Microsoft Whiteboard for Positive User Reviews
✓ Moving ToolbarIs there a way to move the toolbar from the bottom of the screen? Inadvertently, buttons get pressed as you rest your wrist when writing with Apple Pencil. Ideally there would be a way to move the toolbar to the side or top of screen..Version: 1.19101281
✓ I am Organised!This app is awesome for all of the little notes you know you should make but don’t have pen and paper to hand. Changed my life!.Version: 22.10406.0.9050
✓ Great toolVery useful tool. Syncs across devices. Could have some better smart drawing options..Version: 23.10117.0.9071
✓ Awesome!This app works great for sketching down ideas. • There’s a major bug in the app that I encountered. Once in awhile when I try to draw, the bottom dock menu keeps switching back to where I cannot draw. I tried switching it back so that I could draw, but it keeps switching back to the default menu where the cut & paste is located at. As a result, I cannot draw on the board due to the menu switching..Version: 19.10701.0.3
✓ Good for a free app, could be better.First up, I have not tried all the bells and whistles of the app. The way I use it is, I start a call in Zoom/Teams, do share screen and then switch to this app to teach my students. The interaction is one way as in I can write on the screen while they cannot but it does not matter as most of them do the call from a desktop/laptop and in a traditional class the students do not write on the blackboard. I wish Microsoft would add this app as a feature on Microsoft Teams, that way the app switching will not be necessary and it would be possible to move beyond the paradigm of traditional class. Another wish is to have dark mode with appropriately colored pens as having a white screen for a couple of hours can get a touch tiring..Version: 21.10726.0.5744
✓ It’s awesomeI just downloaded Microsofwhitebow and it is so good.Version: 22.10922.0.9062
✓ DrawI love the app put can you please fix it and make it a bit less laggy Bot other then that the app it ASOME🤩🤩.Version: 23.10117.0.9071
✓ Almost goodI would like this app, but the issue of resizing when I reset my hands in my iPad as I use my pencil needs to be fixed for this to be a great app. I’ve generally given up using it because of the problem, so please fix in the next update..Version: 20.10127.0
✓ Fix palm rejection pelareThis is so good in simplicity and usability with the pen that it would have been a clear five star and the most used app on my iPad if it hadn’t been for the poor palm rejection. Any note taking app does that part better, so it should not be that hard to fix?? The only other thing I would like to see is a conversion function hand writing to text..Version: 20.11105.0.5469
✓ Great App!Agree with the other reviewer on the lag bit. Use it on iphone to ipad- bit laggy and crash when people join the session. Great effort though!.Version: 19.10617.0.3
✓ Good features, one flawAs a teacher, I was looking for a whiteboard app to use on my iPad so I can eliminate my dependency on dry erase markers and stick with the Apple Pencil instead. Having used Microsoft apps before and being happy, Microsoft Whiteboard was the first one that I installed. Overall, I like it and find the features useful, but there is one major problem that prevents me from incorporating this into my classroom. When I use my Apple Pencil to draw, there is noticeable latency and the lines I draw are not exactly what I did with my Pencil. If this can be fixed, I will definitely use this app regularly..Version: 21.11118.0.9025
✓ You did it Microsoft!Thanks for listening, the app runs smoother, drains less battery, faster, more responsive. Keep this good work up!.Version: 22.11028.0.9070
✓ Nearly Perfect some bugsGreat for teaching! However, a few of my students are unable to see the whiteboard when it loads from the teams app. Additionally, the laser is only present on the whiteboard app that loads from the teams app and not in the default whiteboard app. Please could sharing be more easier. It’s difficult to share as there always appears to be restrictions when the whiteboard is shared with people outside of the organisation..Version: 23.10717.1.9104
✓ It’s so good you get to make creations and also learnThanks for the app I get to use it in class now.Version: 1.19104223
✓ GreatJust a few problems like I have to go back in and out of the app a lot but otherwise it’s a great whiteboard app..Version: 21.10628.0.5709
✓ Really versatileI use it for study. I paste screen shots from videos and websites and annotate them with explanations. Just a versatile canvas basically. What I would improve is the text formatting. Be nice to edit individual words with a box and to have different fonts. The font issue is well known. If desperate you can type in another font elsewhere and screenshot. It’s free though, so I’m really impressed..Version: 24.10103.0.9116
