## Review summary

Users praise Explain Everything as a powerful, teacher-friendly whiteboard with strong sharing/storage options and classroom versatility. However, recurring concerns center on high, subscription-only pricing, reliability issues (freezes, crashes, lost projects), negative changes post-acquisition (collaboration limits), and cloud-reliant design that can impact offline use.

### Pros

- Powerful, feature-rich whiteboard with educator-friendly features, flexibility, and polish.
- Reliable and long-used in education; consistently helpful for teaching.
- Strong cloud integrations with Google Drive and YouTube for saving and sharing materials.
- Versatile for classroom use, including replacing a document camera and producing instructional content.

### Cons

- Pricing model is subscription-only and expensive; many users want a one-time lifetime license.
- Frequent stability issues: freezes, crashes, projects disappearing, and inconsistent behavior across devices.
- Perceived negative changes after Promethean's acquisition, including new limits on collaboration and other restrictions.
- Heavy reliance on cloud storage can hinder offline use and create workflow issues for users who prefer local storage.
