FigJam: Whiteboard & draw 4+

I love this app so much! It lets me make really big concept maps without glitch and long loading time. Really amazing I think every college student should check it out!

One thing I wish you guys had is the lasso tool, you guys have a section selector, but all my concept maps are intricately jam packed so this geometric selection tool makes it hard/impossible to move around certain sections of my work without moving my other content.

I love using this app as a way to sketch ideas with my Apple Pencil before moving into Figma. However, something has changed recently and now when I use the marker, it “corrects” the lines I draw and smooths them out. It didn’t use to do this a few months ago, at least not as drastically. This can be really annoying, especially if I’m drawing or writing something precisely and it completely changes the look of it. (Example, I draw a straight line, the app “corrects” it and it becomes curved.) I wish there was a setting for this so I could turn this on or off, depending on my needs.

The app isn’t stable. Crashes frequently. Multi-select is sorely needed on iPad. If it’s there it’s not obvious. iPad mouse support to select text and text boxes would be super welcome too.

However despite those criticisms the app is useful. Would love to see Figma produce an iPad app for Figma App too. Now that Adobe sale fell through sorry bout that for the $$$ but adobe would have ruined the product imo. Please bring data tables and real HTML dom components to Figma. In most cases we are designing for web apps so please make that part of the app experience. Last few comments really about Figma but I’ve been submitting that feedback for years so thought I’d try here too.
