The wonderful app

the app is a gem, that allowed my kids to get online lessons during covid,

years later, they keep using it as notebook, that could be printed for physical records; all, while having a notes within a distance of a click to be shared with tutor and/or family, friends

years come by, and I am still glad to pay for the subscription to wonderful developers!

Scribble helps me serve my high school students

Scribble allows me to write notes and annotate any PDF or image for my students.

I am able to project with my computer but use my iPad to write. This allows me to send my notes to my special education students immediately in class which allows them to see the notes at their desk as I write them out. I also send the link to notes to my special education students’ case managers which cuts down on extra work for me later.

The capability to share each Scribble screen via URL has further empowered me to enhance the workflow using the Shortcuts app.

Agreed: Almost perfect

•When uploading image to markup, please allow color wheel or full spectrum colors, some photos need specific colors to actually be visibly marked up

•I would love it if you allowed maybe multiple minimum 3 or so opacity-customizable layers to markup; certain marks can appear on certain layers so that one can quickly markup between sets of notes on the same page without having to permanently delete the previous markings just yet - at least for projects with only one user

Otherwise, the limitless scrolling is actually genius. Same with the vector pen, makes taking quick doodles for notes so much easier. So please add the above

•Utter nitpick: an app icon different than the stussy would be nice; and while I really like the 3DLive background, I would prefer being able to choose just a singular color. I think there’s an option and I’m just blind so, I’ll fix this when I find it.

Highlighter, brush sizes, color picker

The thing that shines with this app is the way I can easily connect to another person and doodle or slightly annotate together in real time. The problem with this app is the lack of features. If you expect people to pay monthly, then we need to see this app mature in basic features. If I want to highlight on a PDF, I have to use the horrid shape tool which is not productive. Can we please get a normal highlighter. Can we please get different sizes for each brush, erase (not just delete) a full page, full spectrum of colors via a color picker and allow the user to choose their own color swatches. Basic things. Thanks Bridger.

Excellent app for whiteboard tutoring

This app is simple and intuitive. Would highly recommend for online tutoring! This app. is a life saver for tutors, you can upload worksheets and attach it to your whiteboard , you can draw straight lines and circles, sending a whiteboard invite to a student is seamless and easy to do and most important of all students love this app! All boards can be exported as PDF.You can also import PDF documents and worksheets into scribble and work on them during the session.This is the only interactive whiteboard that has come close to perfection! You can also rename all your boards and they are automatically time stamped. Monthly subscription is a bargain!

Almost perfect

Update: They’ve fixed pretty much everything I originally had an issue with—I still think this is one of the best whiteboard apps out there!

This is by far the best white board app I’ve found on the white board so far, but there are a few things that are missing. First, there should be a way to select the color theme manually. My iPad is always on dark mode, but I’d much rather write on a whiteboard than blackboard. Also, there should be a clear canvas option. I use this app a lot for jotting down scratch work and it’s really annoying I always need to use the selection tool to clear the canvas. And why does pressing on one of the buttons below open (like the marker button) always open up the additional options? It’s a small thing but it really bugs me; it should be a double tap to open up additional options since I don’t want to see those every time I change from the pen to eraser. If these things are fixed I’d be more than happy to give this app 5 stars.

Response from developer

We've made a bunch of updates! There is now a way to set the dark/light color theme manually (in All Boards -> Settings). Pressing a tool button also doesn't open the additional options until you tap it again. There still isn't a clear canvas option, but you can quickly get a fresh space by scrolling down or starting a blank Sheet. We hope you like the changes! *:・゚*:・゚ ~~~~ May-Li and Bridger ~~~ *:・゚*:・゚

Perfect for remote tutoring with a pdf workbook

First time ever writing a review for an app. This app is exactly what I needed for tutoring students remotely! I can import their workbook as a pdf and then we can work on it together in real time. I can see what they’re writing and make corrections, I love the use of the laser pointer tool, and the scrolling together feature is great to keep us on the same page (literally!). Thank you so much for this app, and I hope you keep supporting it through all iOS upgrades as I would hate to ever lose access to it!

Thank you so much for the kind words! - Bridger and May-Li

Literally the best app ever created

A day does not go by that I do not use this app. I help all my grandchildren with their schoolwork using Scribble. It is by far the most flawless, convenient and productive collaborative app available. To work with anyone on almost anything is as simple as turning on an iPad.
Even several years after I wrote the above, Scribble remains the most valuable app I have ever used. As an educator often dealing with remote learning, this is unquestionably the best shared whiteboard app available. With its added features over the years Scribble has become one if a kind.

Perfect for Remote assistance with math

The app allows me to help my family with homework problems when we’re not together.

One of my most valuable tools

I do a lot of online educational work and this digital whiteboard app has been rock solid. The best part is that my students don’t need any bespoke software or hardware. I don’t know of any other app that comes close with Scribble in terms of interoperability and ease of use.
