Blackboard by Boogie Board

Poor app..... Amazing board and cheap app .... common guys invest some pennies more

Great for saving notes! Sustainable option for replacing paper and pen.

I have the blackboard in note size without the carbon-copy, and I do certainly find this app useful for saving notes and finding them later. I mainly use this app on a phone, but I found that it works on iPad as well. While you can certainly use the app to save your notes, I have found a bunch of possable improvements to make the app better. (Note: This review is a long one) 1. Image share size. There needs to be an option to export your blackboard drawing as a photo in the original resolution in the image share size settings. Taking a photo of the blackboard using the default camera app on an iPhone SE 2nd generation would produce a 12 megapixel photo. Using the app to take a picture of the board and saving it as a large image scales down your save to only 6 megapixels. Yes, I get that cropping out the frame of the blackboard will reduce the amount of megapixels in the image, but yet, there should still be an option to export your save as the original photo that isn’t limited to the writing surface. 2. Manual adjustment of taken date Speaking of importing images, there needs to be an option to change the date in which your image was taken from the info editor. For example, if I took a photo with a different device and I wish to import it into the blackboard app, I need to change the system time on my iPhone so that the timestamp on the imported image can match the timestamp on the original photo. All that is needed is an option to open up a date and time picker by tapping the “Date” field to manually adjust it so that your saves can appear in the correct order. Another option is to detect the date taken for any imported photos and automatically set that as the date for the produced scan. Some restrictions that can be placed on an iPhone prevent changing the system time (like if there is app time limits set), so an option to manually change the date taken would resolve the issue for those who cannot change the system time on their device. 3. Search function is broken Onto the topic of finding your notes, it seems that the search function is broken in the current version of the app (2.1.1). Tapping the documents tab in the top menu bar just shows “No Item Found” even if you have saved scans (is this just limited to the carbon-copy models?). What’s more is that searching for text also dosen’t bring up any results, even when specifying flags (by the way, more than four flag colors would be useful), despite the text I am looking for being in the titl

I just got my letter size Blackboard, downloaded the app and got started. After reading reviews, I didn’t have high expectations, but was immediately pleasantly surprised. It only took a few minutes to set up folders and add my notes to the correct folder. It was also easy to delete notes. This works for me.

Blackboard by Boogie Board is so much better than Rocketbook because you don’t have to worry about erasing the Boogie Board with a wet cloth and having to use the wet cloth over and over again. I like Blackboard by Boogie Board because it’s a lot cheaper and a lot better than Rocketbook. I would strongly recommend Blackboard by Boogie Board to anyone who wants to go digital. 👍👍

App seems to lock up every time I go to save a file.

I have scanned three items so far and each time I press save function, the twirling circle that indicates it’s doing something just keeps going. I had to restart my phone each time to see the saved item. This is very frustrating and makes it unusable to me unless this is fixed.

No good if it is only viewable on the device it is captured on. A phone is portable but its screen is really small to look at pdf size files. Need an option to be able to back up captures to cloud drives automatically (onedrive, google drive, etc.). Thank you.

I enjoy this app a lot, but I can't reliably use it the way I want to without it syncing to some kind of cloud storage. If anything happens to this phone, all my important notes are gone. If they could add that function, this could become a central app in my routine.

This app looks so cool, but cannot get pen to pair. Tried so many times, eventually gave up.
