### 5/5 — Absolute joy to use because of its simplicity and instant effects!

*2026-03-31, version 1.2.2*

I am a visually impaired person with artistic ability who needs strong contrast and this is the best and simplest drawing app I have ever found I wouldn’t do without it now it is beautiful love it love it love it!

### 4/5 — Nice app, works very well

*2024-06-21, version 1.2.1*

This blackboard app is nice and quick to use, with good features. (Better than a different app I was using which was much too slow.)

Only thing I would suggest is to allow rotation of the iPad, rather than have it fixed right-way-up, hence only 4 stars.

### 3/5 — Blackboard simple

*2024-04-21*

Open photo to the board

### 5/5 — Fun

*2024-02-05, version 1.2.1*

Simple blackboard is good for loose drawing ideas and a quick doodle. Thank you for it.

### 4/5 — Eraser like brush

*2024-01-09*

Erasing the letters one by one takes time . If a brush is added to erase  some  portion it will be appreciable . Otherwise good

### 1/5 — Good

*2024-01-06*

I love this app and this is nice. Although, there are some problems. I need this app to flip horizontally. I don’t have enough room to write equations, and I keep making smudges on my problems because there is no only pencil mode. Plus, I would like some zooming in because when I draw, I can’t zoom in and it bothers me a lot.

### 3/5 — Good

*2024-01-03*

I love this app and this is nice. Although, there are some problems. I need this app to flip horizontally. I don’t have enough room to write equations, and I keep making smudges on my problems because there is no only pencil mode.

### 1/5 — not as good as Zooba at all

*2023-12-20*

The gun game is zooba and basically there's only like I just don't know what to say  but it only helps me with my homework so like this is really bad this is a really bad app not as good too bad app

### 2/5 — Bad palm rejection. No pencil only mode.

*2023-12-13*

Nice and simple.

### 5/5 — It’s really good I like it

*2022-12-21, version 1.2*

I like it it has a blackboard and a white board you can do whatever pictures you want and there’s a lot of colours
