Thank You

I love how this app allows me to express myself on a digital screen. Something to consider is an option of Face ID. Most of my study goes in this app. So thank you for making it. I also enjoy drawing and writing story’s in here. It is a fun place to spend your time. Also maybe consider more spelling accuracy meaning correcting the spelling I’ve done wrong. I hope you live up to be a very successful business.

Thanks again
👍

Would have been great a few years ago

For an Apple app, the integration with Apple pencil is woeful. There is no pressure sensitivity which is astonishing. In other apps by other developers the pencil writes and draws beautifully, and has done for years, making them a pleasure to use…not here though. It’s simply lazy not have this as a key feature for an app that encourages note taking and brainstorming. It’s like going back in time.

Have been persevering with the app for 3 weeks since the initial review above and it is still terrible. It won’t sync properly across devices and this seems to be a widespread problem among users. It is downright ugly, poorly designed, and doesn’t work properly. Do Apple have no embarrassment threshold? This is a disgrace from a trillion dollar company. The development team must have gone to sleep - still no fixes or updates!!!!!!!!

Really trying to love it

I wouldn’t say it’s an unlimited whiteboard, as it can’t really handle too much. Things I write with my apple pencil randomly disappear, I have to rewrite things constantly and I’m not collaborating with anyone at this point. I’m trying to use it to help me plan my days and it just crashes nonstop, trying to load the board I’m working on takes forever, it is glitchy when scrolling around the board and so slow. I haven’t used any other whiteboard programs so I was excited to try this. I’m not sure if this is something all whiteboard programs struggle with either but I really wish this were better, crossing my fingers that subsequent updates help improve it. As another reviewer said “it’s not ready for prime time” sadly.
