Ratings and Reviews
I ❤️ Freeform!
I have only had PowerPoint in Microsoft 365 for 5 months. However, thanks to Freeform, it has made my science fair project for the next school year easier. I do not have to use a keyboard like PowerPoint does because I only use PowerPoint on my Chromebook for school, and computers have a keyboard. Well, thanks to Freeform, It does not make me feel tired. It also requires more work to get to PowerPoint. But, because Freeform is an application, it is easier. Also, my iPad is in my arm’s reach because I charge it on the lowest level of my house and it is usable downstairs or upstairs, depending on my overall energy level. I also do not have to login with an account, but I must use my school account to use PowerPoint. Freeform also saves my projects automatically, while PowerPoint requires more work, I also need less material and work. So Freeform has made my life easier to create school presentations. Thank you very much Apple Company for creating this application. You are the best Apple Company!
Frustrating
This app has the potential to be great but it keeps freezing and lagging on my brand new iPad Pro m4 8gb and even did it on the 16gb version I had. To say the least this is super dissappointing, I recently switched back to apple after a very long hiatus. I haven’t been an apple customer since the first IPhone that didn’t have a video camera yet my Nextel did lol anyway my Samsung s20 from 4 years ago has a notes app which can do similar things if not more and i often find myself using that because it doesn’t lag. I wan’t to use the IPad for this but sometimes its so frustrating and considering the cost of this device as well as my Mac Studio this is unacceptable and honestly I feel super ripped off. Everyone says Apple is the best yet this $1400 IPad struggles to do things my Old Samsung Phone from 4 years can do and more. Really Second guessing my purchases and was waiting for the new IPhone to come out but if this is a preview then I will end up sticking with Samsung which is a bummer because it seems I can’t use my phone on Mac Studio like I can for Windows. Another feature I saw the new IPhone will be able to do which is beyond me why a Samsung Phone can do this from 5 years ago but IPhones are just now catching up. What’s going on here? It’s super disappointing to think that other companies may have surpassed Apple, I hope I am wrong. Sorry for my rant but this stuff is super expensive and considering the price point should work efficiently.
So close to perfect for the Apple Pencil!
I love all the tools available, all the ways it can be used for sure, all it needs to be perfect… I think would be some extra tools for the Apple Pencil itself, like… I’d suggest a brush being one of the effects for the Apple Pencil, because it would be wonderful to make more traditional paint-brush-effects, for recreating traditional paintings digitally. I also would suggest a pallet knife effect too, as this would also have a fantastic effect as well. Honestly, got greatly recently inspired by watching Bob Ross and his fantastic work, I especially believe his methods could be recreated digitally if the tools can be recreated, like the tools he’s used in painting itself. Trust me Apple, you guys would want to invest in these upgrades to the software, especially with how the 1st gen and 2nd gen Apple Pencil investments are for the artists above all else. I’d suggest this, due to how especially with the 2nd gen version of the Pencil has extra buttons too, people could program the buttons for switching between brush sizes and shapes, as well as how strong or light the brush can work. Genuinely, I wanna use my Apple Pencil for art more, since Bob Ross has me wanting to try pseudo painting, and this software updating for more tools would make every possible artist so happy it isn’t even funny!
