### 1/5 — Apple Pencil integration is poor

*2025-07-04, version 25.13.0*

You literally cannot use the scribble feature of Apple Pencil making this terrible if you want someone else to stop in who needs to use a keyboard and text.

### 3/5 — does not work offline

*2025-06-24, version 25.13.0*

can’t work offline.

### 2/5 — Disappointed with pen stabilisation

*2025-05-23, version 25.13.0*

Recent additions of stabilisation to the pen are infuriating. With the procreate app you can dial it to the amount you need - drawing sometimes means you need more. Writing with it however, is a nightmare and our entire team use it to draw and annotate as it’s easier for us. But at this point I think I’ll probably avoid using the app until they update it and head back to procreate and share wireframes in a different way. Probably the first update where it feels like they’ve done bare minimum, usually FigJam/Figma updates are exciting.

### 1/5 — Don’t bug me for reviews

*2025-05-05, version 25.13.0*

Don’t bug for reviews

### 1/5 — UPDATE DELETED MY STUFF

*2025-03-30*

I like this app better than the default Freeform Apple one, but I was so frustrated when I realized there is no iPhone version. I don’t care to try to draw on my iPhone but I do want to view my boards from my phone.

THEN I UPDATED TODAY. AND LOST EVERYTHING. I AM VERY UPSET. DO NOT USE THIS APP.

### 1/5 — Deleted all my boards

*2025-03-18, version 25.8.0*

Opened the app today and all my boards apart from the first one i ever made have disappeared. Ive tried redowloanding, logging out, everything. Everything is gone. All my revision mind maps i spent hours on disappeared. Thanks alot.

### 2/5 — Frustrating unfortunately

*2025-02-17*

Super glitchy, and deleted my whole file after working on it so long. Will not be using it on iPad again.

### 5/5 — Exceptional.

*2025-02-17, version 24.11.0*

This app is everything I could wish for! I love it.

### 5/5 — Great but missing features

*2025-01-17, version 24.11.0*

I wish you had the ability to rotate shapes and had the ability to select multiple objects with a selection tool. It’s so painful selecting each object :crying:

### 2/5 — PLEASE add support for copy/paste images from other apps AND universal clipboard

*2025-01-02*

Maddening not being able to take screen shots or things from other apps and easily paste into FigJam. IE, can’t copy something from Apple’s Freeform and paste in FigJam.  Screenshots don’t copy-and-paste to FigJam either.
