Mobile app redesign critique
Six screens with 30+ annotations across two critique rounds. BoardSnap organized feedback into visual, copy, and interaction buckets per screen — what would have been an hour of transcription took a snap.
Use case
Run a design critique on the whiteboard — and actually keep the feedback.
BoardSnap is an iOS app that reads whiteboard design critiques — annotated printouts, sketch feedback, sticky-note clusters — and organizes every comment into a structured, actionable summary.

The problem
Design critiques on whiteboards are efficient: everyone circles, annotates, writes on the surface. The problem is the output. You've got a board covered in overlapping comments, color-coded sticky notes, and crossed-out alternatives — and someone has to make sense of it.
The classic move is to take a photo and then manually transcribe all the feedback into a Figma comment thread or a Notion doc. That takes twenty minutes, important comments get missed, and the feedback loses its structure in the translation.
Designers lose critique signal this way. The whole point of a structured critique is to get grouped, prioritized feedback. If the output is a flat photo, you've lost the structure.
The workflow
- Print or sketch the designs on the whiteboard
Tape printed screens to the board or sketch them directly. Give each screen a clear label — the label anchors the feedback in BoardSnap's output.
- Annotate during the critique
Participants write directly on the board or add sticky notes. Circles, arrows, question marks, plus/minus signs — any annotation system works. BoardSnap reads all of it.
- Flag severity if you want
Optional: use a quick color or symbol system for severity (blocker vs suggestion vs question). This gives BoardSnap more signal for prioritizing action items.
- Snap at the end of the session
One snap captures everything. BoardSnap's VisionKit handles perspective, so you don't need to stand directly in front — snap from the back of the room if that's where you are.
- Review the feedback grouped by screen
BoardSnap organizes feedback by the labeled screen or component it's attached to. Each piece of feedback becomes an action item or a note.
- Assign and ship
Set states on action items — open, in-progress, done. Use the project's AI chat to ask 'what are the blockers?' and get a pulled summary of severity-flagged items.
What you get
A screen-by-screen feedback document: each labeled design with its attached comments, grouped by type (visual, interaction, copy, logic). Action items are tri-state with auto-generated subtasks. Blockers and questions are called out separately. The whole thing reads like a structured design doc, not a transcribed shouting match.
Real examples
Dashboard critique with sticky notes
A board full of color-coded sticky notes clustered around a printed dashboard mockup. BoardSnap read each note, grouped them by dashboard zone, and flagged four items as blockers based on the red markers used.
Frequently asked
Can BoardSnap read sticky notes attached to a printout?
Yes. BoardSnap AI reads sticky note text, inline annotations, and freehand writing. Physical printouts with overlaid sticky notes are a common input type.
What if multiple people wrote feedback in different handwriting?
BoardSnap doesn't attribute feedback to specific authors — it reads what's written, not who wrote it. If attribution matters, have participants initial their notes before snapping.
Can I use this for asynchronous critiques?
Yes. Snap the board after each person has added their feedback. BoardSnap projects accumulate boards over time, so async rounds are just multiple snaps in the same project.
Is the output shareable with people who weren't in the room?
Yes. BoardSnap's text output is copy-paste ready for Notion, Slack, Figma, or wherever your team tracks design feedback. The board image is also stored in the project for reference.
