Keep it
Nothing Educreations does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 5 things listed below take a company.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 76 of the 98 other whiteboard and mind map tools grade higher. It costs $99 a year.
What you could not
- An endless canvas that stays smooth with hundreds of things on it.
- Recording the screen with its sound, and somewhere to keep the video.
- Storing and serving files for other people.
- A real app for iOS. Something home-made would be a web page.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Educreations’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
