I think I finally found someone dedicated to apple and not the comparison between them and other systems and products whew. Thank you so much

I have been using Freeform to gather genealogical data for different ancestral lines, and it’s been very helpful in organizing the data

These are some excellent tips. Freeform is an incredibly flexible app, so much so that it can be kind of difficult to think of ways to use it. So videos like this are really helpful!

i’m doing my masters in info tech and we’re having to start out doing a LOT of mapping and models. i never really cared much for freeform other than a mood board for the new year, this can be very helpful for school!

Could you do a deep dive into each of these uses. You went over these so quickly. It would be great if you could do a tutorial on each of these case uses of freeform.

6:52 Hi Chris, great video! FWIW I find the fastest way to create a joined curved line between two shapes is to select them both (drag or tap and hold each) and then add the curved line from the menu. Fewer taps than the approach here of duplicating and connecting both ends

Your previous videos on Freeform made me want to use the app, but I didn’t feel like I had a reason to.

THIS video right here was the perfect catalyst to help me find ways to use it, so thank you! Your coverage on it shows just how robust it is, making more people want to use it, so this app is only going to get better (and hopefully include your fountain pen down the line ☺️)

Your idea of using mind mapping gave me the idea of using it for family trees!

Great Content Chris. I’ve used Freeform for a few things and you’ve now inspired me to use it more often, when it’s time for a more creative flow. Thanks. 👌🏽

Voice dictation to quickly jot a bunch of sticky notes is awesome! Nice tip.

[drdentrepair]

This is amazing! I had no idea that freeform could be used in so many ways. This went into my favorites. Need to rewatch it a few times

[PaweChyl]

Nicely done, thanks mate! Tbh last week I was able to brainstorm and plan the whole eCommerce project with the client using Freeform. Was kind of surprised how much better it felt for practically touching the timeline 💪👍

Yes, please thoroughly test the collaboration feature in the next video. The syncing has not been up to par when collaborating. Example: iPad to iPad with a friend; if I handwrite a sentence, it doesn't properly sync some letters, so if I write "Hello there", my friend may only receive "H l o th r ". Same with other edits, they don't always show up. Make sure you try handwriting and making edits on one device in Freeform while the second device is not currently in the app, just so you can see if the second device will sync properly after returning to the collab board.

I just started using freeform earlier today and just realised how good of an app is to just organise life.

This was the best information or “how to” video that I’ve seen in a while. Short, sweet and straight to the point. Awesome demos. Most importantly you kept my attention the whole way through the video. I’ll be trying some of these tips and tricks soon. I can’t wait to use the app. THANK YOU

[YoRAHeem]

Wow! This was some great info and tips. I was sharing YT Shorts to my Notes and they were predominantly things that brought me joy or laughs that I wanted to save or share later. No real structure, just a happy board. Then you show the Note gears for more organization. Oh man!!! The one feature i want in Freeform from Notes with the Pencil is the draw arrow/line/shape snap function. I still find myself doing that in Freeform and it's annoying.

[HeyYoItsGabz]

This was very helpful, thank you! Update for anyone else finding this later, it does have the fountain pen now!

[newelleastland]

Love your work. With its limitations, Freeform is a fantastic app. This video helps point the way to using it as is with great effectiveness.

[themikeyd]

I needed this! Great tips and ideas. Wish the mid mapping could move all branches as one by moving the source sticky, if that makes sense.
Other wishes (in case anyone has work arounds):
-ruler tool
-draw a shape and have it snap into that shape.
-yes that pen too!
-link to an apple note!!! (You can link to pages etc but not notes. Then it would be a central product management.

Thanks again

Just bought an iPad Pro 11. Your video just opened the limitless possibilities Freeform can do. Thanks.
