Poor stability
Poor stability! I use the iPad version. Every time I use it for a while, the software will crash. When the software runs in the background, it will restart in less than half a minute, causing me to look at the white screen for five seconds every time I cut back from another software. This is a very bad experience. I believe it's not a hardware problem. I'm using the 2024 version of the m4 chip iPad. In terms of function, I think freeforms is much easier to use than goodnotes, but the stability is too poor. Please strengthen it.

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

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.

Deep Thinking godsend
As a visual thinker and avid mindmapper over the years, I have been reluctant to go too “freeform” and lose structure and search-ability.
Recently had some real deep thinking work for a complex topic that had to evolve over several days. Flipping between by Mac desktop and iPad having the ability to be a little more structured when needed via the keyboard and completely free with the pencil and combining the two on an infinite canvas was a fantastic experience and really boosted my effectiveness to get through the tasks.
Great experience and will very much be part of my workflows from now on.

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!
