I can still get around and it satisfies all my needs. Overall, I don’t think this is as bad as other people say ### 1/5 — THE APP ASKED ME TO DOWNLOAD ANOTHER APP! *2018-12-28, version 2.1.1* The title says it all. ### 1/5 — AWFUL AND ANNOYING😡 *2018-12-11, version 2.1.1* This app is rubbish! When you open it it says it will take you to another location and you can only press Ok! Then you get taken on to the home screen or you have to pay! 100% not recommended by me😡 ### 1/5 — RUBBISH *2018-11-20, version 2.1.1* I couldn’t even draw on it all it says was I will move you to a new application warning do not get it it’s rubbish ### 1/5 — What *2018-11-01* I would have enjoyed this if I could play it. Every time I try, it says,”Open to new application” and only give you an ok option. After clicking this it takes you out of the app. ### 1/5 — Wtf?? *2018-10-20, version 2.1.1* Okay, when I first got the app it said, ‘I will move to a new location’ the only option you’ve got is to press okay then it kicks you of the game. WTF?? ### 1/5 — Baddddd *2018-10-07, version 2.1.1* This game is rubbish. When you first open the app it says “I will move to a new location” and your only option is to press ok and then you have to pay. Is it just me or does anyone know what that means. (This app is definitely not recommended by me) 🤭🙄😾👎 ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE *2018-08-28* I hate everything about the ads and when I open it says open to new tab then kicks me out LIKE BOI -.- ### 1/5 — Horrible *2018-08-22* I can’t even open the app and when I do, it want me to download whiteboard notes!!! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2018-08-20, version 2.1.1* I can’t even play it it says u are to stupid to play :( ### 1/5 — Only 5 *2018-07-25, version 2.1.1* This app only has 5 colours it needs more then 5 ### 1/5 — Grr *2018-07-15, version 2.1.1* The app wouldn’t even open it said this app has moved to a new location what does that mean 🤬👿👺😾 I only gave it one star because the write a review thing forced me usually I give 5 star ⭐️ reviews but this was terrible ### 1/5 — New app? *2018-06-05, version 2.1.1* I think it doesn’t work anymore because I open the app to see a message notification saying “I will move to a new application”. Not sure. ### 1/5 — Take down the application *2018-05-22, version 2.1.1* If the only thing the app does is display “I am moving to a new application” then take it down, I can’t believe that Apple approved that app ### 1/5 — Hate it *2018-05-15* I hate this I just got it right now and I now hate it here’s why I click the app and I don’t even get to play it Because it says ( I will move to a different screen ) something like that so then when I say what’s in () it kicks me out hope it doesn’t happen again and doesn’t happen to you too Have a great day ! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Tricked. *2023-04-07* I didn’t want to buy a app which has no features and is not in English. How do I get a refund. ### 1/5 — DONT DOWNLOAD!!! *2022-11-26* So, I thought this was whiteboard fox, BUT NO. THEY LITERALLY JUST TRICKED ME. I WANTED TO DO A WHITEBOARD WITH MY FRIENDS, and guess what? You can’t do a color palette. There’s only a few colors available, and it needs more improvement, this is disappointing. And, I couldn’t even read Japanese and my settings was at English. PLEASE MAKE MORE IMPROVEMENTS. THIS IS REALLY ANNOYING. And also, these updates are just bug fixes :l nothing new. So that is why you should not buy this crazy ridiculous time wasting app. Good bye, peace. ### 1/5 — So bad *2022-11-12, version 2.2.9* When I try to upload a photo on the screen it just says something in Japanese and an ad pops up randomly so bad ### 1/5 — THIS GAME IS HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!! *2021-04-22, version 2.2.4* The ads the more ads ads ads ads ugh so many ads and it only lets me use half a screen it’s horrible ### 1/5 — Too many adds & cant save photos *2019-10-26, version 2.1.2* There are too many adds. When you click the camera button it doesn’t work either ### 1/5 — Is 0 stars an option? *2019-10-18* After any action, you must watch or dismiss an ad. When not saving, you also have passive ads. Had to delete after using for about 4 minutes. ### 1/5 — SO MANY ADS *2019-07-29, version 2.1.2* Do not use! ### 1/5 — Please make better whiteboard *2019-05-28, version 2.1.2* Make better APP ### 1/5 — Freaking ads *2019-04-06* First off this edu coach ad keeps popping up when I press anything ### 1/5 — Hate it😡😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 *2019-01-23* “I will move to a another application” It says Don’t download this!!!!!!!!!
