What's New in Custom Boards Elite

6.1

July 9, 2026

This update brings a comprehensive internal modernization to Custom Boards, focusing on enhanced editing performance, memory efficiency, and seamless system integration for a smoother overall experience. Performance and Stability Canvas Rendering: Optimizations to the underlying layout mapping engine ensure your canvas templates align perfectly across all iPad models, keeping your absolute coordinate text, shapes, and symbol placements completely locked in. Memory Management: Eliminated hidden internal memory leaks and retain cycles when browsing or searching extensive symbol libraries, resulting in faster load times and increased app stability during long editing sessions. Core Refactoring: Streamlined the internal code framework to modern object property standards to ensure smoother background operation and future-proof reliability. Sharing and Connectivity Native Share Sheet Integration: Overhauled the app recommendation flow to use the native iOS Share Sheet. You can now effortlessly recommend the app directly through iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, or any of your preferred communication apps instead of being forced into a legacy email template. Universal Links: Modernized social connectivity channels, allowing support panels to directly open external community platforms seamlessly using iOS Universal Links.

No restore feature for early purchasers

I bought this app many years ago before it became a subscription app, but there is no ‘restore’ feature and I have lost all access to this app on my new device, despite having paid a pretty penny for it. Please add a restore feature for those of us who have supported your app company in its early years.

Bad

I can’t add the symbols

Bought this for 40 bucks, now being forced to subscribe and pay again or move on

A few years ago, I bought Custom Boards for 39.99. I loved it and recommended to others. When I tried to put it on my new iPad, it is trying to charge me $10 bucks a month. I did not know my purchase “expired.” If I paid a couple of bucks, I would not complain but I feel cheated and swindled. Not a great feeling

It's okay not great

I think it could be better because almost everything cost money only some things cost no money. It is a great app though but I wish it didn't have to cost money for some.

Lots of potential

I only have the lite version but can see lots of potential for application. Need to start saving so I can get the full version. Thanks for having a lite version so we can try it out.
