4/5Nice little app, but...
I want to love this app not just like it. It has lots of cool little features except for one I consider the most important...being able to handwrite anywhere on anything. It does have one note-sticky that lets you write or draw, but it would be nice if that worked on all the stickies and tags. When I'm using sticky notes, I'm usually moving really fast and loose which means jotting with a pen or pencil, not typing. Also? Could we make it a little easier to change the board names? Maybe my device is malfunctioning but it's only by sheer luck that I manage to get the board to go into "edit mode" on the front screen so I can change its name. A little frustrating. Otherwise, I really love the concept of this app!

5/5Glad It's Back!
When you buy a real cork board and put stickies on it, eventually it becomes old, worn out, the stickies fade, and over time you get tired of it and move on. Corkulous changes that and gives you plenty of cool useful options to work with corkboards! I understand the pain of using an app that the developers stopped supporting - all of my corkboard apps have ended up in the app grave yard after a few years. I'm glad someone thought enough of Corkulous to bring it back and update it, and cared enough about the user community to change the pricing model so it could be profitable for them to keep it up to date and add new features. Let's be totally 100 - the price for this app even with an annual subscription is more than fair compared to the price of an actual cork board - and you probably won't be carrying many of those around with you every where you go! This app is really useful in a lot of ways, and the new developers deserve some appreciation for resurrecting this app from the big bit bucket and planning so they can keep supporting it in the future. Let's do our part and give them the support they need to update this app since Apple is going to keep changing iOS. If we get some new features along the way, that will be even better!

5/5The best multipurpose app!
SECOND UPDATE: Developed just introduced a Mac OS version art no extra cost! Excellent! UPDATED REVIEW: Happy to report that Corkulous Pro seems to be a robust app, extremely well designed and delivering a visual board full of handdrawn notes, websites and photos. A unique tool for research-based writing that can be drafted in a scrolling text note right on the board! Great to see a good app suddenly appear with a fresh look and enhanced features. Haven't played with it enough to discover any flaws this update may have introduced but all the extra customizing options are certainly welcome. Not to mention new PDF capabilities! Corkulous is unique and cleverly designed, now a general repository for anything you need to keep visible while you work on other items!

5/5Much needed
It blows my mind that there are so few apps like this. By design, the iPhone and iPad have always given you this digital blank slate to create on, yet so few apps actually take advantage of these visual 1:1 interactions like in real life. I work in a creative industry, every wall in our agency is covered is black pinboard material. I am so thankful this same type of visual based concept wall is back and being supported. To the developers: (I'm being serious) the only thing bad about this app is the Godawful iPhone gen 1 style app icon. I will happily design you 20+ alternatives for free. I love this app and I can't stand to look at it on my home screen. I'd imagine there's other creatives out tbste that feel the same. Please take me up on this refresh offer! It's 2018.

3/5Select vs Pan feature request
So close to being a useful app! This app has a lot of potential, but the user interface is a little sticky. Trying to move images around is a literal drag because you have to press and hold for a second to move (vs panning) and there’s no indicator that you have the image (or sometimes inadvertently images) selected until you start moving them. So I’m constantly and unintentionally panning instead of moving images. Simple fix would be a two finger pan versus one, so one finger is always selecting. Also, please make the controls larger or, if possible, to scale with the camera distance. I have to zoom too far in to grab the controls for the images. Also, I have yet to figure out how to resize labels, nor do there seem to be any other text formatting options. A few fixes and this would be great! Thanks!
