I had to restart the iPhone to change the preferences. Why does this app need sound? ### 4/5 — Needs more features *2010-12-12, version 3.1* -Please add PANING, so theres more then the ipod's screen b4 u have to save it. Also be nice if you could save different drawings w/ different names -More colors -ability to change thickness of pen -single menu button for more room to draw on screen ### 4/5 — Good but missing two killer features *2010-04-01, version 0* 1. Should be able to annotate a drawing while happening in realtime with voice. 2. Then it should be possible to save the playback as a QuickTime movie and send it via email. Adding these two features, IMO, would make this a runaway best seller. ### 3/5 — Cool idea *2010-01-08, version 0* This is a cool app, but serves no real purpose. But I like it anyway. ### 3/5 — Nice *2009-12-09, version 0* Works as advertised for me on my iPhone 3G. I like it and and imagine lots of uses for it. Would like to see different pen sizes (especially skinnier) and the ability to scroll. Otherwise, I like it! ### 4/5 — I like this app!!! *2009-09-23, version 0* The only thing I would add would be the ability to zoom while writing. That way the user could write smaller but still be able to read it when viewing the entire white board. ### 3/5 — Nice Potential *2009-09-22, version 0* A few suggestions for the developer: 1. Different marker sizes 2. More marker color choices 3. Shake to erase ### 4/5 — Easy Useful App *2009-08-06, version 0* First, you can save and email as many drawings/images as you like. Just capture and email from photo gallery as others have explained. As for sound, just turn your ringer down and I imagine the developer could add on/off in update. I can not draw, but have already used this app to explain basic design for a logo, and a rough map. ### 4/5 — Great app *2009-04-10, version 0* It does what it says. I can find many uses. There should be a way to get rid of the sound. Also,it could be a nice feature to be able to save the work within the app Thanks. ### 3/5 — Just For Fun *2009-02-01, version 0* It works. Rather nicely. For what? Don't ask me. Passing notes in class? Playing games with a lover? Just keep it very, very simple. No architectual drawings here, but something endearingly personal and primitive in what it can do. ### 4/5 — Smooth *2009-01-09, version 0* Nice and smooth, the only problem I have with the program is the save feature. I hope that future updates evolve the save feature to included some sort of file oganization. Other than that great app. ### 4/5 — Save Instructions *2009-01-08, version 0* First press power button on top edge of iPhone and hold down. Then press round button (a.k.a. "home") on front of phone. Tada! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — DO NOT GET THISSSS! *2011-11-29, version 3.1* this is a stupid app it needs more colors and needs to be able t o change pen size i wasted my money (DO NOT GET THIS APP!) ### 1/5 — Good idea - needs work!! *2010-01-10, version 0* Generally don't review but this was a let down in its current state. No zoom, no marker sizes, no "all off" on the ink and lack luster pecision in drawing feel make this pretty useless for anything more than writing your name like a 3rd grader. Good news is that the inclusion of the first 2 items and some finesse work on the drawing feel would take this a lot closer to being very useful. Good start !! ### 1/5 — It could be better *2009-09-26, version 0* If you can't write well with your finger or your thumb then don't waiste your money on this because it has such a tiny screen and it is hard to read the writing and when you are finished, you can't email it...... ### 1/5 — Terrible! *2009-09-23, version 0* The iPhone simply isn't a good platform for this kind of software. A tablet PC with a stylus would be much more appropriate....but not a tiny screen controlled by your finger! ### 1/5 — Pocket Whiteboard *2009-01-05, version 0* A piece of junk. To save "whiteboard" just press "home" and "sleep" buttons. I have no home and sleep buttons on my iPhone. Web site had no one to contact so cannot get answers. ### 1/5 — Whiteboard *2009-01-01, version 0* This app works exactly as described. Well worth a buck! ### 1/5 — Bad!!! *2008-12-31, version 0* Great! I am the first to review. It is a waste of a dollar. It does not work at all! Every once and awhile a mark would be made in the app--but it was impossible to write anything. ### 2/5 — Needs improvment *2009-02-23, version 0* App is just ok. It would be helpful is you could save multiple times and be able to save it as picture so it can be e-mailed. ### 2/5 — Not very useful *2009-01-14, version 0* This app functions well enough. But don't expect to draw or write with any accuracy or neatness. Drawing with your finger on this small screen Is like using a mop to draw on a regular whiteboard. The lines are neat and clean but you can't really see where your marker tip is because your fingertip is so relatively gigantic. I don't find this useful except for the crudest of sketches... You're better off with a cocktail napkin. ### 2/5 — Ok could be better *2009-01-11, version 0* I really would like to like this app. But for me to use it I need smaller pen sizes and maybe a larger area ie. zoom feature. Other than that it's fast and looks great. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it! *2014-04-05, version 3.2* I love this app so much! I take it with me everywhere I go. I love it because you can express yourself by drawing anything you want. I love this app! ### 5/5 — Cool but bad *2009-12-01, version 0* This app could be better but the screen is tiny!!!! But it is a great way to keep track of things!!!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2009-09-28, version 0* I don't understand you idiot people saying it's bad and all, it's just the nature of the iPhone to have a small screen. I kinda wish it could go to like claymation mode or something, then it would be the best app of all time. ### 5/5 — I like it *2009-09-26, version 0* I was skeptical to download this ap because of the negative feedback but I took a chance and I really like it. I can see where a stylus might be better for some. I coach volleyball and will be using for that and I love it so far. Much easier than carrying the marker and having a stained dry erase board. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2009-05-03, version 0* :D ### 5/5 — The PERFECT teaching tool! *2009-04-12, version 0* I'm a teacher & use whiteboards exclusively in my classroom. My son is 5, and I like to let him spell, draw, or do math on the whiteboard due to ease of writing & erasing. This app is ideal for teaching him these skills! R. Reynolds ### 5/5 — Like it!?! *2009-04-10, version 0* Like it ### 5/5 — Works Perfect !!!! *2009-03-10, version 0* I don't know what the 1st reviewer is having trouble with, but, this App works perfect on My Touch. It's fast,responsive and everythig works fine. Very nice App. !!!!! ### 5/5 — Nice app *2009-01-11, version 0* Wire EDM guy the home and sleep button are the top button and your circular button on the face of the iphone. This saves your drawing as a screenshot in your camera-photo application. Actually you can take a screenshot whererver you are this way. Ok with the others on this...not that amazing but may come in handy someday ### 5/5 — very smooth and precise lines *2009-01-02, version 0* The lines are very smooth and acurate on my touch 1G....not jagged as with other apps I've tried. I don't review often, but this app impressed me with it's quality. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
