New Plans, Better Fit
Explain Everything has a new subscription plan: Solo Teacher. It is a dedicated, more affordable offer for teachers and educators. It lets them use Explain Everything on their own with no limits. So if you’d like to create videos and have your personal media-powered whiteboard, this one's for you.
The Solo Teacher plan features unlimited projects with unlimited slides, no restriction to video recording length, and 5 GB of Explain Drive cloud storage. The new plan is a yearly subscription and it comes with a 7-day free trial (if you haven’t used it already).
Alongside the new plan, we’ve also renamed the Individual plan to Pro. This is to better reflect the difference between the two plans. If you’re already on a paid plan, don’t worry—it will all function as it used to.
Last but not least, the recording length limit for the Free plan is now 3 minutes. We felt that the previous 1 minute limit was too short to explore the recording possibilities.
More exciting updates are coming soon! Stay tuned!

Absolutely Awesome!
I’ve used Explain Everything for almost 5 years without any of the technical difficulties mentioned by other reviewers; not a single glitch, freeze, or lost project. As far as performance & features, I can’t complain; I teach high school advanced math, and I’ve constantly supplemented my teaching with lecture notes captured on my iPad along with what I call “pencasts” (think Kahn Academy videos). The interface operates flawlessly; I usually import images and screencasts from other math apps with no problem whatsoever. Now, in the world of full distance learning, EE has become even MORE valuable; the subscription version allows a simultaneous web board and the app shares easily with Google Meets and Zoom. No matter how your students need to see your screen (if you’re using EE as a live whiteboard), this app’s got you covered! As far as cost, I’m a firm believer that you get what you pay for, and EE delivers more than I imagined. One of the most precious features is its direct upload to Google Drive, DropBox, and others (I use GD & DB only). So thank you, and here’s looking to at least another 5 years!
B A R T H O L O M E W,
I love this app!
It’s fun and easy to use. The color selection is great but limited, keeping things satisfyingly simple. I wouldn’t mind more colors though. I love how it allows me to work off my original writings by being an infinite black board of space. I’m looking forward to trying the screen grab and voice recording feature. It’s a great way to get all my thoughts out on a single page. File storage and organization is great too. It includes other basic tools like an eraser, you can drag and drop the things you draw, and probably some other stuff I haven’t tried yet. It’s important to mention that I use this with the Apple Pencil. The response works beautifully. I think that’s all for now. I would recommend this for teachers, creatives, business owners, and anyone who needs some place to keep all their thoughts and ideas in one place.
HunnerC6,
Great idea... not a good app.
I was tasked with using this app for a class project where I would make a video of me explaining tips of another app. I whipped out Explain everything and I realized right away this would be a difficult project. Not because of the task given to me, but because of the app I had to use. While it’s a great idea, Explain Everything is not what I was hoping for. It was slow, and it had very basic features. I had to record audio for the slides and it was almost guaranteed that it would cut off either the beginning of what I was saying or the end. Sometimes both. It also doesn’t seem to allow you to move audio around if I wanted to add something, or to try to fix what it had cut off. I am also disappointed that there is no way for me to watch the whole project at once instead of clicking on each individual clip and clicking play. This app did not live up to my expectations and I was really hoping to add this app to my list of daily project creation apps. As of today, though, it will not be used further. I am open to retry it in the future. As I said, it’s a great idea. The app just isn’t ready yet.

Learning Curve
There is a bit of a learning curve but when you get there you find a very flexible app. They continue to develop it which is great.
All in all, I’m on board.
**But one major annoyance is that it will randomly select the Eraser even though I never selected it. Yes, this happens purely with the Apple Pencil and no part of my hand, or anything else touching my iPad Pro screen. It interrupts the workflow, especially if you’re recording a video lesson.
Yes, the export to video takes too much time, hoping that improves.
**As the developer pointed out, it is the double tap feature, thank you.
Other thoughts:
Picking a pencil color doesn’t change the color options for other tools.
Being able to select a view that shows hidden objects without the need of the inspector tool which would be incredibly useful while recording. I’ve had to pause and figure out where I hid objects to be revealed during recording.
If using a microphone, automatically have it record in stereo. I’ve had to import the video to GarageBand and convert the mono to stereo.
Holding down an object doesn’t change it to Inspector view. Trying to move things around this happens and you have to go back to the selection tool.
Overall, a wonderful app!
All in all, I’m on board.

Yes, the export to video takes too much time, hoping that improves.
**As the developer pointed out, it is the double tap feature, thank you.
Other thoughts:
Picking a pencil color doesn’t change the color options for other tools.
Being able to select a view that shows hidden objects without the need of the inspector tool which would be incredibly useful while recording. I’ve had to pause and figure out where I hid objects to be revealed during recording.
If using a microphone, automatically have it record in stereo. I’ve had to import the video to GarageBand and convert the mono to stereo.
Holding down an object doesn’t change it to Inspector view. Trying to move things around this happens and you have to go back to the selection tool.
Overall, a wonderful app!

