Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Notes
The days of teachers wheeling an overhead projector into the classroom are long gone. Explain Everything, which works like an interactive whiteboard, is a more effective way to communicate ideas in class—or anywhere else. We love the app’s collaborative nature. With Explain Everything, educators can share drawings, text, photos, and videos with the entire class in real time.
Generally very good, but can be improved
For developers’ notes, just a few points that may be improved:
- During presenter display, include the recording options/ability to pull out the full features or even better, select the tools you want present
- when recording, include the panning and zoom feature with the laser pointer
- for iPadOS, include an Apple Pencil only drawing setting, with fingers used to pan
Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to seeing these features in a future update.
Developer Response ,
Hi - thank you for your thorough review and feedback! We really appreciate it! Please note that I have passed your message on to our team. Concerning the custom workspace, I am happy to let you know that we are already working on this! As for your last suggestion, please note that at the moment you can pan with two fingers while using the Apple Pencil. To activate this option, please tap and hold the ‘Hand Tool’ icon for a while and then switch on ‘Zoom and pan’. However, we will see if something like this can be added in the near future
Explain Everything - by J John BSc MSc
I have decided to purchase a subscription here because this whiteboard meets with many of the criteria for what I expect in a whiteboard. In my opinion it is quite good but far from the best. There are many shortcomings, e.g. creating colourful banners doesn’t seem that great compared to what I am used to. Also there is a lack of shapes for use in Math lessons e.g no trapezium, parallelogram or kite etc I haven’t checked for circles or shapes yet but I doubt if these are available. Also a lack of mathematical formulae e.g. no square root symbol, division operator, indices etc.
The board is great if you have your own images you can insert and this is one of the main reasons for my interest. The board has great control tools where you can control student input and limit there ability which is very important for teaching which is my principal usage. All in all, compared to most other boards on the market this board gets close to 8 out of 10 in my opinion.
Thank You for reading.

Hi - thank you for rating our app! We're happy to hear that you enjoy it! When it comes to shapes, we're planning to add some new ones in the nearest future. As for the mathematical formulas, you can create equations with our Equation Editor - you can find it under the Add Media button -> Insert New section -> choose Equation. It's also possible to use indices in text boxes. If you'd have any additional questions, please contact support@explaineverything.com. We'll be happy to help you out!
