Easy to draw and share platform **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Shiva G. | Information Security Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 24, 2022 **What do you like best about Limnu?** The ability to share art is the best feature for me.

Simply the best for math! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ivo D. | lecturer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 04, 2021 **What do you like best about Limnu?** The total ease of use of Limnu is amazing: no manual, no help, no installation for it is a web application. Since I embraced Limnu as my remote whiteboard for massive teaching in this pandemic era, I enjoy grabbing its markers using the most basic writing pad there is (One by Wacom). Compared to the physical whiteboard I can more speedily build up lessons by picking its shapes (Circles, Lines, Arrows, Boxes, ...) to spawn mathematical objects in a wink of an eye. The colour palette is wonderful. Etc. **What do you dislike about Limnu?** Sorry I cannot think of any disadvantage. Honestly I am but a user getting no shares nor benefits by this statement. **What problems is Limnu solving and how is that benefiting you?** Weekly offering remote maths colleges to over 150 English speaking plus 150 Dutch speaking students. I use Limnu in its broadcast mode, where I am the only user at 'my' whiteboard and the audience sees me live in the video room whilst building up the lesson. It is researched that this offers didactical and motivational benefits. Upon such a 90min live session, I share the free golimnu-link with the students via our university e-platform for their convenience in case they like re-reading the lesson notes, print them, double-checking lesson details, etc. ### 6. Limnu useful for intuitive collaborative drawing/painting with a primary palette **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Cheryl S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 20, 2020 **What do you like best about Limnu?** The most unique tool is the Fatty Tip Marker! You are able to get a translucent painterly texture when swiping to the right or slight angle. The marker is opaque with texture in other directions. You can get unique layering effects with this and every brush stroke is moveable and scalable. Variable opacity would be a plus. A rotate option is not available. The text label font option is too small but we’re using this as a paint tool. Overall we’re happy with the fast collaborative results. **What do you dislike about Limnu?** Font/Label size very limited. More brush styles are not available. Limited palette. No export to high resolution files. No rotate tool. **What problems is Limnu solving and how is that benefiting you?** Real-time painting sessions with participants for empowering and therapeutic benefit. ### 7. Digital canvas for creativity **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Suhabi N. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 15, 2020 **What do you like best about Limnu?** It is best to using Limnu to cross collaborating on our project and using the canvas or digital whiteboard to shares ideas and brainstorming input visually for the project. **What do you dislike about Limnu?** Everything works smoothly and i have no problem using this software. **Recommendations to others considering Limnu:** Great software where you can collaborate in sharing ideas and collaborating project. I recommend this! **What problems is Limnu solving and how is that benefiting you?** We using the whiteboard to help us shares the idea visually with other team members especially in this Covid-19 lockdown. We have to works form home and need to have meeting and the whiteboard has help us make the brainstorm session easy. ### 8. Best tool I've found for the transition to on-line learning **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Renaud S. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 25, 2020 **What do you like best about Limnu?** The whiteboard is "best in class." I love the color and marker choices and the drawing tool palette. I can quickly draw cartoons and diagrams for my physics class, pull in pictures or pdf documents, add sticky notes, etc. It's the perfect "tool to prepare on-line lectures. And there are no edges! So there is no need to erase anything. For long lectures, the pin feature is a convenient way to zap back to a previous topic that may be in a remote corner of the whiteboard. **What do you dislike about Limnu?** Minor (?) technical issue with the video conference feature. If no camera is found, you can't join with only with a microphone. Also there is a limit of 10 students on the conference. But to be honest there are other tools that do video conferencing better, so it's easy enough to share you screen from that app and just go to Limnu from there. **Recommendations to others considering Limnu:** Just try the white board for a few minutes and you will be hooked. **What problems is Limnu solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our school building is closed for COVID-19 and Limnu allows me to deliver similar content on-line by using a video screen capture program in conjunction with the whiteboard. It also facilitates tutoring; you can give students permission to write on the board and move the field of view around ("leading"). ### 9. Exactly what I was looking for! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Shai M. | math teacher, Primary/Secondary Education, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 29, 2019 **What do you like best about Limnu?** I love that I can create a whiteboard, send the link via email, and then be able to collaborate with as many people as I want. There have been times when I had more than 60 students on a board with me and have no issues. Being able to place a pin helps me manage the board. I love the chat option so that my students can also ask questions instead of having to write the question out on the board. When a student needs a specific question, it is easy for them to drag and drop a picture to help the class see what the question is. I love that the students can always go back and look at questions asked, prior to taking an assessment. **What do you dislike about Limnu?** I really haven't found anything I dislike about Limnu. **Recommendations to others considering Limnu:** If you are looking for ways to digitally connect and collaborate with peers, students, and/or colleagues, this is the whiteboard you want to use. I haven't found one easier to use. **What problems is Limnu solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am a high school math teacher and I use it weekly in the evenings to do virtual study sessions with my students. I answer any questions they have about the topic, and they help each other with problems. In my end of the year surveys, my students unanimously vote that I must continue offering study sessions via Limnu. The students comment that it helps them know what they don't know when we are studying together. On snow days, my students will jump on a board and just do problems with me. ### 10. Intuitive visual collaboration tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jack L. | Production Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 09, 2019 **What do you like best about Limnu?