Lensoo Create is an app for creating whiteboard videos on your phone or tablet. The app is available in an Android version and in an iOS version (iPad only).

To create a video on Lensoo Create just open the app and tap the record button in the top of the screen. You can then start drawing on the white canvas in the app. Everything that you draw and type is captured in the video as is anything that you say while drawing. You can pause the recording then add a new page on which you draw while talking. When you’re finished just tap the “done” button to save your work.

One of the shortcomings of Lensoo Create is that you cannot save your videos to your phone or tablet’s camera roll. Instead you have to create a free Lensoo Create account to save your videos on their cloud service. Once saved you can share links to your video. Lensoo says that you can download your videos from your online account, but I haven’t been able to make that function work update: I tried it again the next morning and I was able to download the video.

Applications for Education
Lensoo Create could be a good choice for teachers who want to make whiteboard videos to explain how to solve math problems or anything else that is best illustrated with handwriting. As a free app, it’s not a bad option. That said, it’s not quite as good as the paid ShowMe or Explain Everything apps.

Thanks to Allison Theissen for correctly pointing out that the iOS version only works on iPads not on iPhones.
