Boogie Board Sync for Android
If the app would allow the strokes to change color like the computer version, then the app would be great. The app currently has a pen and highlighter, both of which could easily have a variety of colors added. This would make the app more visually appealing and more fun to use.
I couldn't get my Boogie Board Sync to connect at all. Someone tell me how to fix that issue and I might have a better review.
This app is severally disappointing. I have a boogie board that told me to use this or the app it's supposed to be but it's not there or this doesn't link up. Please fix
This app doesnt work with boogie black board.
So easy to use and quite handy as an artist and a student.
Good app, slow but responsive developers.
I loved it thankyou sooooooo much for macking it
Nice
This program seems to be for 9.5, not for 8.5. With the information and instructions it gives, it says to Bluetooth it but you are unable to do that with 8.5. I like the board but have to use an app that is not made by Boogie Board to save my information off of the board. At least it saves the information much better then the boogie board jot made to do it.
Another update: I got it working again! I had to un-install the app, reinstall and reconnect the device (over bluetooth). They would not pair regularly in Android and there was no way to remove it and add it back in the app that I could see. That allowed pages to show up on the phone, but Dropbox integration was still broken. I had to disconnect from Dropbox and reconnect and it is working again from end-to-end. I think some error messages to the user would be helpful if communication fails or cloud services reject the connection. I'm only back up to three stars for now. I want to see if it works reliably or not. I use this for business meetings and training courses. I can't take notes for an hour only to find they are not accessible! Update: Not the Bluetooth won't connect toy phone. I'm going to uninstall and reinstall the software, but I doubt that will work. Device doesn't show in list of devices around me.
Worst product Have erasing issues, when I raised a complaint they did not provide replacement even after months and my product is under warranty. Support executive says there is shortage of supply Suggest not to buy this as after sale support is very very poor
What does this app have to do with the actual thing?!
Works well. I had issues getting the app to recognize my boogie board until I went into my phone's Bluetooth setting and told my phone to sync with the board in the settings. When I did it that way it connected and grabbed all the pages off. 4 stars because it takes a while to load a PDF page fully and bluetooth transfer is slow even with tiny files. Still, now that I can read my notes on the phone once I transfer it, that keeps me happy. Reading on a phone screen works fine for this especially if you write large.
Works great and makes things easier, wish the sync was quicker but what can you do! Only 3 stars for a few reasons, the GUI could definitely use some improvement but that's minor I REALLY wish they would enable multiple sync options so I can use OneNote and Evernote while that's probably a rare need my major complaint is the lack of OneNote business support, I have office 365 business and not being able to sync with that is a MAJOR drawback. Should be easy as just has to do w/ what sync URL is used.
Not able to connect with my new phone. Google Pixel XL. Somebody know something ???
Needs to print or at least open the file with your pdf viewer. Also needs to combine pdfs so you don't have to waste your time opening them all separately. This might not be such a problem if I could preview them. Do I really need to email it if I want to print it? Can't I save locally?
I love it it was so fun when my boogie board just spoiled then I had to buy a new one when it was online sync helped me draw while the mail was coming thank you sync we had the best time together thanks☺????
I can't really say a whole lot about this app. It wouldn't even work. It wouldn't connect for me to do live drawing on my board. Not for me I guess.
I love the boogie board as a scratchpad or a brain dump diary. However, the syncing is not so straight forward. At first it was great, but as I used it there are features on it that are sorely lacking. I accidently write on the boogie boards reversed. Sync will not allow for it the pages to rotate. Sometimes the pages go out of order and I am not allow to reorder the pages. When viewing the thumbnails , there should be some kind of Headings by month and date. By having dates in the thumbnail view atleast I will be able to group the PDF's more easily. The pages are mostly my handwritten text and viewing the thumbnails don't give me enough info on what is inside the notes. It is just a grid of tiny blurry writing. When syncing to Evernote the dates of the PDF notes are not kept. It will just show the last synced date on each note. Not the day the PDF was created. Sometimes my notes are resynced over and over again, making it very confusing to see where my latest notes are. Rotation and pagination are must features to have. Overall the Boogie Board is a great device, but the app needs more functionality.
