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. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2023-05-16* As someone who downloaded this app to find another app similar to Apple’s Freeform I could only notice the lack of stock shapes and objects that would allow me personalise and illustrate my whiteboard more easily. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work as well on the mobile app?? *2023-03-28* I stopped using the mobile app altogether when I did not need to use the app from my hospital bed when I didn’t have my computer. I started using it again for a tad bit to check recent updates on one of my Jamboards. Only to be met with utter disappointment. When I went into the app, everything was a green flag, I was logged into my account, and everything was in order until I opened the designated jam board; it kept on freezing, and it was in no way updated from its last spot. Every slide in that jam board was back from late February, not from march, the jam board did not correct, and to top it off, it freezes every 0.2 milliseconds. I am deleting and reinstalling the app, for this is the only way I can make silly slides with my best friend. This problem is crucial, and I cannot believe the mobile app has let me down. These bug fixes must be fixed, and I will not change my opinion until all is corrected. Thank you for your time, and have a good day. ### 4/5 — I like it *2022-12-12, version 2.1.99* I like it. The writing tools are nice. It’s helpful to stay organized and you don’t necessarily have to think too much about the set up. It takes the pressure off. On another note (get it?) the preview photos here are REALLY bad. Lol, who was in charge of that. ### 2/5 — User limit of 25! *2022-09-09, version 2.1.85* Who decided that a user limit of 25 was a good idea. I work in a large public school, some of our courses have 31 or more students enrolled. So instead of using this great app for kids to work collaboratively and be visible and accountable for their learning, now we have to share…why bother! If they have to share I will just go back to paper which never runs out of wifi or battery. ### 3/5 — Needs work *2022-08-15, version 2.1.83* It can take a good five minutes just to load a previous jamboard. It's good when you are sharing with other people, and they need to see it, or if they want to add to it, but it can take FOREVER to load a jamboard. And sometimes I need to jump between a few of them. So, it can take a good 10 or so minutes just to get the info I need. Not to mention that sometimes, you'll come across a page that was previously written on, and it's bugged out. Like, it'll be pixelated, or sometimes it's all moved around in a weird way. And the whole jamboard does crash, once in a while causing loss of data. I hope they improve this. It's quite a lot sometimes when I'm trying to dig up info I need from previous jamboards. ### 5/5 — The best collaborative whiteboarding I've ever used *2022-07-11, version 2.1.79* Absolutely wonderful. Best remote collaborative mind storming tool I have ever used. Using it on iPad with Apple pencil. Amazing for diagrams with or without text. Assisted drawing is the best feature ever made. Yes, there are some bugs but I was able to overcome those by simply refreshing. ### 4/5 — I wonder… *2022-06-11, version 2.1.73* I like this and it works but the thing I wonder is why do a lot of iPhone users say it won’t work for them? I myself am an iPhone user and yet I haven’t had any issues. ### 4/5 — Mia.C’s opinion *2022-04-04* I love jamboard but I would prefer it if there would be more colours on post it notes and the pens. ### 4/5 — Too Buggy *2022-03-31, version 2.1.63* Using the app in chem lecture with about 100 students. App glitches and closes out on me almost every lecture. Any time I tap the button to access the multi-slide view, the app closes, even when I’m using it outside of class. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Garbage *2024-01-16* Such a lazy way of teaching ### 1/5 — Can’t do anything *2023-05-29* At the moment this app is a one star. The reason is the button to make new jam boards doesn’t work. I tried deleting the app and re-downloading it but it didn’t work. If you can fix this problem that would be great but since I actually can’t work on it at the moment it’s a one star. ### 1/5 — You thought it was over. *2023-03-23* IM BACK. So I was just working on my project and I have never been more angry in my life. YOU GUYS literally deleted the bloody paragraph that the person in my group had written. You wasted her time and made her shed multiple tears. You are guys are the fun police and the literal instigators of our generation. Now BECAUSE OF YOU my TEAMAT E has to rewrite the whole paragraph that she had already took her time and effort to write. I am so tired of this app and I genuinely think that it needs to be deleted from the face of the Earth. ### 1/5 — Ugh! SO annoying and hard to use! *2023-03-01* YEA! Its good and all; but its so hard to use and just so fiddely, i would NOT recommend downloading this stupid app because: its hard to use; ita very annoying when your draging things; and the page is really small. PLEASE could you fix this app and make it so when you drag text down it doesnt delete and when you drag it to the side it does not go to the next page. BESIDES THAT. I suppose its ok. - Angry Karen ### 1/5 — Annoying app *2022-12-17, version 2.1.101* I usually use jambord at my computer but, because of my work I had to use them on ipad. But the app itself was so different as one I use in my mac. I had to write text on images ang on slides but there wasn't a text intere. So, I gave up s\finding those texts and I tried to write with sticky notes. However, it was useless and I messed up that day's wok. Another part that I'm confused with is that I had worked with jamborad in link but, after few days chrome made me to download this app. I downloaded because it was emergency but, this app is really.... Idan't have anything to say. It's really useless. ### 1/5 — 👎 *2022-10-25* miss p makes me cry using jamboard ### 1/5 — Horrible just Horrible *2022-10-13* Its so hard to control and one time I trie to edit a sticky note when I clicked done NONE OF THE CHANGES APPLIED at first I thought it was ok it was ok its just an app but one time I had to do thins project on the cree community on this and thats when I realized do better on your jamboard google ### 1/5 — Frequently craches *2022-10-05* The app often crashes especially when I try to use the thumbnails. It does not support thai lletters. When I read thai text written when using pc, it appeasrs as ???? ### 1/5 — Lack of functionality, riddled with bugs *2022-05-27, version 2.1.71* So first off, I’ve never had an app crash on me so many times in one sitting. I was connected to cellular data (in Japan, this is never an issue) and the app would just suddenly have an “unexpected” error and just close out. The lack of auto-saving after any edits are made like the Microsoft office products meant I was continuously doing the same thing over and over. There is literally no control over font or formatting for anything typed. The sticky notes repetitively add ? marks when you hit enter to start a new paragraph or when trying to make lists. The delete and net page function makes it extremely difficult to make a layout that uses the full screen. Using a stylus/pen on a tablet for writing is okay at best until you use the “write to type” function. It’s a cool idea, just EXTREMELY executed in all the worst ways. ### 1/5 — 👎 *2022-05-14, version 2.1.69* It has the potential to be a great app for notes. It’s almost everything I need. However, sometimes it just fails and I need to restart the app multiple times. Also, sometimes it has bugs that ruin my notes since it stacks my notes or puts weird lines that mess up the organization of my notes. Disappointed because there is great potential. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 *2024-08-04* don’t remove it all the amazing memories will turn into dusk please don’t ### 5/5 — :( *2024-06-11* i am going to be so sad when you leave. my friend. my companion. i’ll miss you beyond measure.. ### 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 :( ### 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 ### 5/5 — Jambord *2023-01-08* Jambord is good but it won’t let me sign in And I had to delet the app but it is still god it only works on my laptop ### 5/5 — High Hopes!! *2022-09-20, version 2.1.85* I’m starting out in affiliate marketing, well kind of starting but I plan to try this out as an explaining tool, when i try to verbally explain things,.. i forget the highlights. Or trying to get Funding , i can use this as a graph or statitics board,.. Look out Here. I Come! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
