It's got a few quirks and yes, it only works on Apple devices, but it's a great tool for putting all your thoughts in one place.
But this experience hasn’t been all that simple for me. After attempting to collaborate on a board with my editor and not seeing changes made in real-time or our icons appear on the board, I noticed a message that says “Freeform requires upgraded account security in order to view active collaborators.
” When I tapped on it, I was prompted to create a password for the iPad to enable end-to-end encryption, but I already have a passcode on the iPad. Even after creating a password through the Freeform app multiple times, I’m now receiving error messages that say “Can’t Open Board,” preventing me from accessing any collaboration features. I’m still in the process of troubleshooting my issues with collaboration, and as Apple only just released Freeform, I wasn't able to try it with other folks just yet. You might not run into this problem. To see the exact changes someone made in a shared board, you’ll have to refer back to the group chat—it’ll appear at the top of the Messages thread. Flow-wise, this is a little awkward. I would like to have a dedicated section to track changes and additions within the board itself. At the very least, tapping on the update within the thread in Messages will automatically bring you to the shared board.A few months ago, I offered to help two of my friends plan floral arrangements for their upcoming wedding next year. I was switching between the Notes app and Google Docs, using whichever was already open on my phone or computer at that moment. I also was frequently scrolling through email threads with a florist to reference specific price quotes or to catch up on the latest updates. I figured Freeform could streamline the process. After starting a new board and sharing a link with my friends, I got to work on my iPad. Navigating Freeform feels intuitive, and it supports similar gestures you’ll find in Apple's other apps. Use two fingers to zoom in and out on the board, tap on an object to highlight and move it around, resize objects using the dedicated points on each corner to expand or contract them, and rotate objects using two fingers.
