Virtual white board

Is there an app that acts as a virtual white board allowing you to have virtual objects you can move around the screen. Like magnets on a white board?

Any game controllers for M3 iPad Air? I have had an M4 iMac and M3 iPad Air for several months and would like to try playing a game with a game controller but I am completely baffled how this works. I guess since there are many more games available for the iPad I would like to get a controller for that. As far as I can tell, Apple has to officially support a certain controller AND the people who manufacture the controller have to design it to work with a specific Apple device AND the software people who make the game must design the game to work with Apple AND the specific controller. Obviously all the games on the App Store work with iPadOS but I have searched (including searching the website of the game developer) and have never found any games that say they are compatible with any game controller. As far as I can tell using a game controller with an M3 iPad Air is theoretically possible but realistically will never happen. I found this game controller manufacturer 8BitDo that says "Officially supported by Apple" and then lists their controllers that they say are all compatible with iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, tvOS, and visionOS. Strangely Apple's website says nothing about officially supporting 8BitDo. The only controller Apple's website says it supports is the Sony PlayStation DualSense Wireless Controller. Another thing that is confusing is I remember on my G4 iMac I had a game controller and the OS had this mapping software where if in the game you had to press "J" on the keyboard to make the little character jump you could set the preferences so if you hit a certain button on the controller it was the same as hitting "J" on the keyboard. But the iPad has no keyboard and you play the games by just moving your finger around the screen or tapping part of the screen, so even if it had the software how can you map the controls on a controller to moving your finger on a screen?

iPadOS 26 broke one of the best things about the iPad: multitasking. iPadOS 26 seriously damaged the iPad multitasking experience. Before, Split View and Slide Over were fast, gesture-based, and perfectly suited for touch. You could drag an app to the side and instantly work. No menus. No extra steps. Now everything requires more interactions, floating windows, and decision points. It feels like macOS forced onto a touch device — slower and less intuitive. Please bring back the classic Split View and Slide Over gestures, or at least allow them to coexist with the new window system. The previous multitasking was one of the iPad’s strongest features.

There are probably lots of apps in the App Store that will do what you want.

The only one from Apple that might is Freeform:
