I really hate how Microsoft replaced the Sketch app with their Whiteboard app. It was perfect on the Go. The Whiteboard app now requires you to login in to cloud services just to draw a squiggles. I'd rather not have my notes forced into the cloud.
- orif 6y agoSketch app was one of the most useful apps in Windows 10. It was snappy and just one click away. Hate its replacement, wish they at least let us to keep Sketch app instead of just replacing it.
- Timpy 6y agoThis drives me absolutely nuts about Microsoft. I don't want to have to login to anything just to use a simple app.
- AshamedCaptain 6y agoThe sketch app would also start within microseconds of me pressing the pen button (ignoring BTLE connection latency). The Whiteboard app first takes seconds to start, then it stays some additional seconds showing an empty screen until it decides to start the login process, then it needs a couple more seconds until you can actually sketch down your note. By which time I have already forgotten about whatever I was going to write down. Setting the pen button to launch OneNote is now literally faster than Whiteboard and that's just ridiculous considering the idea of not putting OneNote in there in the first place was to have something quick & snappy to take quick notes. The "just press the pen button and jot your ideas now" idea was broken the day they shipped Whiteboard. The "new" Microsoft is just as ridiculous as Google. They kill their own usecases as fast as they create them.