Deletes your work if you close the cover of your iPad
It happened twice.
I’m trying out a lot of online whiteboards for mathematics research, collaboration, and teaching. Explain Everything has some nice features (like an infinite workspace), but also a lot of problems. The biggest problem in the interface is that you can’t easily select things and move/delete them. Instead, things are unaccountably “grouped” together with random other things (yes, even with the “auto-group” setting turned off).
But the kicker was losing hours of work. The first time it happened, I didn’t lose much, and I thought I had done something wrong. The second time, I had worked for a long time on a calculation, and then closed the folio cover and moved to a different desk. When I opened it again, I was asked if I want to upgrade (still trying it out), and when I said “no”, I progressed to a screen where I could choose which project I wanted to open. But my project was blank. Apparently, I was supposed to have pressed a “save” button.
For you younger kids: Back in the 80’s and 90’s, you used to have to ask your computer to save your work, because otherwise you would lose it the next time the computer or the program crashed, which was usually very soon. Those of us who lived through that don’t want to go back, and I’m very disappointed the Explain Everything is still living in those days.
I’ve learned what I need to know from my free trial.

SChoudhary,
Good but missing important features
I would rate this 3.5-4⭐️s.
➡️TL;DR: its a really good app with really decent functionality however as it is it really isn’t/can’t be the only app I use for my note/screen casting needs.
(Sorry for a billion emojis- added for readability)
As a student and tutor I use these for review and teaching. It’s been great for mind mapping and breaking down complex concepts as I move to grad level concepts. Despite the learning curve it’s been very functional for me but it is missing some features I’d love to see.
✅Pros:
- customization - colors/papers/background
- endless paper
- good apple pencil functionality
- great sharing/recording abilities
- personal templates
- good features for math adaptability
- shape tool
❎Cons/Missing items (❗️To indicate importance):
❗️❗️❗️❗️- a way that zoom doesn’t change pen size. I just want to side scroll w/o effectively changing pen size, etc maybe add more pen sizes or custom sizes that don’t change despite zoom level. At this point I have to use stealth so I can note zoom % and maintain it after I scroll
❗️❗️❗️- better pen style selection tool for easier movement and grouping
❗️❗️❗️- hand gesture for easier undo (preferably double tapping)
❗️❗️ - auto straighten for lines (maybe after holding for a sec?) ruler is too time consumptive
❗️- recoloring drawn elements

Perfect for the traveling teacher
I am a wrestling coach and also a chemistry teacher. This time of the year is extremely busy for the wrestling team which means tons of traveling. This app not only allows me to provide lectures on the go but also assist with my students if they have problems. I love that I can also record lectures for absent students. I have tried boring PowerPoint presentation and even relied on the old school white board. This is the best of both worlds. My only complaint is that I wish I could use the app without the tools showing via chrome cast. Right now this feature is only available if I use the Apple TV. Other than that it is perfect!
Sufficingpit,
Don’t like plans
I been using this app for years mostly for school, though have made things for myself outside of school due to powerful software like this usually being pretty expensive while this is relatively cheap. I recently had gotten my iPad broken so upon getting a new iPad and redownloading this, I noticed you have to subscribe to a thing JUST TO HAVE MORE THEN ONE SLIDE. I don’t know how long it has been like that since I don’t frequently check updates... but to be honest I am very disappointed... I may still use this from time to time but having a single slide while that plus button taunts me is really an off putting... Aswell as having a limited number of projects you can have. I say thanks to the people who developed this as it has done a lot of cool things for me and I am sad to see features are now locked due to needing a better “plan” while before having unlimited ability to do anything...
TheNessMan,
Basic features locked behind paywall
This app used to be a 5 star in my book. But recently, they’ve been constantly making you pay for features that were already free previously. Such as being able to make more than 3 whiteboards. Which I wasn’t too mad about, since I had infinite space in a singular whiteboard. But then they took THAT feature away and made you pay like 10 dollars a month. That’s ridiculous. I used this app for so many projects and presentations and it was a fantastic tool. Now I can’t even capture everything I need because of how small the whiteboards are now. I was such a huge follower of Explain Everything, getting all my friends to use it because of how much it was better, easily accessible, and most importantly, free. But now that I’m back again to work on an important project, I realize I can’t move around in the whiteboard. Which is exactly what sold me on this app. Unbelievable.
Math-wizard,
Great potential but slow learning curve
I’ve been a licensed user for 2 years, and the “go to” app user on my campus. Love being able to create videos for my students to move self-paced through lessons, but the tools are not intuitive and difficult to master. Time is a valuable commodity for teachers. Learning curve for instructional tools needs to be fast. Attempting to create more professional presentations by combining slides, documents, blank templates, and teacher clips (live view for demos) in the same video is a technology challenge, yet to be achieved. File naming and editing recordings is tricky, as I’ve lost much work due to auto-naming and tool issues. Importing multi-page files in a desired layout escapes me.
If there is an online training, I’d love to take advantage before the new school year begins on Aug 5.
