### 5/5 — Love the experience

*2020-04-16*

Easy to use, looks good and works well. It’s given me more confidence in my ideas.

### 5/5 — Needs full iOS 11 compatibility: split-screen, drag and drop;

*2018-03-16*

The app is simple in design and use. It works well from everything I’ve tested so far.

The drag & drop within the app works well. I used it to create a simple Kanban (Scrum, Agile, etc) board.

It needs full compatibility with iOS 11 like adding split-screen and drag and drop from other apps (text, images, handwritten notes). Also it would be nice to have some integration with Apple Notes and Apple Reminder apps.

### 1/5 — No iOS11 support?!

*2017-11-13, version 1.7.0*

Was a great app, I hadn’t used in a while.  When I tried to use it this morning I saw that I couldn’t even open the app b/c it was not available.  I’ll re-rate once it’s up and going again.

### 4/5 — Articulate ideas easily

*2016-02-28, version 1.7.0*

Very easy to use, and a great way to explain ideas you have to others due to the way it organises each part. Also as the user you get the important details fully developed quickly.

The only issue I found using it on an iPad Mini was the drawing function, as the limited size of the resulting stickies means it is hard to get much of use down in graphical form. Would be great to be able to import a .png/.jpg, etc or perhaps have the sticky increase in size while drawing takes place.

But my favourite app currently, using it daily.

### 4/5 — Well put together! Dropbox support yeah!

*2015-07-23*

Thanks for this tool, as it is great and now shareable via Dropbox!

### 5/5 — Brilliant and simple to use

*2015-05-24, version 1.7.0*

This is so easy to use. Brilliant and so visual.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2014-02-05*

It's a great app but needs some bug fixes

### 4/5 — So far so good

*2013-09-03*

So far so good of an app.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2013-08-03*

The app works well enough, but it's disappointing that it's useless if you want to add any meat to the sticky notes. The notes don't display very much of the information you input (only the first two or three words). Additionally, the sticky notes are too big for the boxes - one runs out of space quickly. I was hoping this would allow for inputting a lot of depth, like the actual canvas model and book suggest.... But it doesn't.

### 4/5 — It's great

*2013-07-27, version 1.5*

The idiot that gave one star just doesn't understand the product or he hasn't read the manual (if £1.49 is a big deal he hasn't launched a company yet either!) . This is a brilliant app and allows you to use the clean canvas model easily.

Using it on the ipad means I can adjust and make changes to my models easily and update any new information I find quickly.

This isn't a game app it is for those that want to create proper business ideas quickly so that you can see if they are viable or not or if you need more information. It also shows you immediately where you need to test.

A great product based on a great idea.
