Explain Everything is an interactive online whiteboard platform for which we offer two apps: Explain Everything Whiteboard and Explain Everything Basics.
Explain Everything Basics is the original Explain Everything app, created back in 2011 for iOS systems only. It is available as a one-time purchase and features the whiteboarding tools you know and love. After the one-time payment, you do not need to subscribe to keep using it. However, please note that it does not have all the features of Explain Everything Whiteboard.
Explain Everything Whiteboard is a subscription-based app that is currently available on most iOS, iPadOS, Mac, Android, and Chromebook systems, as well as web browsers. It has all of the features of Explain Everything Basics, along with additional cloud features, most notably Explain Drive cloud storage, as well as collaboration and conversion of projects into videos in the cloud.
Explain Everything Whiteboard is available as a free and paid service for individuals and groups.
