-- Create freely, work naturally –
Microsoft Whiteboard provides an infinite canvas where imagination has room to grow: draw, type, add a sticky note or a notes grid, move them around – it’s all possible. The touch-first, pen-first interface frees your ideas from the keyboard, and the intelligent inking technology transforms your doodles into great-looking shapes and lines that can be copied, pasted and combined with other objects. Moreover, you can also, ink on your sticky notes & text boxes and magically see the ink get converted to text using Apple Scribble functionality (on iPads with Apple Pencil).
 

--Collaborate in real time, wherever you are—
Microsoft Whiteboard brings every member of a team together working from their own devices across the globe.  On the Whiteboard canvas, you can also see what your teammates are doing in real time and start collaborating on the same area. It’s about getting everyone on the same page – or board.
 
--Save automatically, resume seamlessly –
Forget having to take photos of your whiteboards, or marking them with “Do Not Erase.” With Microsoft Whiteboard, your brainstorming sessions are saved automatically to the Microsoft cloud, so you can pick up where you left off, whenever – and wherever – inspiration strikes next.

Can’t even log in

### 5/5 — This app is great for mind maps

*2026-06-05, version 25.11204.0.9201*

This app is really handy for making mind map but can glitch from time to time, this is not a problem because it is easy to fix. The backgrounds help me keep my work straight.

### 1/5 — How this app sucks so much

*2026-05-30, version 25.11204.0.9201*

I got this app and i am 10 years old and when it got done downloading it asked me for my email address which I don’t have one and I needed this app for stick nodes aka an app that I got like maybe 4 or 6 days ago and I’m very good at animating things so back to Microsoft whiteboard and then I went to ask my mom what is my email address and she said that I didn’t have one so that’s why this app sucks totally DONT RECOMMEND THIS APP AND THEY SAY THIS IS 4+

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2026-05-18, version 25.11204.0.9201*

It doesnt even allow you to simply log in or sign up what a useless app

### 5/5 — whiteboard

*2026-05-14, version 25.11204.0.9201*

cho thêm downloads về máy thì tuyệt vời

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-05-06, version 25.11204.0.9201*

Good

### 1/5 — Response time is delayed.

*2026-05-03, version 25.11204.0.9201*

This is an okay app there are a lot of features to it. However it has an extreme delayed response to touch. Additionally there are instances where the whole platform freezes and crashes. When using the ruler option, it erases half of what you have already written.

### 5/5 — I love it but

*2026-04-25, version 25.11204.0.9201*

I wish there was more stuff. I used to play on this app so much when I was younger until I just got bored

### 4/5 — Glitches

*2026-04-25, version 25.11204.0.9201*

Very good at jotting down notes, I like the different functions. Sometimes it glitches though and only provides half the page so i cant access the other half

### 1/5 — Impossible à utiliser

*2026-04-23, version 25.11204.0.9201*

Je pense qu’il fait partie des pires applications que j’ai utilisé, impossible d’écrire plus de 2 secondes avant que  ca beuge. Je ne recommande vraiment pas.
