- Arubis 4y agoYep, this has kept me from recommending Freeform. Popped it open when it appeared, broke out my tablet, realized it was useless, reopened Notability.app.
- FeloniousHam 4y agoI won't argue whether it this app should allow drawing from a pen tablet, but there are exactly none of you left. (I have owned three pen tablets in my life). If it's free-from-Apple, the software is there to drive or enhance hardware sales.
- ubercow13 4y agoReally? Are you saying professional drawing tablets have been completely replaced with iPads?
- Aaron2222 4y agoI noticed the same with the annotation tools in Preview, despite drawing tablets on macOS being exposed to apps through Apple APIs.
- Tagbert 4y agoYou can’t do any “freeform” drawing on Freeform on Mac OS. You can only use the pen tool for vector lines and splines. There is no pencil/marker tool. I understand that a mouse or trackpad are not the best tools for drawing but many of us have used them for that since the original MacPaint app in 1984. Why remove this feature from the Mac version? Let alone for someone with a pen-based tablet.
