This app is amazing, I created a flow chart using this application to stream line rules and regulations from different rulebooks required for my work and it made my life so much easier. It’s fully integrated, I was able to add / insert webpages and file attachments from different file sources. The best part is that I sent a copy of pdf version to one of my colleagues, she was able to open the file with her PC and viewed the file with all of its attachments. May I just suggest though that the iMac version be folder supported and Markup function available. Other than that the application is a great tool.
Glitches are common in Freeform!

An amazing app that was developed for creative people! Freeform has oodles of POTENTIAL to make amazing art with a unique style & by using a variety of different techniques & mediums, as well as it’s relatively simple style & it’s also very interactive too! Freeform is truly unique! BUT… it doesn’t work properly for me! The glitches are not fun & they happen too often! For starters, the app sometimes won’t even open! & in the middle of my work, it’ll just randomly shut down or freeze & when I go back in to open it, I see I’ll have lost some of, or all of my work! It’s frustrating & I don’t bother using it very much because of this!So, to the Apple support team & the Freeform app developers out there - I ask you to please do something about this issue! It would be great if we could all use this amazing app! Don’t you think? It’s too good to waste, but it’s way too annoying to enjoy as long as these glitches go unfixed!3/5 stars
Room for improvement.

Needs folder support, Touch Bar support on Mac, keyboard support on Mac. The iPad Caddy is incredibly fickle and swipes shut at the lightest swipe. Make it more rigid. Let me reorder tools. Stop resetting eraser to pixel eraser, I want it to stay on stroke eraser. A bug on Mac makes it unusable where it continually copies the entire text box’s content into the text box while you’re typing, endlessly repeating the contents to the power of whatever you’ve already included. It’s infuriating. It forces me to open a note in split screen to type the text there and copy it in. Not good enough.Despite this, the apps infinite space and versatility has helped me draft many short stories to completion. That’s exquisite. For the most part this app is splendid but it has very frustrating shortcomings.
It’s a great app😁😁😁

Freeform is a amazing app. It lets you illustrate your ideas and imagination. It lets you soar with creativity. I think it would really benefit your drawing skills. It taught me how to master calligraphy and how to write neatly. There is a wild variety of styles you can create. Freeform is a amazing app. However, they are some changes I would like to request. For one could you please make it so the whiteboard is unlimited? I always try and make this picture. But it always seems to end and stops my imagination. I’m sure there are many ideas people have already said so I won’t ramble. Overall in general this is a great app with some flaws, but what doesn’t have flaws that’s what makes it Freeform. This app has so much potential it’s great to create and brainstorm your ideas.