** I really like the scalable open canvas where space is not a constraint for rapidly evolving conversations. The combination of pasting images, drawing and text make communicating ideas in our design team feel natural and seamless. By far my favorite feature is Lead mode, where everyone's screen follows one user as presenter – keeps everyone focused. **What do you dislike about Limnu?** I wish the video chat pictures were larger, and I'd love to see an option for desktop screen sharing in an upcoming version. **Recommendations to others considering Limnu:** Give it a try – it's fun to use! **What problems is Limnu solving and how is that benefiting you?** My design team is no longer stuck living in Google Slides, we found a new sense of freedom in organically sketching together. ### 11. Limnu was very useful **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 07, 2020 **What do you like best about Limnu?** Limnu allow us to work and think together even though we were far away **What do you dislike about Limnu?** You can't erase the board if you're not an administrator **What problems is Limnu solving and how is that benefiting you?** The fact of not being able to meet in person ### 12. Nothing short of spectacular **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rommel M. | Artificial Intelligence Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 29, 2019 **What do you like best about Limnu?** Limnu just works. On top of that, however, is the aesthetics. I’ve done my research—I extensively at least a dozen collaborative online whiteboard providers—however, Limnu came consistently on top of the things that I need. The pen is very responsive, with the added bonus that it feels like a real whiteboard marker. Collaboration is as easy as typing email address of the collaborators. Managing the boards is also a breeze. Choosing between the tools and its options is easy with the highly accessible panel, and the lightning-fast keyboard shortcuts. When sketching out ideas, I even prefer Limnu over desktop applications. I must not forget customer support—they respond in a very timely manner, while being pleasant and very cooperative. All it takes is that you send an email to them, wait for a while, then you’ll be answered in the most satisfying way possible. After seeing the boost in my productivity due to Limnu, I never looked back. **What do you dislike about Limnu?** I really like to say something I don’t like with Limnu, however, I can’t find any, objectively. **Recommendations to others considering Limnu:** If you want an easy-to-use, powerful, customizable, online collaborative whiteboard, look no further—use Limnu! **What problems is Limnu solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am an artificial intelligence researcher. Alone, it helps me sketch and draw out ideas that are difficult to do with the conventional pen-and-paper approach. It helps me prototype ideas before I convert them to code. Collaboratively, it enables me to share and discuss ideas with colleagues and clients. It makes it easy discuss important concepts clearly and powerfully. ### 13. A central part of my workflow **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Peter S. | Distinguished Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2019 **What do you like best about Limnu?** The smoothness of the experience my favorite thing. It deviates from the natural whiteboard experience in only a few ways, and those ways are good (edit-ability, optional shapes like circles, optional keyboard entry) **What do you dislike about Limnu?** The only thing I dislike is true of all whiteboard programs I am aware of: it’s more awkward without a touchscreen or stylus. **Recommendations to others considering Limnu:** The ipad with stylus or a PC with touch screen are terrific for it **What problems is Limnu solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use it for collaborating with group members online. However I may use it more often as a pad of paper replacement. ### 14. Limnu is an amazing way to express your message- whatever it may be. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 04, 2019 **What do you like best about Limnu?** There are so many features that I like, but my favorite is the ability to upload pictures and then draw on them. **What do you dislike about Limnu?** It would be nice to be able to change the colors of images that have already been drawn **What problems is Limnu solving and how is that benefiting you?** I can explain difficult concepts to my viewers while at the same time allow everyone to engage and contribute to the conversation. ### 15. Highly efficient and simple tool for classroom whiteboard collaboration **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andreas S. | Professor, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 06, 2019 **What do you like best about Limnu?** - very easy sharing of and collaboration on whiteboards - fast and reliable - infinite whiteboard - cross-platform **What do you dislike about Limnu?** Actually nothing significant, but as a wish it would be nice to have a library of symbols/forms to quickly add to the whiteboard. **What problems is Limnu solving and how is that benefiting you?** Limnu ist used as a collaborative whiteboard in classroom (on a Cintiq touch screen, and student's notebooks) and sharing of results in a virtual learning environment. It is used as part of modelling IT systems class in a computer science bachelor programme. Students can easily share their own solutions to be discussed with the whole group, and afterwards they have a documentation of the discussion. ### 16. Limnu: a valuable collaborator in e-distance lessons **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in E-Learning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 19, 2019 **What do you like best about Limnu?** Limnu offers a lot of services in my work. I can share the boards with my students, upload texts or images and communicate with them in real time. Its technical support is excellent -I have to admit that- everytime I needed it they responded quickly and efficiently. Also, its price is reasonable - we can afford it! **What do you dislike about Limnu?** As disadvantage for me is that I can't export the whole board, so as to to send it as an image, and also that sometimes the board is heavy. **What problems is Limnu solving and how is that benefiting you?** Without Limnu I couldn't have e distance lessons... It's a really precious tool for me and my students! ### 17. Realistic whiteboard experience **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** William P.
