I like the online webpage. However, I have trouble using the app. It doesn't have my saved signatures and it won't link to my OneDrive (Office 365) properly.

I have enjoyed my experience with PDFFiller, the price was reasonable, and I have gotten every feature that I need and expected. It's truly a great service.

Mostly user friendly. Filling in multiple of the same form is not available, or finding that option is impossible. So I used same form over and over - using tab you also have to back space or use mouse to remove previous data and then fill in.
2018-09-01
Easy to use. Lots of Features. Need to pay a few more dollars to use everything, but great value if you need to combine different documents to create one.
