App which allows me to comment and to write free-hand on PDFs

Question

I'm looking for a PDF editing app with the following requirements that runs on macOS 11.6.5 (Big Sur):

Do you have any suggestions?

@nohillside nothing, but I googled a bit and I found these two apps: highlightsapp.net pdf.wondershare.com/how-to/add-comments-to-pdf.html however, they don't seem to support freehand note-taking — DeltaIV, Mar 27, 2022 at 19:58
How exactly would you do freehand writing (tool-wise), I see neither a trackbad nor a mouse as a useful solution for this? — nohillside, Mar 27, 2022 at 20:15

It might surprise you, but the built-in Preview app has all of these features.

Here's an Apple Support article that describes all of the markup tools: https://support.apple.com/guide/preview/annotate-a-pdf-prvw11580/mac

This indeed surprises me. I see that I can add comments & notes, but what about freehand writing? Notes are written like regular text, using the selected font.
