While some features are good. Your singular home pkge should offer a bit more to earn five star rating. I rated just 4 stars. Erasing feature is a must to easily remove already written info, comes to mind.....

I have been very happy with the functionality thus far. I may be interested in a webinar in the future. A survey in a month or two would allow me a better sample to assess how PDFfiller will work to meet my needs.
