Cons

“The software still seems to be a bit glitchy in the way that it doesn’t allow me to see what others are typing while they are typing all of the time and sometimes it will not load.”
SM

Shannon M.

Student

“It's very hard and tedious to do manually and make work... And having a "template" doesn't work when the content does not paste in to match the formatting.”
RZ

Rachel Z.

Account Manager

“I accidentally created a whole board in the wrong size and now I don't have an easy way of making it to the standard zoom that is in there..”
KD

Karissa D.

Sales and Marketing coordinator

Cons

“Occasionally it also lags with larger boards, which can interrupt the flow of work.”

Jason Y.

Software Engineer

“The only con I have come across from time to time is that sometime hesitates when using it. If in the middle of a meeting, this can be discouraging.”
JL

Jill L.

HR Manager

“The selector tool is not intuitive and moving objects around is not as simple as it should be.”
