Okay
They have the tool you want now.
Says store does not exist
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 💪👍
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!
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. 👌🏽
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
I have been using Freeform to gather genealogical data for different ancestral lines, and it’s been very helpful in organizing the data
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
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.
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.
Thanks for bring varied uses to the table. I think Freeform is great, as it mirrors how my brain works.
I just started using freeform earlier today and just realised how good of an app is to just organise life.
Thank you for explaining this app . This app plus the Good Notes app…gold ! I can scribble and add whatever I need and just screenshot to import to GoodNotes !
Hey Chris! Great show! Keep it up. What you do is invaluable. Don’t get discouraged. When the VR headsets come out. You launch another channel. All the best sir.
Super useful, I love Freeform and you just showed a lot more reasons to love and use it! Subbed!
Chris!!!! Your content is amazing!!! I always look forward to seeing your videos!!! Thank you. :)
Thanks for doing this. I use Freeform on my work computer. Now I have more ideas of how to make it more fluid.
Voice dictation to quickly jot a bunch of sticky notes is awesome! Nice tip.
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
Shill
Awesome tip ❤
Your idea of using mind mapping gave me the idea of using it for family trees!
Excellent video and nice job illustrating the difference between Notes and Freeform.
you got me with the mind map usage! great video!!!!
Excellent introduction! Thank you for sharing. I tried out most of the tricks you mentioned on my phone. Rocket fuel for learning the app!
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.
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 ☺️)
If you don't have a new, top of the line iPad Pro (or a computer) I wouldn't bother
I have a 5th gen iPad air and while the app is great under many points of view, it just runs horribly on my device. My iPad just heats up incredibly fast and has the battery basically eaten away (probably due to the cpu maxing out) plus the enormous input lag of the 2nd gen apple pencil renders any writing impractical, unless you are willing to write very slowly
And that's without running any apps in the background, of course
I was so excited to use it to study but I guess I'll have to either be patient or switch app entirely
Thank you for this recommendation and demonstration. I need this more than a notebook in goodnotes
Just bought an iPad Pro 11. Your video just opened the limitless possibilities Freeform can do. Thanks.
Great video. Freeform is kind of a black box and it’s very helpful to find videos like this one touching on some of its’ capabilities. Thanks!
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Truly wow’d!
Truly wish I had known about this app when composing a very in depth biochemical map by hand.
Powerful insights!
Downloading straight away!
Now these are some **really** useful ideas. Thank you so much, sir!
Thanks for the tutorial. Good stuff!
My mind is spinning! So much info! Thanks!
Wow, great video!!! Just learned so much !
Thank you for this great teaching ❤
Excellent video , very helpful! Thank you!👍
This is awesome. Thanks Chris!
Great content. Was waiting for this. Enjoying Freeform, but not using it enough and this gave me some great context.
Great to hear!
Thank you for these great tips, very useful and powerful
Really Thorough, Fantastic Tutorial/Review. Thanks
Great lecture on a useful app, beautifully presented. Thank you for uploading. Will use this video many times cos I need this app. 🙏
This video is very interesting. I though the freeform was useless now I will give it a try for my projects. I am a bit disappointed though that appl does not combine them. An app born from Notes and freeform could be outstanding. Thank you for the quality content.
Hi Chris! Well done again! Great video with practical content and logical approach. Personally, I have been using Notes and Freeform every single day for everything, I believe that Apple has honoured its reputation on simplistic and top functional solutions empowering users to a more elevated level. In my opinion nobody in the Apps market comes close to the efficiency of these applications. Because these applications now I am more in control and do more in my multiple endeavours. Good on you! from Australia
This app needs more attention from creators! In currently planning out a video shoot with it and I'm losing my mind how easy it is to work with! It's like milanote but built in and free
You are a master at freeform. Great video !
Really nice work. Thank you.
Going to have to watch that again, soo much info thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for your videos and I really love your email newsletters !
🙌🏻
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
Good thoughts. I guess you group all of the items for the mind map if you wanted to move them all together but that’s not quite a slick as what you’re envisioning.
