Read full description

Clear Touch Collage™ is a powerful, yet easy-to-use, application that lets you share up to four devices directly to your Clear Touch™ panel. It enables you to encourage interaction and involvement, even in a classroom setting where each student has his or her own device. Helpful permission controls give you the ability to manage who is able to connect, ensuring you have the necessary control for keeping everything organized and running smoothly. Collage is especially useful for show-and-tell and student presentations, but it is equally useful in enabling teachers to teach cooperatively. For example, in a lab setting one teacher could moderate the presentation from his or her laptop, while another teacher or teacher’s assistant could demonstrate an experiment on a camera-enabled device. A teacher could even connect multiple devices in the classroom and then move easily from device to device without having to constantly disconnect and reconnect. The true genius of Collage is that it is a highly compatible solution that works seamlessly with nearly all of today’s most popular devices, including iPhones and iPads. On top of that, connecting to Collage is remarkably easy to do. Simply enable Collage on your Clear Touch™ panel, enter the displayed access code, and you’re ready to go! Clear Touch Collage™ Offers: * Wide-ranging Compatibility. - A truly open architecture supports all types of devices, including iPhones and iPads. * Multiple Device Sharing. - Collage currently enables up to 32 devices to connect and up to 4 to share simultaneously. *Permissions Mode. - Permission controls give the teacher the ability to allow or restrict devices from connecting and sharing content. * Easy Connectivity. - Clear Touch Collage provides a remarkably uncomplicated way to connect and share content.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Planbook Mobile at 4.8 against Clear Touch Collage's 4.3. Planbook Mobile also leads on ratings volume (7.2K vs 14) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). Clear Touch Collage's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (60% vs 51%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Planbook Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Planbook Mobile has 7.2K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Clear Touch Collage's written reviews are positive against 51% of Planbook Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Clear Touch Collage ships an update every 4 months, Planbook Mobile every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