✓ There could be some more featuresThere should be a feature where you can fill the section that you outlined.Version: 20.10922.1.5451
✓ Good but needs some improvementsThis is probably one of the better whiteboard apps I have used. Improvements: 1) be able to ‘lock’ your whiteboard so no one can make changes or delete it by accident 2) be able to make copies/backups of your whiteboard (there is no trash where you can retrieve it) 3) Extraction of images blurs inserted typed text 4) Make extraction of high quality images easier. You only get SVG which you have to recode the file if you want a good dimensions.Version: 20.10406.1.5042
✓ Amazing, but didnt like them taking away uploading pdfsAmazing app, use it for tutoring all the time, only negative is that you could upload pdf before, but that functionality has been taken away which is a shame.Version: 23.107170.9100
✓ OkayMicrosoft whiteboard is okay but could be better and have a better drawing rather than if you draw a curve it moves round and follows if you keep drawing..Version: 22.10406.0.9050
✓ Almost perfect2 features would make this a perfect App. One is being able to lock the zoom so accidental touch while writing won’t mess up the zoom or move the content. (Annoying while recording the screen) Second would be changing the position of the toolbar to top, left or right so accidental touch won’t change the tool while writing. Thanks!.Version: 1.1811022.2
✓ Great for DnD PlanningFor most of my life, I have been a loyal OneNote user, but since I lost my laptop, I’ve needed a new note taking and planning software for DnD planning on the go, and i cant take my desktop with me. I tried Google Jamboard, which I thought was ok on computer, but was absolutely terrible on phone! But then I discovered Microsoft Whiteboard, and then everything changed. Tons of templates for everything you could need, outlines for everything, it’s incredible. And it works (almost) as well on phone!.Version: 22.10922.0.9062
✓ A few bugsLove the app, visuals are great and definitely a good app compared to others, but there’s a 4 things, kind-of-not-really bugs that I wanted to point out. 1) I don’t know whether this is just my iPad being my iPad, but the app is a tad slow. Like, I’ll draw something and the stroke is a little laggy, or I scroll down and it’s choppy. 2) (edited) The stylus thing is working fine now, there was some weird problem with my old iPad and stylus. Anyways, new #2: the app crashes every now and then. Sometimes it takes away some of the notes I was writing. 3) When I zoom in or out, the paper, no matter what background I’m using, turns to graph and it’s kind of discombobulating. 4) The spaces/squares when I use variations of graph paper or dotted always stay the same size even if I zoom in, and it kind of gets rid of the concept of zooming in in those cases. Most of these don’t bother me at all, but if the app crashing problem could be fixed, that would be great..Version: 21.10601.0.5694
✓ Brilliant. Just what I needed.This is absolutely fantastic. You can copy and paste into this app and then annotate over the top of the images you’ve pasted. It’s also so easy to take screenshots using my PC and then annotate using my iPad. My apple stylus works great with it. It’s looks really basic but there are so many hidden features. It’s so great to have such a simple whiteboard application that syncs quickly..Version: 21.10628.0.5709
✓ Good lightweight app. But needs improvement.This app is pretty good. My drawings and sketches get easily synced and uploaded to my Microsoft account and accessible from my pc. It is fairly lightweight and easy to use. However, the app needs to integrate apple pencil well. It needs to include double tap gesture to change to eraser and back to pen. Also it needs to have gestures for quick undos and redos..Version: 22.10208.0.9044
✓ 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..Version: 23.10117.0.9071
✓ Great free app butThere are some issues. If you have a iPad Pro with the high refresh screens it doesn’t take advantage of those, does not support gesture support on the Apple Pencil generation 2. Otherwise it is easily one of the best infinite whiteboard type apps imo and has PC/Mac support so you can easily change platform and have access to your notes. Great for individuals in med school if you need to draw out pathways or think about concepts. Some improvements such as pencil 2 gesture support, ability to add more pens on the tool bar, 120 hz refresh support, better latency support when zooming and zooming out like OneNote and this could easily be the best infinite cavas type app on the App Store..Version: 22.11028.0.9070
