Unless you only want to see the screen sharing. ### 2/5 — Nice but needs voice support *2016-06-02* The collaboration is nice, but it really needs support for voice conferencing like the of software has ### 1/5 — Still crashing *2015-06-20, version 1.2.40.0* At the time of this writing, Bridgit was still crashing using Air 2 and iOS 8.3 ### 5/5 — Finally an update that works *2015-05-27, version 1.2.40.0* It's been a while since SMART has updated this app, but it's been worth the wait. All the bugs I noticed in the previous version seem to be fixed. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2015-05-24, version 1.2.40.0* Update just makes it crash at startup (on iPad Air 2 with IOS8.3)! I deleted and reloaded, it didn't crash until I entered a server, and then there was an instant crash again... ### 1/5 — Mrs Anne *2015-04-20, version 1.1.234.0* TERRIBLE!!! and DISAPPOINTED ### 1/5 — Doesn't support iOS7 and 8 *2015-01-29* SMART has not updated the app since 2013 and it shows. The app explodes on iOS8 when connecting to the server. SMART is clearly not committed to this application. Get with it SMART! ### 1/5 — App stopped working after upgrade to newest IOS *2015-01-13* App doesn't work on Apple products ios7 or newer. SMART needs to fix this ### 1/5 — Stopped working, SMART’s response: ???? *2014-11-19* I work in a school district where we have SMART Boards in almost every classroom. We have also used the Bridgit app to mirror the teacher’s screen to iPads for students with visual impairments. This has been vital in creating access for our visually impaired population. NOW the app stopped working on iOS devices that are running iOS 7 or newer. SMART acknowledged this is a compatibility issue and that the app hasn’t been updated in over a year and that there are no plans of updating in the future. BUMMER ### 1/5 — bad bad bad *2013-08-30, version 1.1.234.0* Bad ## Frequently asked questions about Bridgit ### Does Bridgit support video or VoIP calls?
