I was surprised that after Googling the form I needed and completing it thinking it was a govt web site that I had to pay to print the form. Your on-line Chat person gave me 30 days free which has restored my faith in your company.

I am so happy I came across this app. Naturally I don't own a typewriter anymore and I do like to type forms instead of printing. So far, wonderful!

Great Service - Great Support Team I used this service just once, but it was very easy to navigate the site and all of its capabilities. I thought I had canceled my subscription after I was done and forgot about it until I was charged the full annual fee. I reached out to them to see if I was eligible for a refund since I had not logged into my account in 29 days. They agreed to refund the charge and were very timely about it! I will use this service again if I ever need it again.

"Dee" from live support was awesome! I was really worried because I made a couple mistakes and had some questions and "Dee" from the live support chat answered all my questions. Dee was professional, quick, and reliable. Please hire more people like Dee. Thank you for your time.
