  • Good, but problem [Edit]

    I used to use Freeform almost every day, I do art on it since I don’t have any fancy drawing apps. It works well for an artist, although I do wish there were even more tools. Now, I know you might feel that there are a perfectly good amount of tools for usage, I just am sometimes looking for a very specific look that Freeform doesn’t have. So, you don’t have to change this if you don’t feel it will be useful, but I would appreciate it. The biggest issue with Freeform right now is that while I’m drawing the app will randomly close out on me. Not only that, but it’s super laggy even when it is working. So, devs, I would really appreciate if you tried to fix this. Thanks. [EDIT] It keeps kicking me out… I’m not happy. I’m going to get a better drawing app for sure. I’m just sad about losing all my work. It keeps kicking me out with no explanation. I never get to spend more than two minutes on it at a time. It’s honestly really sad. I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to lower this review to a two stars. (It was four before.) If you can fix it then I can bring it all the way up to a five, but I also know that the app pretty much never updates. So, if anyone wants a drawing app, I highly recommend investing in a *real* one instead of trying to use Freeform and lagging badly after a few months.
  • I love this so much!!!(tldr,it’s long)

    This app is super great for designing, and has been fairly helpful for my small business. For design purposes,I also recommend canva but this does a lot more. Tbh I started using it because it popped up on my screen when Apple released it and I updated my phone and I clicked and got lost drawing scribbles and figuring out how it works😅 but yeah. It’s not the best and sometimes kicks me out of the app randomly and stuff but not to bad, just a minor annoyance. The notes app is close to the same without some key features of this app, but yeah. I’ve had an issue collaborating, sometimes I do something and everyone else won’t see and vice versa, but I don’t need to collab often. I’m also annoyed messing up sizing when printing things 😑but that’s really a me thing. It’s helped me design a couple things for a party I hosted also which I liked and I fully plan on using it for my bday party 🥳 so yeah. So also after the app kicks me out randomly I click on the board agin and It says something like ”app quit unexpectedly last time you opened it” when it didn’t quit which is questionable but yeah. Sorry for the long review but overall it’s a pretty good app

    EDIT: I also started creating mood boards for some things and I do recommend doing that
  • 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.
  • Pretty Good

    I would have given it 4.5 stars, but it would only let me do whole stars. The only problems are it sometime is hard 2 work w/, and won’t let me move something exactly where I want it, and the formatting in the text boxes doesn’t change. But otherwise great app. Good 4 making virtual invitations, and even editing photos. You can also creat puzzles, word searches, and other games w/ this app.

    Now that my storage is kinda almost full (but i still have, like, 10 gigabytes left, so not really?) Freeform has been acting really annoying. When i use the keyboard to type something in Freeform, it's often really slow to respond. It also often undoes stuff that i didn't tell it too, won't show me all the stuff on my board, is slow to move things, etc. It also keeps exiting the app when i'm in the middle of using it, and then when i tap on it, is blank for about 30 seconds, and then opens up and then i tap on the board i was on, and takes a while to load it, yeah.
  • Best drawing app for adults and kids

    I don’t know how to talk now but this game is I mean this is in the game. It’s a drawing app. This is called Freeform. It is so nice. you could have as much gone as you want so helpful I’ve even can draw pictures of my family and if you go to the grid with the low square, she can find a perfect skin color. This is so fun tic-tac-toe and you can even dots without having to draw any board you just have to draw border for your dots and you choose choose your colors and play, this app now is good for working. You can draw stuff out for work. You can make PowerPoint drawings. Happy birthday pictures. It is so cool and fun. Please download this now. and creators thank you for making me. Sad is the best drawing app ever has 1 million star rating creators developers there’s nothing you can do to make this app more worse every time you do it gets better and better thank you to burgers.
  • A Great Drawing App

    Freeform is a fantastic app that allows you to be creative! The feature I use most is the drawing tool, which is an awesome cure for boredom on long roadtrips. (Not when you’re driving obviously) Freeform has many different artistic tools, like painting, pen, calligraphy pen, highlighter, and so much more! I like the ability to download images onto the canvas because it makes it so much easier to draw what you see realistically.

    One issue I have with this app is SO ANNOYING! I love to draw dragons, and I’ve been working on one and it’s just mwah. I’m still new to shading so I would experiment with the brush and such, but then all of a sudden the app would close. I would go back, but it wouldn’t have an undo button on my precious-now-ruined masterpiece! So I would just have super silly and wrong looking shading on my dragon. I hate that so much! Each time it would shorten the amount of time until it kicks me out of the app significantly, until it kicks me out every single MINUTE! Please fix issue, my guess is that it can’t have too much stuff on one board!
  • So much potential 😫

    I’ve been using this app for a few months now and I’ve had a great experience— until I started creating more detailed projects… the severity of lagging that occurs when trying to make small changes is insane. I spent about 5 whole minutes trying to adjust a lines length to match up with a 90degree intersecting line to create a crisp corner, and it will not for the life of me line up. I’ve tried adjusting the horizontal and vertical line and they will not line up flush to each other. It is very frustrating because now the app will lag like this for who knows how long.. I have to close the app and wait awhile to later come back and have a limited time before it starts acting up again. I’ve tried all suggestions I found on Reddit, cleaned out storage on my device and nothing seems to work. Aside from this, Freeform is by far the best free note/design app I’ve used. I just really wish this could be fixed😭😭😭
  • I love writing books

    I love writing books and drawing this app helps me practice. Thank you for making this app. this is an awesome app. It’s really fun and gives me a chance to write and illustrate you make me feel like an artist that can do two things at once. But I’m older I want to write books and do art this app helps with practice and I’m really thankful that this app can help me do writing better but I also uses for my emotions. It really helps me write things that I really want to say out loud I can’t do it. still reading because I think this app is really a good app and I could use it any time for anything honest I can write about feelings Sportime people I can draw and you just really thought possibilities I really like this app and thank you. I really appreciate freeform and I hope you can come out with another app just like freeform thank you. 📔📒📓📕
  • You you you think you’re so innocent

    You better fix the glitch when I was drawing I wanted to draw something and the game reset at the whole thing. I cannot reset it the game reset itself the whole thing I wasted so much time and the game reset in my thing. I will tell everybody he plays this game about this if I see or hear anybody talking about Freeform also tell my friend didn’t even know about you, so that’s good that’s good, and that’s very bad for you. Cause my friends are gonna be very upset at you you noodle thing I’m taking all my stars away I’m not gonna play the game until you fix this stupid glitch and you apologize to me immediately this made me cry.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 and I’m not being dramatic I’m serious I don’t like this game. I will not like the game this is fixed.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 when my baby brother grows up, I’m gonna tell him he sees this app and he gets it for free that he should be careful about the glitch because this happened this game this game it’s making me so mad. I’m only gonna give you one star that’s it so you’re starting on a new fan and I want you to try to get me back of liking this game get rid of every single glitch that can happen in this game😭😡😡😡
  • 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!
