Freeform is a pretty good app, with many great updates! We can draw freely, and creatively in it. Only one thing I’d add, could just be few x-tra drawing tools, and materials. Thank You!!!By the way! I’m writing this to the owner/company of freeform..This is a great app, I’d just appreciate if this review could be viewed by “FreeForm” and they’d actually add some of the tools.I would really-really appreciate it!

Recent change to fill tool is unpleasant

This is on my iPhone 14Relatively recently maybe ~2-3 months ago, the fill tool has been changed so even the slightest touch of anything enclosed or almost closrd makes it fill and it's really annoying, particularly when I zoom in or out. This is more hindering than useful because I always have to click the undo button from unwanted changes where I zoom, it wasn't like this before. If there's any way to fix this or roll it back, I'd highly appreciate.I mainly wrote this to complain about this issue, but otherwise I use it for drawing and it's excellent. I prefer simpler design and programs easier to navigate and manage and this fulfills that wonderfully, but I find for more complex drawings it gets very laggy and crashes. The fill tool is my most used tool which is why I take great issue with the change to it. It's a great but limited software for drawing and ideas overall with minor flaws.

Wonderful but needs improvements

I enjoy this app a lot when brainstorming ideas and writing my scattered thoughts down as notes I can arrange. Freeform is essentially great for taking a look at the bigger picture of one’s vision and modifying it into something you can productively work with.However, it would be nice to have a folder or file system for the freeform boards we make. When you start to have more and more projects, its hard to keep organized when you cannot store or group your boards into different categories. I also encounter lag when my notes/elements start to pile up in a single board, even when I have a relatively new and powerful iPad. Hence, it would also be nice if the app wouldn’t slow down when loading notes on a big board.Overall, freeform has great potential and it is already a fantastic productivity app on the iPad. With more tweaks, it would be even better.

This is one of the better drawing and idea apps I have ever used. Currently it doesn’t allow snap shapes so when want to draw a straight line or a square for example, it doesn’t do it automatically like it does in notes. Once this is fixed this app will be 100% the best.
