One of the strengths of the application is the ability to review content, images, documents or web-based PDF files, there is still room for improvement and I like the team to constantly work on new functions and be very supportive when we want to add a function or change something. **What do you dislike about zipBoard?** The software sometimes has errors and freezes but has an interface concept that is simple and easy to use, although it still has some sections where it could be better. There are large buttons so you can click on tasks, upload files, add collaborators and share my projects, I feel that if there are shortcuts that allow the user to change the status of an open item directly from the tasks, it would be easier for reviewers. **Recommendations to others considering zipBoard:** I highly recommend it because zipBoard allows us to see all our work in one place and organize them easily by priority, apart from having a workflow it is very easy to implement, from the creation of the project to the client's signature, those who want to start Your career as a freelance or web agency, I recommend zipBoard. **What problems is zipBoard solving and how is that benefiting you?** The ease of use is also very impressive, the reviewer selects the link and immediately goes to the presentation that allows the task list to remember its sort order the last time instead of the default publication date, for example: no I have to select sort by screen every time I reload the page, it is also an excellent tool to have for any organization that works with images and videos, it also helps us with audits of websites for potential clients to show the proposed changes in design. ### 4. Very effective and easy to handle, a very simple adaptation. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Emma J. | Organization Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 03, 2019 **What do you like best about zipBoard?** It is a great idea that many people do not even realize what they need in their lives, it makes working with clients much easier since it has an extremely intuitive dashboard and is very easy to configure. Managing users and projects is perhaps simpler than any other product that has been used for web and application testing, it also allows customers to tell me what modifications they would like to see with comments and tags. I like that it is also lightweight and I don't have to create additional storage on my part.... **What do you dislike about zipBoard?** It bothers me that at some point I need a browser extension to capture images of the course, but I understand why it does. However, that can cause some critics to stumble apart from the actual execution of a project is a bit flawed. Our users tend to record repeated errors and do not have good visibility of what others reported and we had many duplicate problems or screenshots. **Recommendations to others considering zipBoard:** It has provided an easy-to-use interface to work with the website notes, I love the idea of zipBoard adding notes to a website is something that I have needed in my life for a long time. The ability to comment directly on the websites we are building or where a customer needs information is very good. We also observe that your comments live exactly where the problem is so you are not wasting time describing where the problem is. **What problems is zipBoard solving and how is that benefiting you?** With many of my clients they send screenshots of the page, with notes in an email it makes it easier for the client to show me exactly what they mean, it makes our lives much easier and we can easily comment and describe the changes right where the We need instead to go in circles by email. It also helps us with audits of websites for potential clients to show the proposed changes in the design, we can easily make relevant notes that are not only useful for us but are even easy for our clients to understand. ### 5.

Excellent tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 09, 2018 **What do you like best about zipBoard?** I particularly like the ability to view websites in a range of screen sizes. And unlike other tools I've used, zipBoard takes a screenshot in that view so it's clear what annotations refer to. **What do you dislike about zipBoard?** There's nothing that I really dislike. If I was to be really critical think that the UI can improve, but I can see that it's evolving. **What problems is zipBoard solving and how is that benefiting you?** I've been using zipBoard for two main purposes. First, to help me review websites so that I can present observations and recommendations to clients. And second, to feed back on a web build/design project - assigning tasks and collaborating with designers and developers. I find zipBoard to be a far more effective way to do both these things that traditional methods such as documents or spreadsheets. It's more immediate and contextual. ### 7.

Promising but unintuitive **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Professional Training & Coaching | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 20, 2016 **What do you like best about zipBoard?** The ability to have multiple reviewers and highlight specific areas on the boards **What do you dislike about zipBoard?** Uploading zipped storyline files did not work, even when I gave the story.html file as the start up it simply didn't work. I tested it with 4 people - a mixture of internal and clients. Only one successfully used the tool correctly. Those who were not 'tech-savvy' simply didn't 'get it' despite me giving instructions and using the help. There are too many options for reviewing - I think simple is best, no need for comments, boxes, etc. Just click on the screen and add a comment. **Recommendations to others considering zipBoard:** Watch this space. **What problems is zipBoard solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is difficult to capture feedback for elearning. The potential is there for this tool to be successful, I think it needs more testing with people of varying technical abilities. ### 10.
