### 4/5 — Great app

*2025-04-03, version 1.3.9*

Just wish I could store my colours in a palette

### 3/5 — 付費了但廣告依舊出現

*2024-05-26, version 1.3.9*

．
付費之後確實有陣子廣告沒了，但平板iOS升級後廣告又出現，不知如何解決？

### 4/5 — Very good, but slow

*2024-05-24, version 1.3.9*

I really like this little utility. Nice simple interface, very easy to use, not full of silly functions that you don’t need. Which is why I’ve stuck with it despite issues I have with it.

I don’t think it was like this when I first started using it, but for some reason it is now really, really slow when switching between pages. It takes several seconds for the new page to display, and I can’t see why it should do this?! If this issue was fixed it would get 5 starts!

### 4/5 — 1 star is reduced for no sound.

*2023-12-22*

Chalk and Duster sound is missing but the flow of using it is 99% good.

### 3/5 — Erase all

*2023-12-01, version 1.3.9*

Can you please improve the way I erase all？For example, I just press a button.

### 3/5 — Good but…

*2023-02-24, version 1.3.9*

Can’t add more boards.

### 3/5 — 广告太影响使用体验了

*2022-11-28*

为什么写着写着会出来广告 而且不能叉掉 只能点开广告然后再退出

### 5/5 — 手寫

*2022-05-26, version 1.3.8*

很方便很自然很寫實

### 5/5 — Absolutely great app!

*2022-05-10, version 1.3.8*

Hi, this is really the best chalk-board app I ever seen, but please add the option off “grid” which definitely help to better drawing but this nice chalk drawing app..

### 4/5 — Page continuity.

*2022-05-07, version 1.3.8*

It’s an amazing app and use it everyday to teach. I would appreciate if the blackboard would also continue to scroll down as much as we want and just not limited to one square. Sometimes a math problem is long and I need to keep going on the same board. Switching and adding another board for the same question makes it difficult to follow.

### 4/5 — 4/5

*2022-03-13*

Good but when you download things you draw you should be able to download the entire SET OF DRAWINGS

### 5/5 — 너무 좋아요.

*2022-03-09*

너무 좋아서 필기 100페이지 이상 저장해두고 있습니다. 그런데 새 칠판 추가하는 기능이 메인에 있으면 좋겠어요. 100페이지 넘겨야 칠판 추가할 수 있게 되어있어서 너무 불편해요.

### 5/5 — 希望增加放大缩小幕布功能

*2022-02-12*

个人感觉现在粉笔最细的对我来说还是有点粗了，所以希望要么粉笔更细一些，要么背景板可以放大缩小，这样就可以用来整理大纲和思路了

### 5/5 — 可以在添加相片等工能嗎？

*2022-01-25, version 1.3.8*

可以在添加相片等工能嗎？

### 5/5 — 非常不错，但是功能有点欠缺

*2021-12-10*

1，没办法导入PDF或者图片这简直让它的使用范围缩小了一大半 2，黑板的样式只有两种可以再多两种就好了
3，缩放功能

### 5/5 — 驚為天人

*2021-12-07, version 1.3.8*

只是想找個不難用的app快速畫一下草圖，結果超乎期待的好用，功能簡單不複雜，操作直覺幾乎不需要學習，正是我要找的 🥰

### 5/5 — Best

*2021-09-26, version 1.3.8*

I have nothing to say when I compare to other apps you the best

### 4/5 — 페이지 추가 편리하게

*2021-09-18*

칠판 어플리케이션 잘 쓰고 있습니다 메모 용도 등으로 아주 좋네요 다만 페이지 추가할 때 꼭 편집을 들어가야한다는 부분은 다소 불편하네요 칠판 화면에서 페이지를 추가할 수 있는 기능과 편집창에서 페이지를 다수 선택해서 한 번에 지울 수 있는 기능을 부탁해요

### 1/5 — Vollgestopft mit Werbung

*2026-02-26*

Es ploppt ständig Werbung auf.
Sehr nervig - so ist kein Workflow möglich

### 1/5 — not good

*2022-03-17, version 1.3.8*

not good

### 1/5 — Lol

*2021-02-05, version 1.3.6*

Lol

### 1/5 — Nothing excitement

*2020-08-21, version 1.3.4*

Boring chalkboard.

### 1/5 — Do not buy

*2020-07-03, version 1.3.4*

I paid for the ad-free version, it still shows ads. Nowhere in the app to turn off ads. Do not pay!

### 1/5 — It doesn't work at all

*2020-05-29*

Pathetic

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-04-19, version 1.3.3*

Tried a few times, and nothing shows up when I write. I selected different colors, different settings, nothing worked. Not sure if I am missing something? But if it doesn’t write, then what’s the use 🤷🏻‍♀️

### 2/5 — 렉걸리는 거 고쳐주세요

*2020-09-21*

렉이 많이 걸려서 애플펜슬기 끊겨서 써져요. 돈주고 다운 받았는데 아무리 싸도 이건 아니지 않나요? 빨리 고쳐주세요 이거 쓰다가 열불나 죽겠네요
 그리고 다른색고르는 칸을 한번 탭하면 바로 쓸 수 있고 두번 탭하면 색을 변경하도록 하면 좋을 것 같아요 선택할때마다 색을 또 지정하고 쓰려니까 저금 불편하네요

### 2/5 — What I think about this app

*2020-06-13, version 1.3.4*

This app is a little good but could u Change the delete button please

### 2/5 — Ok, needs to turn off the finger so only pen works.

*2020-05-01, version 1.3.3*

If you are drawing with pen and your hand touches the screen it marks it, other programs have ability to turn off accidentally swipes and JUST use the pencil only. This is an app killer. Shame, had potential.

### 5/5 — 정말 잘 쓰고있습니다.

*2023-03-12*

수년간 정말 잘 쓰고 있습니다. 이것만은 칠판앱이 정말없어요. 칠판 페이지가 최근것부터 나오게 표시되면 좋겠어요. 그리고 칠판 지울 때 경고메시지를 안나왔으면 좋겠어요

### 5/5 — life-changing productivity app for students and home educators

*2022-12-11, version 1.3.8*

The Chalkboard App by Sujuan Chen is a perfect choice at a very reasonable price for students, teachers, and home educators. I find this especially useful while studying for a Math Equivalency test in preparation for entry to a teacher training degree.

Using the Chalkboard App along with an Apple Pencil and iPad Pro has made my Math studies much more efficient and interesting. The colour of the blackboard can be changed to four different types. I particularly enjoy using the black blackboard with chalky surface effect, along with the smallest size chalk setting and biggest eraser setting. The chalk writing actually looks like chalk, rather than pen, which creates the illusion of having written on an actual board! 

I look forward to using this app to learn more math and teach students in future. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2022-10-27*

Easy to use. Very good!

### 5/5 — 感受

*2022-10-05*

这个软件真的非常的好用，我平时默写啊，还有计算什么的都是用这个软件特别的好用。

### 5/5 — Good

*2022-09-22, version 1.3.8*

Good
