Earlier versions of Collector permitted tapping to create new lines and polygons. The current version of field maps only permits cross-hair tapping to create vertices. I work on a type 1 incident management team and this has become a deal breaker for our operation folks; it's is very inefficient. Can you please revert back to simply finger tapping to add vertices.

Agreed! The ability to draw polygons with a stylus or your finger in collector classic was incredibly useful for field users needing to map out polygons where they might not be able to safely walk out a polygon perimeter.  Re-centering the map to add each vertex manually is a major time suck, and a huge reason why field teams have not migrated to the new collector or field maps.

Or give an option.

Agreed... greatly needed for the Field Maps application. In our case, we need to draw tree crowns and doing it by adding vertices is a lot of pain. Freehand pencil would be awesome.
