Excellent customer support.

Excellent customer support.

Christian was responsive, asked thoughtful questions, and processed everything without any friction or pressure tactics.

As for the product itself, Drawboard PDF is genuinely easy to use with a clean, user-friendly interface for viewing, editing and annotating documents. Our decision to leave was about internal licensing consolidation, not about the software.

Highly recommend both the app and their support team.

Professional and efficient

I have been using the app for 4 years and I'm happy to see that they haven't blocked any of the original features behind higher and higher paywalls. Furthermore, their response to a request for assistance was immediate and helpful. I would highly recommend this app.

Great UI and customer service

The software interface is very well-designed for both iOS and web. Despite the fact that I ran into a bug with regard to Google Drive syncing, customer service was great and the issue was promptly resolved.

Ran into a software performance issue…

Ran into a software performance issue and reported to Drawboard, they replied the next day with a solution. The only problem with the solution is no able to easily find it. Overall, appreciate them jumping on providing solution and proper communication in a timely manner.

Great customer service

Great customer service very helpful, straight to the point, and always responding on time. Most of my issues were solved exactly as I wanted without any delay.
Only a few minor problems remained unresolved, but the issue was probably technical and outside of their control. Even then, they showed genuine willingness to solve the problem as quickly and effectively as possible.

I was blown away by their response

I was blown away by their response. A support representative named Vergil took the time to read my personal journey, showing incredible empathy and respect for my dedication to my family and my studies. They manually verified my account to grant me access to their highly affordable 3-year Student Discount tier.

Drawboard doesn't just build world-class software for professionals and students; they operate with genuine human empathy and corporate integrity.

They messed up their UX

They messed up their UX. Use to be easy to draw on PDFs. Now apparently they have removed the right menu and I just spent 10minutes trying to figure out their new UX. Still couldn't find out how to draw on the PDF.

It use to be good - used it for a couple years, but haven't in a few months. Will be uninstalling and using something else.

Thanks for your feedback. The right-side menu is still there. If you haven't used it in a couple of years and downloaded it again, then it would have defaulted to the top side toolbar. We do that for new downloads. The right side menu can still be accessed by hitting the menu icon in the bottom left.

To draw on the PDF, it's the most central location of the top menu, you can't miss it.

Impressed with capabilities and discount

This is the only software I've found that allows me to easily and extensively annotate PDFs. I like how many tools there are and their quality, and I especially like the student discount from $480 to $20 for 3 years on their highest tier plan. It sometimes crashes, but nothing is lost, even when it's a local document, and this could be due to something on my end also. I used to use OneNote for annotating textbooks, assignments, etc. I much prefer this.

Was paying $9.99 a month for pro plan

Was paying $9.99 a month for pro plan. To be frank they've always had the issue of not properly transferring subscription information every time they have some kind of model update, but I'm not a fan of the fact they would have just charged me and left me with the basic plan had I not noticed lol.

Historically terrible company, I care for no refund - 6 years of patronage and enduring your rough patches, just for this?

Hi Joey, we're happy to help with any particular if you write in. As for 'transferring information' for business model updates, can you elaborate? If anyone was on a subscription plan, and there's any new changes, it won't affect existing subscribers.

We would like to understand any 'rough patches' you refer to. We'd like to know if we can help.

Kind and quicky response to my inquiry

Kind and quick response to my inquiry. I was needing to follow-up regarding a confirmation email that did not seem to be working. The team responded to my inquiry within a few hours and the outcome was positive. Thank you!

Be careful

I have now had a refund and they have confirmed they have cancelled the subscription. I have increased the rating from 1 to 2 stars. My original post was: Be Careful. I didn't realise I had signed up for them to auto-renew every year without notice. Mid term in the first year I reached out to my designated contact and he ignored me. I haven't been able to use the software since. Look at the website and how difficult it is to cancel your subscription. They were very quick to reply to say they couldn't refund, (or indeed cancel the subscription). So quick nobody could type that fast, it must be a copy and paste reply so they must get it quite often. They are not so quick to reply when you have email proof that they are in the wrong. Use them at your peril.

Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, it's correct we have an auto-respond for support emails - we, like many support teams for a low cost app, can't respond to all emails by humans, although we usually do, within a few a days. So the auto-respond scans the your email and gives suggestions based on that.

It may look difficult to cancel, but that's because there could be many ways you have signed up - e.g. through us directly, or through one of the many app stores. Therefore, we give directions on each one.

As you have managed to get onto one of us and achieved what you wanted, we hope that you can change your review and rating.