✓ Wasting timeSometimes the app does not save. For instance, I swipe out of the app to copy a picture or find a document I want to paste on the white whiteboard. I come back to the whiteboard to paste all is fine. Until I click the home button and come back to the whiteboard later and find that my precious work did not save! How can this not save in the background?! Microsoft product, really?? How is this so hard for a billion dollar company to figure out??.Version: 22.10208.0.9044
✓ Why isn’t this five stars?!This app is EXACTLY everything it should be. The perfect digital whiteboard! What did people expect, procreate? This is my new favourite app. I used to use physical whiteboards on a daily basis but they are obviously quite cumbersome. You can collaborate on here. I am so amped about this, thank you so much Microsoft! I am on an iPad Pro using the Apple Pencil. There are no bugs at all, not sure what other reviewers are talking about..Version: 20.10601.1.5253
✓ Really helpful for schoolwork!I was looking through the App Store trying to find a decent drawing board app, and eventually found this one! It helps soooo much, especially when I’m doing physics or calculus homework. ☺️ However, an amazing feature you might want to consider: locking the screen in place. I don’t know how many times the screen just zooms in or out or just completely goes somewhere else on the board since I write with my hand laying on the tablet (it’s easier for me to write that way, rather then my hand floating above the tablet as I write). But locking the screen in place would help immensely! 😄.Version: 1.19101281
✓ Not the worst, needs to be in MacI’ve used this on the iPad to augment some written submissions. It’s not too basic and has a good amount of functionality. I would love if this supported on the Mac, rather than having to export to a jpg or png file so I could continue working there..Version: 20.10922.1.5451
✓ WHAT DID YOU DO TO THIS APP?This app used to be very stable. I use in an enterprise context - Sync’d whiteboards between iPad, work laptop, surface hub pro’s, etc. The sketching on an iPad was superior to a laptop/stylus. Not sure what happened but it is awful since late 2021 early 2022. The app has a very hard time differentiating between your hand and the Apple Pencil. Please address!.Version: 21.11212.0.9036
✓ Fix this issues to make a flow less experience1. I just installed this app on my windows and iphone and i could say I absolutely love it but there are some issues which i prefer to be fix as soon as possible such as: 1.if you wish to select something with lasso you need to take all the object at once but in some apps you could just make a quick circle around a little part of object and it will considered as selected. 2. I really need to change the aspects of sticky notes instead of just keeping it as a big or little square like if I need to make a mind node , i prefer to put a little rectangular 3. I’m Persian so I really wish to see language support (I mean when im using to write at both languages ENG & PER in one line it will be a total mess!!) 4. And some new extra features such as changing the color of your shapes which you just draw , giving some of the shapes a fixed separate background color instead of highlighting it) 5. And please add left hand support , please please please remove stacking highlights!.Version: 20.10420.0.5074
✓ Microsoft whiteboardMicrosoft whiteboard is amazing to use ,kids can also workout problems on a whiteboard,instead of using a normal book..Version: 23.107170.9100
✓ Feature Parity**UPDATE** The jumpiness from switching pens has FINALLY been addressed! Hence the revised rating. However, a new bug I’ve found is when I’m on my iPad and I try to insert a document onto the whiteboard, it places a placeholder for the document, but the document doesn’t display. Hopefully Microsoft will read this and make the fix! ***************************************************************** There needs to be more seamless connection and experience when transitioning between different devices. Right now, it’s too fragmented, but has great potential. There’s been a long standing bug that causes the screen to jump to a different part of the canvas when I’m switching pens or resting my palm back down on the display. It’s so irritating that I gave up using it because I couldn’t quickly pick up my iPad and just write my students’ next set of instructions. I’ll change my review when (and if) this gets fixed…..Version: 22.10712.0.9055
✓ Enhanced MS Whiteboard is megaAt home in the MS 365 stable the enhanced whiteboard is powerful. I use it in conjunction with the calendar board view. Hybrid and meeting-friendly, fabulous for education thanks.Version: 22.10208.0.9044
✓ 5 * pending if you FIX PALM REJECTIONUpdate: Microsoft did it! They fixed my issues below. I’m now an online Whiteboarding MACHINE! Thanks to the devs, much appreciated! I would use this app at least 3 hours a day if I could rely on the palm rejection to work. Whiteboard ipados app and web app both behave the same way with my M1 iPad Pro and pencil: 7/10 times, after I rest my hand on the screen to write/draw, as soon as the tip of my pencil touches the screen, the whole whiteboard shunts up and to the left. Please fix this Microsoft. Miro web app and apple notes do not have this issue so I know my hardware is fine,.Version: 22.10801.0.9061
