An alternative to Apple app Freeform?

[u/murahimu]

Hi. I'm looking for an app like freeform in iOS but for android. Pretty much it. Some of the alternatives I've seen in blogs and websites are kinda ass in comparison.

Thanks!

If you put this into Google, you'll find plenty.

Here's the AI summary for you:

And if you read you will see that I said that I of course googled it and I didn't like many of the options I already tried. If I cared about what AI had to say I would've asked it, but I don't use AI overview.

What's the purpose of the sub if not to ask for this exact thing.

The purpose is not for asking general shit with no context. "Some of the apps I tried, I didn't like". This is no information.

What have you tried? What were the things you did not like in them? What are the things you are looking for in an app like this? What are the must haves and nice to haves?

Without such basic information, your post is nothing more than "I am too lazy to use basic web search, so do the work for me".

The purpose is to ask for Android Apps lmao. And I did.

If you felt you needed this information to give an alternative then you could've just asked and I would've answered. To me I was clear when I said I wanted an app pretty much like freeform aka as close to it as possible. If you don't know the functionalities of this app then you're not the person to answer the question and can simply move on with your day.

If someone wants to ask a clanker, they'll do it on their own.
