Mural - Visual Collaboration

Terrible UX. Tried to open a group project in browser then in app. Both doesn’t work.

The app has plenty of tiny UX glitches which make it poorly usable on iPad. E.g. if you accidentally tap back if you joined the mural via link, there’s no way to get back. The buttons are relatively small and it’s easy to tap something accidentally. If you add text there’s a placeholder “This is title” and it does not look like a placeholder, the input cursor is at the beginning and but you can’t delete the text. You need to figure out that if you start typing “This is title” disappears. Then if you type, word wrap works differently during typing and after you finish typing. There are plenty of things like that and the app needs a proper UX audit.

I hate with every fiber of my soul that my organization has forced us to move to Miro to Mural. Mural on every platform is literal garbage and a usability nightmare - and it comes to no surprise the iPad version is no exception lol even if you have a keyboard and trackpad you have to continuously switch between move and non move to do anything at all. Copy and paste? Forget it……. Mural is all around complete trash

iPhone app won’t let me login.

Cant use on iphone or ipad incredible

The new app version improved, but it still have very limited capabilities. It’s not reliable yet to consider switching from desktop. Some things are working weird, for example there is no search box for your murals, which is time consuming when you have lots of saved murals. When you edit a sticky the app automatically zooms in on the sticky which causes a lot of zoom in and out, and there is no way to deactivate that feature. You cant access templates, and some other key functionalities. I don’t know why they don’t allow you to access Mural from the iPad’s web browser and they force you to use their app, it doesn’t make sense either.

This app doesn’t work with the latest IOS update.

I like the desktop version but the iPad app is a pain to use. There is no way to easily create connectors or use my pen beyond drawing. Miro’s app is way easier. I would rather not switch but I need this app to improve

I have been a long time mural user, so long in fact, that I was part of a small beta group before the app was even publicly released on the web more than 7 years ago. I always liked the web version but the ipad version was never up to the standard I wanted. As times changed, I switched from carrying a MacBook Pro everywhere, to rocking an ipad for almost everything I do. Unfortunately mural didnt have an ipad app I could use, so I ended up switching to other apps like miro (strange naming eh?) and Onenote, and other canvas masked apps and even mindnode for mind mapping etc. Well, I decided to check on the iPad app today and to my surprise, I got the full desktop web version right there in the ipad app. This is great. They have even added new features like built in connector handles on stickies, full dedicated mindmap feature, and new ai features. Gotta say, this is one of the best updates I’ve seen in a long time in any app. Brings mural’s tablet apps up to parity with miro, and can also be embedded in notion pages via embedly (like miro) which is exectly what I wanted. Def give mural another shot on ipad and start your judgement completely from scratch. Not fair to rate the ipad app based on previous versions anymore.

Doesn’t work on iPad Pro. Guess I’m back to dragging and dropping in Visio like it’s 2007.
