Buggy
Resizing a text box also scrolls the canvas. Cant select a text box without going to edit mode. Undo seldom works. Can’t duplicate a text box. Copy/paste text boxes doesn’t work. Many more bugs. Please bring back the feedback button.
Love It
It no matter whether is basic home use or deep company business this is such an amazing feature to have. I really appreciate the that it is included in my Microsoft subscription and I love to utilize it.
Unusable lag
If you are a Microsoft developer and you are reding this, please borrow iPad pro from your friend and try using apple Freeform or Procreate. Then try your own product. The hand draw lag makes this app unusable.
Preview?
Why does the grid of boards not display previews of the boards before you open them? This is supposed to make information more visual and colorful and easier to organize, but you can’t see any of the boards until you open them??
Poor Internet Connection
Cannot connect to the server frequently. Despite this, the app is quite great.
Crashes every five minutes.
Also doesn’t support Apple Pencil.
Okay when it works
Great app, the catch? It takes forever to get one whiteboard to pull up. I have closed the app and reopened it and it’s taken over 6 minutes (it still hasn’t pulled up). This isn’t just for my phone it includes my PC. If you have no patience or get frustrated easily, don’t download this.
