Limnu Reviews

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.

Sorry I cannot think of any disadvantage. Honestly I am but a user getting no shares nor benefits by this statement.

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.

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.

Font/Label size very limited. More brush styles are not available. Limited palette. No export to high resolution files. No rotate tool.

Real-time painting sessions with participants for empowering and therapeutic benefit.

Limnu allow us to work and think together even though we were far away

You can't erase the board if you're not an administrator

The fact of not being able to meet in person

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.

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.

Just try the white board for a few minutes and you will be hooked.

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").

There are so many features that I like, but my favorite is the ability to upload pictures and then draw on them.

It would be nice to be able to change the colors of images that have already been drawn

I can explain difficult concepts to my viewers while at the same time allow everyone to engage and contribute to the conversation.

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.

I really haven't found anything I dislike about 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.

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.

- very easy sharing of and collaboration on whiteboards

- fast and reliable

- infinite whiteboard

- cross-platform

Actually nothing significant, but as a wish it would be nice to have a library of symbols/forms to quickly add to the whiteboard.

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.

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.

I really like to say something I don’t like with Limnu, however, I can’t find any, objectively.

If you want an easy-to-use, powerful, customizable, online collaborative whiteboard, look no further—use Limnu!

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.
