Would be amazing if it had a free option for students. Could also benefit from offering different single line - shapes such as circles and squares etc

This is the greatest software for online documents I love that this software has been created. It's amazing when you need to do paperwork for something and can do it through email. It's such a hassle trying to complete certain documents and get them where they need to go if you don't have access to doing them via online I have no negative comments about this software
