🚨 Announcement: I just took over leading product for Microsoft Whiteboard on iOS.

I want to give everyone a quick update on where things are in full transparency because I believe in being customer connected and want your feedback!

Due to #COVID19 the need for #remotework and #remoteteaching tools has obviously skyrocketed, including a digital Whiteboard.

As a result, Microsoft Whiteboard iOS went from ~150 in Apple's @AppStore to #13 in US Productivity apps for iPad last weekend.

I have personally read every app review, tweet, @UserVoice comment and email we've had for Whiteboard iOS in the last 6+ months and it is clear the app needs some ❤ in the stability & bug area.

I've also become a DAILY user of the iOS app and experience this first-hand.

We've spun up a new Microsoft Whiteboard iOS team of engineers focused on making the app great, and yesterday had an amazing cross-company sync with engineers from the fantastic @Outlook iOS (thx @MPalermiti) and @msonenote iOS teams to supercharge our effort.

We're setting up more robust Microsoft Whiteboard iOS backend tracking systems to monitor issues with the app and resolve issues faster. We're looking at ways to scale this even further in the future too. This means reducing mean time from bug you hit to fix in your hands. 🎉

Much more to say, but will leave you with 2 key things for now:

1. @ me here on Twitter for anything Whiteboard iOS.
2. Want early access to new versions of Microsoft Whiteboard on iOS? 🖌

3. Whiteboard in @MicrosoftTeams
4. Whiteboard on @YouTube & @Twitter
