Some tweaks needed
I’ve enjoyed whiteboard, with a few caveats. The “copy link” doesn’t work from the iOS app, which is annoying. And some tooltips would be helpful, as I don’t understand all buttons and what they do. For instance, I use an Apple Pencil, and when adding shapes, the little menu for the shape has a pen button. My assumption was that this would allow me to write in the shape - but no. So what is the pen button in the shape menu? I still don’t know.
Epic
Just a white bird
Love customization
In the next ver you could please add more colors lol
Disappointing
oI generally like MS products but Whiteboard is difficult to work with. I found manipulating shapes near impossible. Moving, deleting or re-sizing a basic arrow was nearly impossible. Overall, it was a disappointment and frustrating. I have abandoned it.
Love it
It is easy to use and has everything you want
Very Finicky
It’s great when it works as expected but it almost never does. Lots of errors, unsaved changes, frozen screens
Inking is sticky
Only on apple devices I have noticed. When your using the pen to ink, the ink is sticky meaning it doesn’t stay put. Imagine your writing the letter w, it has 5 points of movement from start to end. The ink will not register each point, it will slope the and stick to the pen as it changes direction. This problem is not in apples Freeform or whiteboard on windows.
No offline use
I was trying to use in the classroom and the schools internet was not stable. It disconnected every 30 seconds. You can not use this while using your iPads wifi to connect to an external display either. This is only usable with a stable internet connection.
Excited to use it but keeps crashing
I’m on an iPhone 13 mini
Finally, as a Creative CEO…
…I can communicate things easily and effectively without scribbling a cocktail napkin! I have no technical skill at all and this is a game changer for me.
