Like many people, I thought it was a new useless thing.
I use Freeform only on my iPad.
On iPhone, it is not convenient because of the small screen.

And on Mac, I cant easily cut out elements using a tap to put them there.
it’s possible for you to also use Split View on the iPad.
What is the Freeform app for?
Freeform is a digital whiteboarding app.
Freeform can be used in many different ways.
It is essentially a digital whiteboard on which several users can write and draw at the same time.
you’re able to share ideas and complement the other person in real-time.
How to access your Freeform boards on all your Apple devices?
you might access your Freeform boards on all your Apple devices.
How to collaborate in Freeform with other people?
The Share feature in Freeform allows you to collaborate with others by giving them access to your board.
This is good for teamwork, sharing ideas, and co-creating content or notes.
When someone makes a change to a shared board, you will receive updates about it on your board.
it’s possible for you to add up to 100 people on a board.
But also take into account that syncing of inserted elements does not work perfectly.
How to use the Freeform app?
Freeform app works the same way on iPad, Mac, and iPhone.
At the top of the screen are all the tools available to help you create content on the board.
The first element is thedrawing tools.
It is only available on the iPad and iPhone.
On the iPad you could use the Apple Pencil to draw.
After you select drawing tools, you will see a toolbar like this:
Next is theNotes tool.
In this way your text will be expressive, as if it were text on a sticker.
Apples Freeform offers a variety of preset shapes that can be used like digital stamps on a canvas.
Then it’s possible for you to tap on the shape and change the color and size.
you’re able to alsoadd text.
To do this, tap on the text box.
it’s possible for you to change the font, positioning and size.
you could add pictures.
Do you need an Apple Pencil using the Freeform app?
you’ve got the option to also add stickers and text.
So test both options to see how youll find it more convenient.
But this app works without using Apple Pencil.
Heres my opinion on it
Lets start with the advantages.
This allows you to add cut-out elements.
Using Freeform on the iPad was the most convenient way for me to use Split View.
In general, thats all the rest of the features didnt surprise me in any way.
Simple and easy tool if you dont need anything special.
Among the disadvantages is the function of collaborating with other people is not done perfectly.
Also, the Share function is complicated.
so that get the link, you first need to enter the users email in the field.
This email must be linked to an Apple ID.
I also didnt like that on Mac there is no option to use the draw tool.
Overall, Freeform is not a bad app, but it is not perfect for me.
you might get everything you need from this kind of app.
But it would be better if Freeform had more elements to add.
