iXplain

I've found this really useful; the only downside is that if you want to record voice, you can't have multiple slides. If you want multiple slides, you have to do voice separately, which is not so nice. I just did separate files for each slide I wanted, then combined them in Moviemaker afterwards, and that worked well.

I like iXplain very much. It is perfect for math teachers, which is what I am. I use this app to answer students' homework questions. As the electronic world trends away from Flash, I need a quick way to make videos for my students.

I use iXplain to teach in class, and here is how I would compare it to its main competitiors: Explain Everything + iXplain is much more stable. EE is slow and tends to crash with too many pages. + iXplain has pen-pressure-sensitivity support that EE does not have. - iXplain can basically only import images, whereas EE can import many others formats. PowerPoint: + Animated inking, which PP does not have - PP is much better with adjustment of animated objects Note on "Unexpected Error": If you see this error, try changing the directories for saved recordings and videos. You can do by clicking into each category from the home screen of iXplain, swipe from top edge of screen to bring out the menu, and click "change directory". The error should go away once you set the folders.

This is a very useful app. The main thing I would add is the ability to pause a recording and re-start it. I am recording videos for a class I'm teaching, and I could make the videos run a lot more smoothly if I could pause and re-start. By in large though, this app is great!

This app is great and works smoothly on my Surface Pro 3. The only thing I'm unhappy with is the quick recording modes versus base recording modes. What I really need is the ability to do a quick recording (record pen strokes and audio at the same time) but with all of the tools available in the base recording mode. I found no other way to contact the developers to request this so I put it here. Upgrading to this capability would get two additional stars from me... :)
