### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-07-27, version 8.3*

Really on of the best apps for whiteboards/planning etc.

### 1/5 — corkulous

*2026-06-01, version 8.3*

keeps crashing on the imac pro m5

### 5/5 — Super

*2026-03-21, version 8.3*

Can’t live without this. Use it for storyboard and much more. Perhaps my most important tool after email and basics. Negative reviews below must be for an earlier version. This latest is perfect!

### 3/5 — Great app, but I don’t need another subscription

*2026-03-20, version 8.3*

I’ve had Corkulous for years and it was fun to build a board with photos and string and pins like I was tracking a serial killer, but I don’t use it that often and I’m not willing to pay for another subscription.

### 4/5 — Could use more features

*2026-03-12, version 8.3*

I would love to see this in a windows version and to have a few more modernizations. If so it would be my main note taking and mind mapping app.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2026-02-12, version 8.3*

A joy!

### 1/5 — Greedy POS

*2026-02-11, version 8.3*

After only a few cards and 1 picture it told me that I had to subscribe to add anything else! I am sick to death of everything being a subscription. If it were $10 to $15 for a PURCHASE and worked on Mac, iPad, AND iPhone, It might be worth it. But $40 for a lifetime, $15 a year is not worth it. Just save your money and use Apple Notes or something else.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-01-07, version 8.3*

This app stinks…..  deleted my board… can’t do anything with my board either.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2025-12-09, version 8.3*

It is easy to use app with features not found very often that are very useful for keeping any kind of information that you like. It is one of my essential apps.

### 5/5 — Great but has its issues

*2025-11-15*

Great app, it's very useful to me. My only complaints are that the controls (specifically dragging + moving parts aren't the easiest or the most comfortable. I also wish i could choose a new look/skin for the board and all of the parts on it (at once) so i could have a more modern look. Other than that, it's a great app
