This app needs a better Apple Pencil support to be useful at all otherwise it’s as useful as looking at a static PDF file.

There are few things that need to be sorted. Cursor support has to be improved (support for space bar function). The UI is good but patience is required when editing text, pasting or duplication of shapes especially when trying to work at speed. Lastly exporting, as for most of these types of apps is so cumbersome if possible at all, can not be considered collaborative across different apps. Still worth the users participation as long as the iOS application support continues. 3.5 stars but the star selector does not seem to work :)

I was excited when I saw this app as I prefer to brainstorm from my iPad using the Apple Pencil, but unfortunately it did not live up to my expectations. The pencil works exactly the same as your finger and there are no settings to customize this. This behaviour is particularly annoying when trying to input text as you can’t use scribble. Being forced to put down the pencil and open the keyboard every time I want to input some text on a sticky is a brutal experience and there doesn’t seem to be a work around. I tried writing (drawing) on the sticky note but this does not put the text in the note but creates a separate object floating on top which will not move with the note. Hopefully they improve the pencil support in a future update.

Quite often it jumps around when you use the Apple Pencil. It happens when you place your palm on the screen.

Changed terms for paying users and can no longer use iOS app. Have to use web browser instead. Junk.

Any serious iPad user will see that this is an underdeveloped app for iPad. The Apple Pencil support is lacking. Here are a few pro tips: - iPad users should not have to select the pen tool. If the Apple Pencil touches the screen, that means the user already wants to draw - If any stylus is connected, do not let a finger be used as the pen. A finger touch should be used as scrolling This is just the beginning. There is an implied set of standards that come with Apple Pencil support that users are comforted with across a wide variety of apps, and the user experience for this app does not conform to those.

Sadly, this app doesn’t seem to work with SSO via Okta. I love the web client, but not being able to pull up content on my phone makes it difficult to rely on for critical documentation difficult.

So right now there is no way to take a picture of something and save it using mobile app. Also it needs a better way to add web clippings, news stories, etc. Would also like to be able to save files to a board maybe even connecting to google drive, etc.

Without proper scribe hand witting input into post-its and other on page objects this will always be a second class service.
