An infinite whiteboard for teaching, tutoring and thinking on paper that never runs out. No account. No sign-up. No e-mail. Open the app and write. WORKS WITHOUT A NETWORK Your boards live on your device first. Draw on a train, in a basement classroom, on a plane — everything is saved as you go. Losing an hour of work to a dropped connection is not a risk you should have to take. EVERYTHING STAYS EDITABLE Anything you draw can be selected, moved, duplicated or deleted afterwards. Lasso a formula and drag it. Box-select a diagram and copy it. Undo a whole eraser sweep with a single tap. A whiteboard where ink freezes the moment it lands is a photograph, not a workspace. WRITING THAT FEELS LIKE WRITING • Eight instruments: pen, pencil, marker, brush, highlighter, calligraphy nib, chalk and airbrush — each with its own response to pressure and speed • Full stylus support: pressure, tilt, barrel button as eraser, inverted tip • Palm rejection that keeps working between letters, not just at first contact • Line widths from hairline to broad, remembered per instrument AN INFINITE CANVAS Zoom from 2% to 6400%. Pan forever. Fit the view to your content in one tap. Nine page backgrounds: blank, grid, lines, dots, graph paper, music staves, isometric, Cornell notes and a real blackboard. BUILT FOR A CLASSROOM • Seven roles, from guest to administrator • Students can never erase a classmate's work — only their own • Lock the board while you explain, unlock it for the exercise • Locking stops writing, never scrolling: a student can always follow along TAKE YOUR WORK WITH YOU Export any page as PNG, PDF or true vector SVG. Import photos. Share the exported file with anyone. SIX LANGUAGES English, French, Spanish, German, Italian and Arabic — fully translated, right-to-left included. HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT IS This version is a single-device whiteboard. Real-time collaboration between devices is built and tested, but the sync server is not live yet, so it is not part of this release. There are no video calls and no session recording either. If you need those today, another app will serve you better. ADS, AND WHERE THEY ARE NOT Ardoza is free and carries ads. They appear in two places: a banner under the board list and the dashboard, and a full-screen ad now and then after you close a board. There is never an ad on the board itself, so nothing covers or interferes with your drawing. Every feature is free — nothing is locked behind an ad or a payment. If you would rather not see them for a while, one optional video removes all ads for 24 hours. Questions? contact@dolimarketplace.com

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ardoza at none against Fun! Katakana's 1. Fun! Katakana's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
