Reply from Epic Pen

We're sorry to hear this and is the opposite of what we intended when we created Epic Pen. We pride ourselves on our ease of use and the fact most users do not require a manual on how to use Epic Pen.

However, if you do encounter issues or require assistance, we are always available over at support@epicpen.com to discuss these issues.

Stopped working and hasn't been fixed

Update: November 2025. For the past two months (since I installed Windows 11), Epic Pen (the paid version) has stopped working reliably. If it’s been running for a while, the pen stops responding and the toolbar becomes completely unresponsive. The only workaround I can see is to restart the program constantly.

I’ve recommended Epic Pen to countless teachers over the years, but now I regret it. I hope the developers can fix this quickly, because it used to be an indispensable tool for both online and in-person teaching.

I would like to be able to click and open new tabs in the browser or open other apps while the white board is open. change pencil back to cursor then due to cursor being selected allow clicks to take place in other apps

Hello,

We appreciate the suggestion regarding the whiteboard being open? Due to the overlay nature of Epic Pen, the whiteboard needs to take up the full screen as things currently stand. Regarding switching from pencil to cursor, this should be possible with hotkeys within Settings?

Not a good experience

I wanted to point at someone else's screen and this feature is useless

Appreciate you taking the time to share this review but Epic Pen is designed for solo use on your own screen which you can then share with others should you wish. It has never been designed to interact with someone else's screen and does not give this impression anywhere on our website.

Great, useful app

Great little program! It's useful in so many instances. Whether presenting or teaching, makes it easier to make your point across. Love the time limited ink! Also, the screen capture is the easiest around. In my opinion is just missing a way to name the archive right as you take it.

This is an amazing app that I use in conjunction with a Wacom tablet for teaching maths to students online. My second desktop is a plain light blue and I can write whatever strange diagrams and maths symbols I like on there. The student can then screen shot my working to go over later. I haven't given 5 stars because occasionally if I change colour or go to eraser and then back to the previous pen it can stop working or change the pen thickness. A minor glitch but can be annoying in the middle of an explanation. Otherwise, well done EpicPen - well named.

EpicPen is the best and most convenient app I've used for screen annotation. Easy to install, easy to customize.
I really like the support of this product, they always answer quickly, solve all questions and always try to give benefit to the customer.
I was pleasantly surprised by their humanity and support for people, not just customers.
Good luck to you!
