### 1/5 — Terrible and unreliable.

*2018-10-25*

There’s nothing to add...it’s terrible and unreliable

### 5/5 — Fantastic! Make my life easier

*2017-01-23, version 8.0.3*

BoardPad is a fantastic piece of meeting software. I save so much time by receiving my board papers straight to my iPad so I can review whenever I have time. I really like the annotation tools and being able to track action items.

### 1/5 — Always late when iOS upgrades occur Boardpad never ready

*2015-09-26, version 7.0.0*

This app is unreliable. We have had ongoing issues with it usually just when we most need it at the time when we need to download our papers. It is slow to download, cumbersome and always behind never compatible with new IOS major upgrades at time of writing it is still not compatible with ios9! Most of my other apps are compatible.

### 5/5 — Fantastic board resource

*2014-09-09, version 5.0.0*

Simple and easy to use.

### 4/5 — Generally excellent but some tweaks needed

*2014-05-07, version 5.0.0*

This is a great way to receive, read and annotate papers but can we have the following delay with:
Commas not easily available on the keyboard when typing in notes, please add them to main keyboard screen
No spell check in typing notes - this really needs changing as iPad typing is always a little hit and miss.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2012-09-08, version 3.0.2*

The layout, from what I can see looks good but I cannot get it to stop crashing.

### 3/5 — Sort of ok

*2012-05-01, version 3.0.1*

Easier with use. In fact, gets to be good. Some suggestions for change, please:
Text boxes for annotating are poor - users cant resize them & they are always centre justified. This makes writing lists & using them as the basis for making comments in a meeting irritating.
And, the website for providing the company with input has to be about the worst - it requires disclosure of too much information before you can provide a comment. Odd, really!
