Miro: your visual workspace 4+

Amazing app! Perfect for online tutoring classes

I was looking for a long time for a good app that would allow me to not only to write with Apple Pencil and present it to students in real life but also to enable them to write on it as well. Solutions like Microsoft Whiteboard, even though allow for it, are far from perfect and are often too simple.

Miro allows for amazing collaboration, has plenty of tools and has brilliant Apple Pencil support! I wish it would allow for a double tap function (switch from a current tool to eraser?) and for input of mathematical formulas. Other than that it is as close to perfect as one app can get.

Bordering on unusable

Sat on a wifi connection trying to work on a small miro board with just me on it, and I get regular errors showing connection issues. Whenever I am told to wait while it reconnects, it never works, so I lose the last few minutes of work whenever it happens. It especially seems to happen when copy and pasting or duplicating something as simple as a sticky note.

I don’t know what is going on, my internet connection is fine for everything else, but for Miro it is apparently too unstable to make text changes on a board.

Miro is great on my desktop computer, but the connection issues are extremely problematic.

On top of the connection issues, the weird way they have set up keyboard shortcuts makes it very clumsy to use. The iPad standard is CMD+C/V for copy and paste - but if you want to copy and paste objects on a board you have to use Control+C/V. Right clicking on a sticky note shows the shortcut as CMD, but it is definitely control if you try and use the actual shortcuts.

Whatever is happening when performing duplications, copy and paste, etc seems to make the app lag really hard. I have an M1 iPad, so I can’t believe it is a hardware limitation.

Really disappointing. Having used Miro for years at this point, I’m considering finding an alternative platform to move to.

Simple genius solution to mindmap problem

I’ve been using mine maps for years and use many of them, they generally end up getting so complicated with features that they become very confusing to use, and most of them have missed out on the most important aspect... collaboration !
Well done for creating an app that is incredibly elegantly simple and yet works perfectly to remotely share a mind map. Makes screen sharing look like the actual joke that it is!