✓ À petit mot dans courage m’en à MicrosoftMerci beaucoup Vérossaz poser vos applications merci beaucoup Microsoft pour vos applications c’est formidable je vous souhaite une bonne fin de semaine à plus de René Viau je vais probablement vous faire un autre avis plus tard félicitations encore une fois et lâchez pas de René Viau au revoir bye-bye A+.Version: 23.107170.9100
✓ WhiteboardI’ve been trying to whiteboard really useful and easy to use.Version: 22.11028.0.9070
✓ A few bugsDear Microsoft Employe and users, This brand new application from the Microsoft development team is quite a great application, this does still have bugs such as when trying to open or create whiteboards (Especially on Wi-Fi with blocks) can sometimes cause the app to disable all functions. There is a chance it is just my school block which is causing the bug, as it is known to stop certain apps (especially one's that require a log) being it's full potential. - DoctorJackDev (Microsoft User, Xbox Player, Half Decent Game Devolper).Version: 1.1811022.1
✓ Super useful. I can’t live without itAs the title says… it’s embedded in my work life..Version: 23.10117.0.9071
✓ Great ConceptThis is great for doing quick shared thoughts, but with the Apple Pencil, the palm recognition needs some work as the screen occasionally shifts for no good reason.Version: 21.11212.0.9036
✓ Powerful little productI use this beyond what intended as a tool when carrying out complex investigations. The post it more function us amazing as well as live update on my computer or tablets..Version: 21.10308.0.5635
✓ Very good for brain stormingI will give 5 stars if it’s available for personal account. I have to use Freeform meanwhile..Version: 23.10117.0.9071
✓ Working like it used toStopped using the app when it changed to mirror the web based version as one major draw back was they removed the pixel /small eraser. Opening the app today and noticed there is now an option to have the small eraser or entire stroke. I’ve missed using the app and looking forward to working on my boards again!.Version: 22.10406.0.9050
✓ Excellent app for iPad ProUse this app to capture ideas and thoughts and find the interface intuitive and simple - a great companion to the iPad Pro’s capability. Surprised this app doesn’t feature in more Top 10 lists. Doesn’t have all the bells and whistles but means I get to focus on the task and don’t waste time trying to navigate an app that tries to do everything..Version: 19.10521.2
✓ The og pogger fortnite scar and double pumpFortnite is the best game because chapter 3 is cracked and mk 7 ar is very good to spray walls down which you won’t stand a chance against and the whiteboard is just trash but idiotic and dumb because it’s laggy aswell and it’s Microsoft because Microsoft is very poor and trash this is all fax.Version: 21.11118.0.9025
✓ Far better with one changeI had issues with palm rejection not working on the previous version that made it useless on my iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, but the latest version has fixed them - and superbly. Palm rejection works flawlessly for me now, and doesn’t interfere with actually moving the page around. So now I can easily and quickly move between iPad and Windows, because the file sharing is seamless with OneDrive. I would probably like more granular control over those sharing settings, but Microsoft Whiteboard is now extremely useful and functional, so thanks for listening and updating it. :).Version: 22.10406.0.9050
✓ Looks promisingMicrosoft have surprised me another little usable app. This is quite an okay whiteboard app but it really needs better palm rejection when using a pen, as it keeps resizing or scrolling inappropriately (maybe these should be lockable as well). Also the resize and rotate handle doesn’t show for all selections, just small simple ones. The line tool seems to always move a bit when lifting my fingers. As for new features, I think more smart shapes like straight lines and Béziers would be a good start. Even more stencils like adjustable French curves, sinusoids, tans, arcs, etc would be useful. A pen to text option would also be fantastic (especially if it supported Greek symbols for maths). Real time broadcasting/collaboration would be the icing on the cake..Version: 19.10909.0
✓ Could be betterIt’s really good for drawing together during social isolation but the lines could be smoothers on phone..Version: 20.10309.0
✓ So close to perfectThe best free online whiteboard, but poor palm rejection, no apple pencils 2.0 function, and a bit glitchy when reading others writing (it sometimes doesn’t load fully what they wrote).Version: 20.10224.0
