Android tablet, you've probably been tempted to doodle a bit on it, or open up an app to make sketches or take down a few freehand notes with your finger or a stylus. Maybe you just love to draw, and you found the perfect drawing app to express your creativity. This week we want to know which app you turn to when you want to do a little drawing on your tablet screen.
Whether your favorite app lets you doodle in your idle time or create beautiful works of art, we want to know which one you think is the best. It can be iOS, Android, both, or something else, as long as you think it's great. Leave your vote for in the comments below.
The call for contenders is closed! To see which of your nominees made the top five, head over to the five best tablet drawing apps to read up and vote for your overall favorite!
Hive Five nominations take place in the comments, where you post your favorite tool for the job. We get hundreds of comments, so to make your nomination clear, please include it at the top of your comment like so: VOTE: BEST TABLET DRAWING APP. Please don't include your vote in a reply to another commenter. Instead, make your vote and reply separate comments. If you don't follow this format, we may not count your vote. To prevent tampering with the results, votes from first-time commenters may not be counted. After you've made your nomination, let us know what makes it stand out from the competition.
About the Hive Five: The Hive Five feature series asks readers to answer the most frequently asked question we get: "Which tool is the best?" Once a week we'll put out a call for contenders looking for the best solution to a certain problem, then YOU tell us your favorite tools to get the job done. Every weekend, we'll report back with the top five recommendations and give you a chance to vote on which is best. For an example, check out last week's five best web hosting companies.
The Hive Five is based on reader nominations. As with most Hive Five posts, if your favorite was left out, it's not because we hate it—it's because it didn't get the nominations required in the call for contenders post to make the top five. We understand it's a bit of a popularity contest, but if you have a favorite, we want to hear about it. Have a suggestion for the Hive Five? Send us an email at tips+hivefive@lifehacker.com!

There are plenty of free online services that promise to host your digital life, but when you're serious about taking control of your own data, it's time to host it yourself. There are dozens of companies willing to take your money in exchange for server space for webapps, blogs, photos, and more—but this week we want to know which ones do you trust for uptime, flexibility, support, and features for the money. 
Shopping for clothes doesn't have to be a pain—there are plenty of online stores that will not only offer you a bargain when you buy clothes from them, but they'll also tailor and customize those clothes to fit. In some cases, the discount grows as you buy more, like dress shirts, skirts, or ties. So this week we want to know if you've been shopping at any of these online stores, and which ones you think are the best. 
With the weather changing, many of us are thinking about getting outside to exercise. Want to keep track of the steps you take every day, or how much activity you're getting? There's a whole market of new accessories designed to wear around your wrist or in your pocket that keep an eye on your movement, activity level, even heart rate, and then sends that data to your computer where you can track your efforts to get and stay fit with the help of technology. This week we want to know which one you think is the best.
