NEW Freeform Features Make iPad EXTRA Worth It! (+ Tips & Hacks)

In the first couple mins i learned that you can swipe on the drawing tools in the bar to access other writing tools. Thank you for that

Can anybody tell me why my boards get so zoomed out (for lack of a better term)? I have to put my font in text elements to 144 just to read it. And the magnification to see the whole board is about 17% — and I only have three or four elements on the board.

Loved your dad jokes so much.

what a great and helpful vid and very well presented may I say!! 👏🏽✨

freeform does everything, but I think it lacks folder. If freeform has a folder we could organise every concept that we make in freeform. In my case as a student I have many subject and when I study simultaneously I had difficulty finding the subject I want to study since there are no folders that would indicate a particular subject which freeform lacks.

🎉🎉 Thanks to your video, I understand the connector button on/off 😂😂. Bravo for your videos, we want more tips. Hope in Notes we will have font and color, and maybe Apple can add font default in freeform smart selection

Hi, Chris. Did you notice that the eraser keep going back to its default setting? I changed the eraser to be an object eraser, but it keeps going back to "pixel eraser" after several minutes. So annoying.

How do you get shape recognition to work? My iOS is updated

I can't get this app to stop making straight-line errors when using the apple pencil.

does freeform has options to line text with arrows, so each time you change elements with attached arrows, you don't need to replace all text after it?

Is the board limitless? I always see an end to Canvas.

Thanks for the info on FREEFORM. Hey Chris, is there any way to link and item on the freeform page to any alarms or alerts? That would be extremely useful.

Goes by pretty fast

Inspiring! - Congratulation!

Thanks for the breakdown. 💯

What about dotted lines

The only thing stopping me from going iPad only is the need for Chrome browser with extensions. Any ideas if there is a solution to this?

Thank you

Dark mode , why can’t it have dark mode ??????

Paperlike ad...yawn..

Great video. 👌

Man i wanna love freeform so bad but its so crazy buggy i just cant rely on it. It doesnt sync my boards correctly, still :( i tried sending a whole treatment to a client using free form and it came in on there end as a jumbled mess, it kinda made me look bad lol ill stick to milanote and others until they get it sorted

Great video. Does anyone know how do I activate the perfect shape?

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed your topic. Blessings on your day.

I find it annoying, that you can not save default settings for sizes on post-its, text inside them etc. copying style is still more steps than having a default.
Also i find that the pencil/drawing settings reset when Freeform has been closed/restarted.

Also it would be great to have more text options, like choosing title, header etc. as in pages for "writing writing"

Looking forward to try the new smart arrow change

Never apologize for dad jokes

Another great video, Chris thanks. One piece of functionality that I would like to see in the future is the ability to click on one of the linking arrows and write something so I could do something like box a helps produce box B. This would make developing concept, maps or system dynamic diagrams, maps much more easy.

My Freeform doesn’t seem to have the new features and it’s up to date. Any thoughts? I don’t have the watercolor feature or anything. I’m running the M1 IPad Pro.

great work! thank you!

Can we copy and paste shapes and other design elements between FreeForm and Apple Numbers, Pages and Keynote while keeping those elements editable?

Great information. I learned about removing the constrain proprotion. Yesterday I dropped a PDF in freeform but didn't know how to see the whole thing. I tried your tip and it worked perfectly.

I’m experiencing some inconsistencies on how board render on iPad app and macOS app. It seems like some brushes render differently.

Awesome videos sorry im so late

Why I cannot export a freeform document as pdf just clicking the share button within the form. To do this, I need to go to to all board then choose the form that I want to export as pdf and click the share button. Not user friendly at all.

Great video! Really loved the Dad jokes 😂

The missing part of Freeform is the integration with other native Apple’s apps. It could be nice to have a full integration with Numbers for example.

Chris, love the glitches around the 14.15 mark....as a complete, beginner Gumby creator that stumbles a million times trying to say a sentence it is awesome to see a seasoned pro doing it too....love the channel by the way, never miss an upload, appreciate all you do 🇺🇸🇦🇺 ✌🏻

Did you glitch in this video my dude? …Does that make you a lizard? …Show us a closeup of your eyes in your next vid…. or the dog GETS IT!

All jokes (though you totally glitched) Superb video as always!

Great video!

Can you tell me how to take a screen shot since the update things changed, I have long natural nails. What program will allow me to write a note and send it to a friend, besides email? I’m going through cancer, too fatigued to search for answers. Chris I love your videos

I love this video but I just can’t get my head around how I would use this app!

Great video as usual.

Even though I cannot buy your course as I have no credit card as a student, hope the likes and subscriptions help. Keep making these videos!

Very useful tips! Great video!

I like freeform but keeping 100% it's not anywhere as good as Miro. Miro is still better in every way. It does everything you just mention for the past few years and much more. Would love to see a comparison. ❤❤❤

Love your videos man, keep them coming!

Chris - I know it’s simple but can help with customizing your/my/our pictures for stickers? While it’s easy to select but how do I get a perfect circle around it?
