Unleash your creativity
• Add photos, video, audio, documents, PDFs, web links, stickies and more anywhere on a Freeform board, perfect for creating a digital pinboard, collecting research for a school project or gathering inspiration for your home renovation.
• Use your finger, or Apple Pencil on a compatible iPad, to draw anywhere on the canvas. Choose from a variety of brush styles and colours.
• Create beautiful diagrams with a library of over 700 shapes and alignment guides to help make your document look just the way you’d like.
• Scan paper documents with the built-in document scanner to archive documents and even annotate them if you’d like, directly on the board.
Collaborate with others

Ratings and Reviews
I love it
I use it everyday, this has so much potential and I still explore it. I systematise my ideas and projects visually, it helps a lot with my motivation, when I open the projects.
Features and performance lacking.
I’ve been using this app for some time. I take a lot of notes using the Apple Pencil and I like to draw diagrams for connecting ideas and showcase engineering solutions. Furthermore I also annotate mathematical equations and geometric figures.
What it doesn’t make sense to me is that the snap draw feature is not present on this app; you can find this feature on every mayor note taking or drawing app, even in Apple notes, but not here.
Also, I have a really big board with a lot of annotations and every time I wan to pan it or add something it lags a lot, the response is really slow and sometimes it crashes. I guess there’s really no point in having and infinite canvas if your board is not going to support much information.
Constructive criticism
I would give it more but it needs some development - brushes with more dimension for fonts, customisable colour palette, bring an able to create folders for all notes, highlighter that goes below text/ drawn things and above photos, possibility for lines on page. Otherwise works great with apple pencil and I am very happy for this addition. I truly hope to see updates with some of my suggestions soon!
