C’mon! This is cool!

No offence, and I hope this message doesn’t hurt anyone’s feelings. I think this app deserves more great ratings, even no matter how bad it is or how many hours it takes to make one project. I realised this app has so many bad ratings, and I hate to see that! You see, I think these creators of Freeform has done several more hours spending their time and effort to make this app. Look at all the wonderful pictures you can sketch, look at the wonderful pictures you can insert and look at all the shapes and animals you can insert! There are many good functions about this app, and I hope people will start to be more mindful and stand up for it. I can’t imagine why anyone would be so selfish and think about how many hours of anything this app is wrong! 😑 Don’t they take many days or hours to create this app? It should be very popular! I think this app deserves a gold award. 🥇 C’mon, everyone should know is not about the app helping you on everything like Copilot, Bing, Google, or ChatGPT. It is also about how much time and effort they took creating all the pens and stuff! I would really be happy to see more improvements in these ratings.

Some good reviews about “Freeform�

Over all very good! There are a lot of things you can do ! You can draw, type and many more! But one thing I want to ask is if their is no wifi or if I am in the airplane , which I need to put on a aeroplane mode , can I still use this app?

I hope a lot of people will use this app! :)

Being real

I was taking notes that are included in my grade's syllabus, though a handful, but not even halfway through one chapter before I encountered a problem that many others have mentioned in the reviews: really bad lagging.

I realized my mistake when I noticed that this app was developed primarily as a platform for jotting down ideas, not for extensive note taking. However, I've grown attached to this app because of its aesthetic appeal and minimalist functions, which have given great value to my note taking experience using it. This led me to consider making a suggestion.

As such, fix the lag and maybe rebrand the app as a heavy-duty handwritten note taking and idea jotting platform. While I understand there already is a 'Notes' app. It was, however, designed for quick, convenient use therefore it lacks features which disables users to express creativity or write notes suitable for students. With this app’s potential and the issue addressed, I believe it could reach a broader audience and receive much more praise from users like me who values both functionality and design. Despite trying other note taking apps, I continue to use this one, even with its difference in purpose. ��♂���♂�💃
