Microsoft Whiteboard Customer Insights

1. Guess what? Some of the line objects in Android are not compatible with the Windows version.Bummer that on smaller screens the tool bar does not show up and takes 3 taps just to get to the color palette to show.

2. I am putting it on my phone so I can at least access my note pages on the go, kind of defeats the purpose of buying a surface.Read before using: Cross platform compatibility issues.

3. Otherwise the app works well enough but I need to be able to work in multiple colors on a 5.5" display (which doesn't seem *that* small tbh.

4. Then things get worse! I spent about an hour on the Android version, adding lines and dotted lines to something I was drawing up.

5. I use it for volunteer tutoring over zoom, where I write out math problems on my tablet and show the results with the Windows app, sharing my screen with the student.

6. The pen tracking is not flawless, with a bit of glitching and latency, but it's the best free solution I've found.The app is getting better, week over week and can now be used in a highly effective pen and paper kind of way with Samsung Galaxy Tab S7.

7. The issue with Samsung S-Pen creating lines you didn't draw with the highlighter is fixed.

8. I love being able to draw and look to see what my girlfriend is drawing real time.

9. It's a little bit glitchy sometimes on the app and is missing fill features and more color options (at least for android) but it's a whiteboard so that's understandable.

10. It changes a 2-inch line into an inch.The app on my surface is great.

11. Overall experience is a 5/5.I love being able to use this app between my phone and computer.
