  • UPDATED - First Board LOST! Rubbish!

    UPDATED. Message to Developer.
    I have notifications that you have responded but I have no idea how to read your respinses. I've even Googled 'how to read responses' but no joy so far.

    ORIGINAL REVIEW:
    I see this app has potential but after spending time creating loads of stuff on a board and then thinking I could drag that board into iCloud, it crashed and my board was LOST! GONE.
    For an app that's been around for many years I am SHOCKED that such a basic thing could not only CRASH the app but also DELETE MY BOARD!
    £45 for this??? I must be mad!

    Another thought: How old is this software? All these years and yet there are so many niggles.

    No mouse-over tool tips (there are tools that I have no idea what they do and have to rely on YouTube to find out)!

    No 'fit to window' on size options.

    Why the heck does it show the colour code within the text every time I change colour of a bit of text on a note?

    Why is there not an option to select which tools appear in the touchbar so the user can pick their favourite tools?

    Why why oh why so many times.

    It really makes me think the developers simply can't be bothered to modernise the ap they have been making money from for many years.

    The PEN tool... OMG! How bad!
    I tested the pen by opening a board on my iPad and discovered the pen ALWAYS goes BEHIND any other element on the board and there is no way to bring the pen marks to the front. Also, after adding pen marks and WAITING for the changes to appear on my Mac, I then cleared the pen marks on my iPad and a while later, according to the thumbnail on my Mac (even though other things have already sync'd) the pen marks are still there.

    Closed the board, reopened the board, and the pen marks are still there.

    Opened the board on my iPad, no pen marks (this is where I deleted them). But still, on my Mac, the pen marks (my doodles) are still there.

    My goodness this app has so many niggles!

    We spoke to this user and “rationally” explained some misunderstandings. We offered they get a refund and he passed.
  • Don’t think you should have to buy extra things

    At first sight it is a great game but I realized you have to use money to get unlimited items on your board and I found that out when I was working on one and barely add anything and it told me I reached the limit and I would need to pay to be able to finish it which in my opinion is a unnecessary thing to add. Another thing is you can’t make the font any bigger on you labels or notes for some reason and the labels you can’t increase the size at all everything else is amazing but if they would fix those two things it would be five star ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ but right now it is a 3.

    Double tap or click on a label or other text items which brings up the editors. There you can change the font and font size. Write in support for help.
  • iPhone/ MacPro not working

    iPhone version read only for boards made on MacPro. No solution from support.

    Use the icloud or dropbox shares in folders.
  • Hard to use

    I thought this would be such a great app but I its found really difficult to move items or change their size. In other app I am able to adjust size and move things around quickly and easily just by clicking is not the case here. I also found it annoying that I could not delete a scribble easily or the that there is no guide to tell what each tool is or does there are a ton of videos but I would like to easily pull up a manual of some sort with a description of each tool and its function. This app has a lot of potential if some of these issues were resolved

  • Excellent Vision Board

    This is an easy to use and very well-designed app.
  • Dreadful. So many flaws.

    Probably the most frustrating app I ever bought.
    Many useful features and once you realise what doesn’t actually work and decide to just use the features that do actually work, it can be useful. Very outdated app that the developers are happy to leave as is rather than modernise it and make it more user-friendly and fully functional.

  • Good not great

    I found this quite helpful but I feel like it need a grab too for moving things around as it kept moving things when I grabbed something else causing me to have to reorganise the mess I had unintentionally made a button to drag and drop or a select tool maybe could be helpful. Though I will stay it may actually have these features and I could be just to simple minded to figure it out.

  • useful but glitchy

    useful idea, and am using it, but still glitchy
  • Great software but another subscription to bear

    Well implemented (the original Corkulous was great too) and I have started to use it on my new iPad. Sad to see yet another developer go for a subscription service. If you work out what it costs per user to get an Office 365 yearly subscription and then compare it with this, you can see that this is grossly over priced, given the limited complexity of the product and the service offered. Please offer a single one off payment!
    Updated - a single lifetime subscription - at a reasonable rate compared with other apps. Glad the developer understood the argument despite his acerbic reply. I bought the lifetime subscription. Thanks.

    Grossly overpriced is a ridiculous statement. 15 bucks for an iOS and macOS version? Corkulous costs less than one month of Office 365. Be fair if you plan to review like this. Also, perhaps you should check our feature list on what's new and see the annual updates.
  • Great Sketcher

    It is a great little digital board to sketch out ideas and organize things. My only qualm is that it doesn’t connect to windows
