The Whiteboard App always adheres to the concept of "simplicity to the extreme" and "Nothing more Nothing less". Despite offering many small tools, its interface remains simple and user-friendly. This app is suitable for various scenarios, including teaching, creativity, meeting presentations, prototype design, and learning drafts, among others. It provides users with a variety of universally applicable paper formats, objects, and prototype designs to choose from. It also offers instant drawing of geometric shapes, making teaching, creativity, and on-site communication more convenient. Additionally, it can be used for students' homework drafts, doodling, note-taking, temporary notepads, word dictation, and math problems, among other purposes. Users highly praise its simple and easy-to-use button layout and tool exit mechanism. The app offers two forms of creating new files, allowing users to choose the one that suits them best: - The first form is a multi-page file (Pages), where each page serves as a canvas with size limitations, similar to a PDF file. This makes it easy to organize knowledge. - The second form is a free-form file (Free Form), where a file consists of one infinitely large canvas without boundaries. This allows for unlimited creativity. The app also supports direct import of PDF files, even large files with hundreds or thousands of pages, without crashing. It opens instantly.

Drawing On Map holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3.

Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Whiteboard's written reviews are positive against 67% of Drawing On Map's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