When i bought my ipad, i deleted this app just because i never seen its full potential…and now watching this video, i am questioning my sanity for deleting such wonderful app 😅
Unfortunately until it stops preventing me to rotate whole canvas this app is a huge wasted potential for me
Don’t question your sanity :) . You can just reinstall and use . I am sure you will put it to great use like many other apps u might be using for productivity :)
Hey! It’s Chris! Man I love the format of this channel
These Freeform videos have been very helpful, thank you! I’m an idea person, so I’ve really dived into using the app and love it, but I’m running into one big issue. If I want to do some writing, I can insert it in Freeform from a storage location. I choose a file (in this example, I’m inserting a Pages document from iCloud) and a tile of the document is placed on the board. If I want to make changes to that document in Pages, that tile in Freeform is just opening a copy. It’s not syncing up with the original/revised document. I’ve played and played with it, so I’m thinking it’s not a functionality. I’m thinking I’m going to have to use another app or platform where my writing documents create a URL I can then paste into Freeform, but I would like it to be an iOS app and free if possible. Any insights to this would be very appreciated! Thanks!
Also… thanks for this video. Was very good!! 🙏
So well explained! amazing! question(s): Can I use, download Freeform in : Ipads, Iphone and my MacBook pro...? Thanks! cheers!
Great stuff! I might actually use this app. Thanks for all the info!
No problem!
This really the best!👍
This is fantastic 🤩 I
guess using on iPhone 📱 is NOT ideal after watching this ! Thank you
Thank you so much!
Dude. Cool I had no idea it was this powerful
More more more
Iblove this app already. Thank you so much for this!
Glad you like it!
Productivity class??? Yes please
Great video. Great app. And I’d like to use it. But there’s no way to add lined ‘paper’ (for lists, for example) so I’ll have to stick with Notability
Great vid. Opens so many doors.
Well done, Chris; your video was very helpful. I have a quick question. I used the "clipboard" symbol I found in the Education category. I added a bullet list in the center of it and put a title name on the clippy part at the top of the symbol (very cute symbol!). However, I do not see how I can group these additions to this symbol so I can move it intact; if I move it, the text and bullet points do not move with the symbol. Have I exceeded the purpose of using a symbol? You showed taking a symbol apart and using the pieces separately, but can I not add text and bullet points to a symbol?
Great content!
This is like All in one👍🏾
Mr. Chris, great video. However I don’t know if it is because I am using a iPhone XR, but I noticed that some of the menu options described on this video for the iPad is not applicable for my iPhone. Would you know why that would be so?
😮😮😮 now I only use this tablet for gaming. I never have used it for Notes, but that is quite interesting. I will use it for notes from now on to.
Thank you!!!!!
i’d appreciate a canvas color changing setting. for now i just put a shape in the background, choose the color & lock it
Freeform is like a hands on Adobe Indesign, but so much more
It all depends upon one's creativity and how they are going to use this app wonderful app it is
Thank you....can you do a infographic please 🙏🏼🏹🤗
I really wish for iPadOS 17 apple add a simple way to connect its own app - and not the half dozen taps to manage just part of it. It would be great to add a Freeform board to a calendar appointment, to a note, a reminder, or be in calendar and add a link to a Freeform board and not just the “add attachment option”. It’s these kind of features that really speed up workflows.
You can also do the same with pdfs that you did with slides. Sure, you can import a pdf into the app, however did you know that you can grab and pull out a specific pages(s) and copy them out separately into Freeform. I have several reference pdf pages that I frequently use. I zoom in to read them or zoom out to move the pages around, just as if they are physical copies on my desk. Amazing feature that I haven’t seen covered in any videos.
How does one go about separating out single pages from a pdf into Freeform? This sounds like a very helpful feature.
@@genericuser7319 It’s actually very easy. Once you import a pdf into Freeform, you tap on it and use the eye icon to open it. You should see the pages of the pdf down the side that you can jump to. Just tap and hold the page you want. This will bring up a pop up where you can copy it. Tap Done in upper right to exit out of the pdf. Then tap and hold anywhere in Freeform on a blank area and the Paste option will show. You can then paste the page of the pdf. Expand it to whatever size you need and move it around. It’s an awesome feature! I hope this helps?
@@loren8957 Thanks! This was helpful.
Great tips!
Nice job Chris.
Glad you enjoyed it
I can't wait until apple gets an IA searching system in this like Notion... NEXT LEVEL COMING SOON! Thanks for the great content !
Remember Khan from Star Trek or Mulan.. or The actors James Caan or Scott Caan?
It's Kan Ban both words rhyming with Khan or Caan not like the Tin or Alumimun containers.
Sorry Japanese major so I cannot help but try to fix this everytime I hear it. The video rocks either way and I'm sure I say things sideways too 🤣
Nice video! The app looks like a creative version of Visio.
If I already have a massively long note of material for a class that I am an instructor in; am I able to “transplant” that writing from Notes app over to Freeform; and begin to sort it with the new features available inside of Freeform…?
