### 5/5 — F-ing amazing

*2024-09-24*

I am so sad to see it go on oct1

### 5/5 — Rebrand this app, Google!

*2024-09-04*

From a guy who loves to draw, I love this app! I love it’s cute color palate that it gives you. I know that I’m using this app wrong, but I don’t really care about what it was for. Please Google, if you can, try to rebrand Jamboard and try to keep all of the Tools, and remain the color palate that you chose. It’s so sad to see this App go..

### 5/5 — please

### 5/5 — Good App

*2024-04-21*

I like the app because it’s good for homeschooling.
My favourite feature is the assistive drawing tool. I do not want Google to remove the app because it is such a good work space and I can learn a lot.

### 5/5 — Jamboard my beloved :(

*2024-04-10*

I’ve been using Jamboard since it came out instead of Pinterest boards for all of my ideas and plans. I love the formatting and how you can make multiple pages of boards. I just really love the style and I’m going to miss Jamboard a lot. it’s my favorite google app. I’ve looked at similar apps, but they’re just not the same. RIP Jamboard :(

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2024-01-16*

Such a lazy way of teaching

### 3/5 — Would be great if it wasn’t so frustrating!!

*2023-08-29*

I love the concept and as a designer it works great for visual brainstorming boards for costumes. However the auto delete at the bottom gets in the way! I can put items at the very bottom because it keeps auto deleting them. Take that feature off! If I want to delete just hit the 3 button icon an choose to delete it. Same for the next page auto feature. Stop putting these auto features on the sides or bottom! It’s so frustrating to use. But I guess I have to until I find better, which I am. This slows me down.

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2023-08-10*

Yes very nice

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2023-08-04*

I have used Jamboard for my future use and portfolio, it’s good for sending slides, printing paper, pictures..ex It’s easy to upload photos and loads quickly on computer. For app usage it is their to keep your work on the go. I can even send my work off easily with no hassle or download slides. The only issue is that is better for a computer or tablet rather then iPhone due to it being hard to move photos and waiting for loads other than that I am a very satisfied user.
Thank you
