Every time I tried to do something with this app it just ended up doing something else super hard to control but if you had this on an iPad I could see this workingjust a guy being a dude 05
Surprisingly good
Generally, Google’s apps aren’t great on iPad (Docs, Sheets, Gmail), but Jamboard has been done really well.
Between accounts, the changes sync quickly. The app has subtle, but polished animations (like how things disintegrate when being erased from a different device), and everything shows up on the web as well. While it’s certainly useful as a business tool, it can also be used as a fun way to play handwritten games with a friend or family member remotely.
It’s honestly surprising how well this app has been developed and designed when compared to Google’s other iOS apps.Show lessSeltzer John
Hard to use
It is okay to draw with, but is super hard to use. Not as good as Docs.16Griggo
I don’t get update changes
So I can live with moving tools around (like undo button from bottom left to bottom right) but what happened to the web browser? I can search for an image, but I can’t search for web pages any more. Also app on iPhone and iPad crash and don’t connect as consistently. Finally I couldn’t open a Jam from my iPad to a Jamboard, but I could do it with my iPhone. Used to be 5 stars, but functionality andShow lesspwyu1969
This app is a game changer!
It works amazingly well for what I need. As a designer I want to iterate on ideas and organize those ideas quickly and this allows me to do that. Without getting bogged down in things having to “look nice”. Sure there are some improvements that can be made. I love the multiple erase options, I can clear a whole board, section or just erase a single line/sketch. You wouldn’t think something like that would be a highlight but it really is.
My only suggestions at this point would be to maybe add a quick toggle option to see the board only without all the tools. Even less distraction when jotting down ideas. And some sort of angle/rotation lock feature for the text, sometimes when I re-size a text it starts to rotate and I can’t quite get it straight again.
Overall, love the app and really hope Google keeps it around for awhile.Show lessAmartinez86
Great for tutoring and updates in real time!!!
If you are trying to do work in real time, like tutor someone who lives far away from you in math for example, use this app. It updates in real time, has a web application, and is free. The way I used it: I was collaborating on a math problem and I was writing on my iPad, while the other person was 400 miles away on their laptop following along using the web app. It worked out great!!! Best part? It’s free!!!Show lessMiss.Jenn.86
Amazing for remote team collaboration
With the right hardware, namely an iPad and Apple Pencil, this is a fantastic app that can be used for whiteboarding or note taking that syncs nicely with G Suite. I wish there was a way to add blobs of text other than through a sticky note.Emil H
