Very happy. Makes my documents look so much nicer and since I have neuropathy in my hands, it decreases my pain on a regular basis (way easier to type than hold a pen or pencil). Thanks SO much.

After a slow start and feeling misled by the "fill in your form for free" and then having to pay, I did get a full refund. The tech support was excellent - they were the only ones, that I could find, that could get me the rather complex fill in form from NY State Tax authorities (RP-5217). I still feel I should not have to pay a third party to file a required tax form - but that is an issue I'll have to take up with NYS, wish me good luck with that one.

Nice applications, sometimes doesn't move real smoothe from one blank to the next if you do not need to fill in for that one it seems to get stuck and has a lag, but over all, nice program.

The only thing I wished for in using it was copy/paste for adding many text lines of the same size and shape again and again instead of creating each one each time.
2018-06-09
Helpful, does what I need to do. The only reason I gave it four stars is because you can't see the comments unless you are online and sometimes I am traveling to places without wifi access so it would be nice to view my downloaded documents and see the comments I attached to them.

Amazed at the accessibility and ease of use! Thank you for the free trial. Having the free trial gives me a chance to determine if this is something I can utilize on a regular basis before expending the cost. Thank you.
