Just downloaded the software for a rush application. Works great. Much better than some I've tried. Very low learning curve. I was finished with with a four page job application in less than 30 minutes. Now that I have learned the simple controls I can do it in 10.

Takes a little getting used to and is… Takes a little getting used to and is easier to use on a laptop than on an android. Otherwise great features.

Saves so much time I like this software because it is so easy to use. It saved me time and allowed me to quickly complete the necessary document The only con I have with this software was that when printed it did not print all of the words typed in

I've only just started using it, but so far; I am loving it. It's easy to use, and very useful with my work. I'm an RN and I work as an independent nurse, so having this program is so nice for my plans of care, and sending them to the physician to get signed is easy peasy! Thank you.