Or, am I stuck; having to enter all of that information again NEW, but just inside of Freeform….?
Thanks in advance!
Checklists would be nice. And true Brainstorming Hierachy (like Mindnode). And hyperlinks within a board - for very big boards. Snap to grid. Folders for boards.
All good ideas!
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’ve had these issues as well. It was quite disappointing
Same here. It’s a critical feature that’s too broken for real world use.
Same between my phone and my ipad. Some handwritten notes don't want to appear on my phone while new notes on the same board are syncing. I don't know what I need to do to get away this bug.
@@kevinmartins1669 Glad to know I'm not the only one who's having these sync issues. It's embarrassing that this has been an issue since Freeform was in Beta and the issue continues.
Have you updated to the latest version? I know some sync issues got fixed with the latest dot release…
I know this is not Figma, but I really miss having the ability to check the distance between elements, in Figma when a element is selected, holding option key and hovering over other elements give you the distance between those elements. I know freeform has great distance and size guides but I need precision, let's hope they add this. Great job as ususal
Thanks for the video! I have been trying to do some basic things here that I can normally perform on other whiteboarding apps but have struggled to. Anyway you can help me figure these out? - 1. Rotating a shape 2. Undo gestures with fingers on iPad 3. Auto Shaping when drawn with apple pencil 4. Shape suggestions when drawing connectors to make a flowchart. 5. Some preset charting templates like swimlanes, tables etc. I hope these are coming soon to make me replace the likes of Miro, Mural, Lucidchart etc.
Not sure about 3-5, but 1. tap and hold two fingers then rotate and 2. Tap three fingers, brings up the undo/cut/copy/paste/redo menu
Actually 3. Can’t be done yet, but given it can be done in Notes etc, hopefully it will come to Freeform in a future update
And 5. I’ve actually made up my own swimlane to use as a template, but obviously it isn’t as good as having built-in options!
@@kimballfink-jensen1921 Thank you for testing these out for me. Could you rotate a shape on the mac version? I am not getting any rotation handle when I select a shape.
@@shinjans Hold down the Command key while dragging one of the shape’s selection handles
Great video. Is this an infinite canvas style app?
Thanks for demonstrating freeform so well.
For those who don’t have mind mapping software, it’s useful. However, if you do already have mind mapping software (MMS), it sucks! Why? Because MMS automates connections which is the biggest, most time-consuming task within “idea-creating software”.
That point could be addressed by Apple to some extent in their next version.
I am about to take NCLEX next year bro and i want to use an ipad for my whole course of review. Which ipad that you could recommend that is good enough for taking notes? I don’t play video games just for study.
Hi Chris,
a really strong video. Many thanks for all the tips.
At 12:52 minutes you show that you write with the Apple Pencil like a fountain pen and say that it's your favorite tool for writing.
I can't find this fountain pen in my Apple Notes. Is that a separate app? Or am I missing something? Can you help me?
Thank you very much for this tip also!
Hi, if you haven't found how to, this is how. Enable the writing tools bar, and where the pens are, gently drag to the left with your finger; the fountain pen is in there, but it is hidden... Hope this helps.
@@clastacat 😀Thanks a lot...Now I found it...🙏
Dude. I mainly used Freeform for art and used notes for everything else. Think I might use Freeform more
Outstanding app, outstanding video.
Have been 'freeforming' for dog years in Microsoft whiteboard. Still prefer that because I use it on all platforms and pick up where I left on any device... In fact, I prefer it for simple notes and OneNote for more sophisticated ones.
Hey Chris, what iPad is that? Cheers
One day, Apple will come up with something like Adobe’s “dynamic link” between programs. That will be sweet
Awesome videos sorry I’m so late
Is there a way to lock rotation of images? I find I rotate stuff while trying to zoom/move around with two fingers.
Amazing app!
I love that you do good tips and tricks videos. But can you please do one on mastering notifications??? Everyone doing apps and stuff. But notifications on Apple devices are getting out of control and I’m so tired of it. Would love to see what ‘next level’ people do to wrangle their notifications….. pls pls.
6:51 is it possible to link to different mind map? in different whiteboard ? or in the same whiteboard?
if we are honest, how does this really differ from powerpoint? or keynote, if you prefer?
Ive just downloaded Freeform on my ipad pro, made sure its up to date and for some reason i cant use it as it's intended too. As in i can't use it as a big canvas. I can only use it as big as the iPad if that makes sense. Can someone let me know what im doing wrong as this is the first time im using this app but not quite sure why i can't use it as a continuous digital whiteboard as im supposed to be able
