### 5/5 — Lock feature

*2026-07-07, version 3.4.1*

The lock feature on mine works fine maybe it was a bad switch?

### 1/5 — What a mess! two boogie boards in a row don’t work. The lock feature does not save notes.

*2026-03-28, version 3.4.1*

I cannot recommend these boogie boards. So far I have a larger size one and no matter what I do the lock feature does not save what I write on the board even if I try the different steps like removing battery, etc. nothing has worked. I thought it was just a glitch and the company I bought it from sent me a second one and it’s doing the same thing. I wish there was a feature that had it like a magnet on the back so I could hang it. I can sit there and write notes on it, but it erases the minute I press the erase screen is supposed to save it. It’s not working on either board as far as the reason I bought it. The reason I bought it was to save notes to the boogie board app, and I can’t even figure out how to do that because nothing’s working. The fact that it’s not simple out of the box clear instructions no instructions came with this thing is ridiculous for the amount of money I paid for it. I will be sending both of them back. I do not recommend this. Go on Temu and buy just a plain simple one.

### 1/5 — Addition Bugs Require Fixing

*2025-11-12, version 3.4.0*

I have enjoyed working with this app for many years. With version 3.4.0, the app no longer supports the smart pen as it shows in the Photos for this app. I wrote to the company letting them know about this issue several weeks back. It remains a problem as I write this review

### 1/5 — Removed Carbon Copy Settings

*2025-10-21, version 3.4.0*

This is no longer a helpful app. All it allows is taking photos of notes, which other apps can do and do better. Unless it brings back the carbon copy Bluetooth pen settings, this is more a wasted investment and useless product as it’s a worse version of other apps.

### 1/5 — Broken App

*2025-10-17, version 3.4.0*

Latest update removed “Smart Pen Settings” making the app essentially pointless as you cannot connect your smart pen to actually upload notes. I have received no guidance on this issue from the company.

### 1/5 — Not a very good product.

*2025-09-13, version 3.3.1*

Writing is very light barely usable. App just takes  picture and picks up lots of black spots not in the writing. Very limited and it was $80AU but is really just a toy.

### 1/5 — Not as it states

*2025-03-17, version 3.3.1*

Very poor support. I tried to register and it would not accept any Australian phone no. I entered. So there fore I could not register or can I get any support. Either there is an error in the web form or they don’t want anyone to ask for support. I cannot find any way to reset the eraser as if you follow the instructions you can only get lighter and lighter until it’s invisible. I find the eraser is useless. Better not to use it. When I googled online it said it could be synced to the app. But this too is not right, you need to take a photo of the boogie board and that will place it in notes. If I could get my money back, I would.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-02-17, version 3.3.1*

It makes me write it down then take a picture on the app. Why would I spend $45.00 on the board when I can just grab a sheet of paper and scan it with my phone. Don’t buy this app or board, it’s a complete waste of money.

### 3/5 — Average

*2025-01-09, version 3.3.0*

It’s 2025. This app should have a lot more features. For example there’s no writing to text feature. All your handwritten notes are not searchable for instance. Also, it would be great if you could connect different folders to different services. I don’t want my school notes going to my work email, but I do want meeting notes to do so. In short, the boogie board itself is nice but this companion app is pretty much synonymous with taking pictures of notes you’ve written on a paper pad. No real advantage here except for the fact you can save multiple pages of boogie board notes to the same file. Would love for this app to be more fleshed out.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2023-04-24, version 2.1.1*

Great for saving notes! Sustainable option for replacing paper and pen.
