### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2026-05-23, version 2.0.3*

Sometimes it doesn’t scan exactly what I draw, but it’s usually Quite similar. I know that this app 100% could be better and I don’t think that the people who made this app tried very hard.
Could be better. I do recommend for anyone who has a boogie board But it is not completely necessary. You can still use the board without the app.

### 1/5 — Developer removes top twice

*2026-05-06, version 2.0.3*

The scanning works well except for it seems the developers accounted for the top and strip twice when scanning, resulting in a chunk of the top of the content you’re trying to capture missing. The top strip is removed from the correctly recognized outline of the actual board! So close to actually working right! The bottom of the capture also has the same thing going on.

### 1/5 — Great idea bad implementation

*2025-07-05, version 1.1.7*

For a brand new boogie board had the app qr on the box. The app is simple yet there is a major problem. The scan area cuts off all the size. I even manually select the entire area and it still cuts off the size. That’s just bad implementation. I have to extend the size by almost an inch and a half outside the board writing area just to get it to work properly. Since there is no calibration and I don’t feel like doing this every time I’m not going to continue to use this app if they are not willing to fix a minor issue like this.

### 2/5 — Needs fixing

*2025-06-26, version 1.1.7*

Incredibly annoying and frustrating that the scan won’t pick up the bottom inch or so of the screen. Also cuts off corners. What’s the point of making this size of boogie board if your app won’t even scan the whole thing. Makes shopping list get cut off.

### 1/5 — Never works on iPad mini

*2025-04-12, version 1.1.7*

Scan seems broken. I like the real boogie board, this app seems like beta software not ready for prime time.

### 1/5 — Pointless app

*2025-04-03, version 1.1.7*

There is no reason to have this app when you can just take a picture yourself with your own camera and have a lot less headache because you scan your board and then it doesn’t get all the edges it doesn’t get the light writing it’s got to be heavy and bold or is doesn’t pick it up well it’s just a chore to use #DoBetter

### 3/5 — Good but image is cut off at edges

*2024-12-14, version 1.1.7*

The app is decent but image is cut off at edges. Also image can have little grainy black dots that don’t exist on my drawing or are minor smudges that can be ignored. Otherwise good for simple note taking.

### 1/5 — Do not buy

*2024-09-01, version 1.1.7*

Do not buy it is junk, $19 is to much money for trash

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2023-10-28, version 1.1.6*

So easy and quick!

Yay no more paper needed!

### 4/5 — Ok

*2023-08-21, version 1.1.6*

Good idea work well but some times it won’t read your pen marks on the boogie bord.
