Freeform 4+

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!

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.

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
