BaiBoard 3
BaiBoard 3 – I would like to introduce a new App for white boarding/note taking/ collaboration and more. I am amazed that an App with all the functionality such as this is free!
– import and annotate PDF’s, photos, text, web clippings and more.
– collaborate with others on the same document
– add in the ability to add voice capability to talk to others while collaborating via the app
– Use it to journal about a project, share group notes, discuss designs, etc.