Crashes whenever I try to delete files. Fix that problem and I'll give it more than one star
[Original review]It seems people with technical issues always rank low instead of asking someone for help on how to use software or hardware. The app works fine but I cant give it a high rating unless the devs fix the awful export options that basically force you to use evernote[END] ∆they fixed that so I revised my rating
I just unpacked my new boogie board. Following instructions of this app I started bluetooth on the tablet and tried to pair with the phone. The app crashes at this point at every attempt. Restarted and made the phone visible in Bluetooth setup. Now it works. The app should no crash. It should produce an error message when it fails to connect. Update 20160706: not connecting to boogie board. Update 201608323: Not connecting with new phone (Samsung G. note 4/android 6) and tablet (S G. tab4 10.1")
Nice app, does most of what it says very well. I did have some problems saving certain spots on my board (typically, the corners) but I'm able to fix that using the Live feature. What I'd like to see added in the future is an option to order pages, which would make exporting multiple files to pdf more organized considering pages aren't always in the correct order as they are saved (both using tje board and after making edits in app). That would make this app 5 stars for me.
I like the fact that Bluetooth Sync is always quick and easy. I can transfer literally thousands of saved pages in seconds. So much lighter than lugging around several note pads, Comp Books, etc. Being able to differentiate where notes are sorted just by drawing a line across, down, top, right or left side, etc. Is super quick and easy to remember. My Boogie Board Sync continues to exceed my expectations. This App. does as well.
The app no longer consistently connects to Evernote. It does it sporadically and of course there is no button in the app to force it manually. Please fix this and I will update my rating. Btw, the app keeps crashing lately.
I was going to take a look at the manual via the setting s icon but... Nevermind that page does not exist. Sigh. Oh and I can't get this app to sync with Evernote. I see my note in the app but not Evernote.
Sounds great on paper (pun intended), but fails to deliver: on my Nexus 6p with android 7, Dropbox integration doesn't work, neither sharing as image or pdf (the image exported is completely black). It still deserves 2 stars because the basic functions (bluetooth connection, organizing notes) work well, but at the very least exporting as an image should work on all devices. Last update was a year ago...
I have Samsung note 4 . Every time I want to connect to paired device it needs to unpaired and then pair again. I doesn't get directly detected/ paired.
When I save something it seems to take its sweet time to show up in the app. Sometimes I need to access it right away. There isn't even an option to sync the sync. Odd.
The new update (?) is very stable and does its job well. I would love it if when syncing to Dropbox, the notebook structure on the phone/mobile device was reproduced in Dropbox. I've got 4 different "quick add" notebooks and it becomes hard to share with other people if I have to manually go through and identify which ones are with which notebook.
Needs to print or at least open the file with your pdf viewer. Also needs to combine pdfs so you don't have to waste your time opening them all separately. This might not be such a problem if I could preview them. Do I really need to email it if I want to print it? Can't I save locally?
Had used this app on my Oneplus One, but on Oneplus 3 it will not sync my notes. It is very slow and buggy with connected to the board and it will not transfer notes over.
Syncing and editing are a breeze. Only things I would add: battery level, page merging, page rotation.
Please allow saving as image with WHITE background so I can send drawing to colleague via messenger. Need this feature asap thanks!
Can't see live mode results. Can't find saved files. Using sync with Nexus 7 via Bluetooth
Crashes whenever I try to delete files. Fix that problem and I'll give it more than one star
Good, but it needs these features badly: Syncing to One Note: - Only syncs new pages - does not sync notebooks, only syncs exact images on a page with the title BB_00XXX Editing Options: - does not allow you to rotate pages
Cannot get Bluetooth pairing to work
As a serious supporter of boogie board sync, I think the app is equally well made and designed
by D####:
The app is very unintuitive. Simple things like changing names of notebooks is not available. If you are taking notes in class then there is no mechanism to tag them together. The quick add feature has not been explained properly and its functionality is not available in their FAQ section or any You tube Video. Why cant the app be made better ?