✓ Amazing ~ 💯 recommendI’m an A level student at the moment and am literally tired of making my bag so heavy that my back feels like it’s breaking into two. I thought let’s go to digital stuff and save your back, but not leave anything behind that’s essential. I’ve downloaded app after app, to the point where it said ‘storage full’ until I found this. My handwriting is actually legible, easy to use and get used to. I love how you can change the colours of the whiteboard so easily!! This is personally helpful as in the dark white light murders my eyes, so having a black screen is totally helpful. I cannot tell you how much this app has helped me. Thanks so much !! <3.Version: 23.10117.0.9071
✓ The most frustrating collaboration appI have an iPad Pro with pencil. This app would be really useful to be able to exchange thoughts quickly with other colleagues. If it worked. I canT sign in - it hangs after asking me to select my office account from Authenticator. Needs work..Version: 20.10420.2.5136
✓ Great app but stylus doesn’t workI think the app has potential to be a more simple OneNote version just for quick ideas/ drawings, but my stylus doesn’t work and I certainly cannot just draw with my finger. Also connecting it to the Surface Hub and it starts glitching. I will just stick to OneNote and other drawing apps.Version: 20.10406.0.5006
✓ Good, occasionallyI am rating this on an iPad, This app most of the time works wonderfully without any issue,but everyday there are a few bugs. I use Whiteboard almost everyday, around 3 to 4 times, the app just freezes. This is not much of a bug as you can just reopen the app after closing it, but it is enough to lose a star. There is a new update coming to whiteboard very soon, which will be very nice to see and I hope it fixes this bug. When it does work though, it works like a trick..Version: 21.10823.2.5777
✓ Unusable on iPhoneI want to love this app. It works great on my iPad; however, when I try to work with the same whiteboard on my iPhone, it keep showing a pop-up “Loading board content…”. This occurs if I simple tap on the board. I can do some things like resize and edit, but that annoying pop-up keeps it from being useful. Also, there is no option in the app to specify that I only want to use the Apple Pencil. I want the option to not use my fingers - only the Apple Pencil for the iPad..Version: 22.10801.0.9061
✓ Incorporate a grid/ alignment tool to keep white board symmetrical for us OCD fiends plsThank you.Version: 22.10712.0.9055
✓ Touch/Write IssuesIt would seem there is work to do on the IOS app from the product team. The touch and write capabilities when using the app on an iPad mini is not what I would expect from a mature Microsoft product. The app locks up regularly and requires frequent relaunch to get pen capabilities back. Product team feel free to reach out for further details..Version: 21.11212.0.9036
✓ A fabulous collaboration toolIt takes a little bit of practice, but I think combined with the other tools such as a pencil and dictation, you can make this an amazing piece of software for working with colleagues. However, I would suggest practising a little first before you go out in public because someone who is not familiar with the iPad such as myself, then you need to become familiar with the tools That said, I would certainly give it five stars for convenience, speed, and usability..Version: 22.11028.0.9070
✓ Useful. Needs workI’ve wanted something like this for a decade. There have been others, but they’ve not been very good. This has potential. At the moment it’s a bit clumsy, and a few things (like pasting) work sometimes but nor others. Despite this I’m sticking with it as will become so useful as it improves. Needed: To be added to the ‘share’ menu so it’s easier to get thing on and off A Mac version (or at least a web version I can access). More colours for stickies..Version: 1.1810913
✓ Useful appNice simple app without never ending ads! Easy to use and you can even invite friends to help! It can be used for study, remembering something or just for a bit of fun! Amazing app!.Version: 19.11007.1
✓ Great concept, with bad optimisation.Was great for a while but got super laggy on a friend’s iPad Air 2 (to the point where it was near to impossible to zoom) Another thing is that you can’t zoom in while using a pen tool (like every other whiteboard or note taking app on the AppStore) It would also be helpful for sticky notes be able to be manipulated and when it is sized up for the text to fill the space rather than cutting off. Great app!.Version: 1.19101103
✓ Really good but...This app is extremely useful and has great features. But there’s a pretty significant lag that occurs at seemingly random times on my iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil v2. Hope MS releases a fix soon!.Version: 19.10715.0.2
