Love the app!
Overall I really like the app and it has been quite useful for me as a realtor =)
Great way to fill out forms and make your own fillable master form.
I have had a hard time figuring out how to easily share and send the form you want and the notifications when you receive it back. Wish I could save the docket in my own files
