I love it, just wished i could have paid a discounted price by the month. I am just a volunteer minister who volunteers helping disable vets. Meaning I get no paid, but I really like and need the filler.

this is the only application that I can fill in the Appraisal forms on my Mac Pro. the other softwares are just for Windows based programs. This does what the others do for less than half the cost.

Functionality. But some links could be more clearer. For example, how to delete an entire line from a pdf? I figured it out but took some trial and error.

Extremely user friendly and extremely helpful. Especially when there isn't a printer and scanner handy and you're in a hurry to fill out a form.

Love it!
Very easy to use and comes in handy at the most inconvenient of times. When I'm out and busy, I can get documents filled out fast and easy on my phone.

I wish after doing a merge
I wish after doing a merge, it would give me the option to save it only in the main documents page, rather than having to download it.
2021-06-24
As good as DocuSign
Allows you to create pdfs that with blanks in order to easily fill out.
There are no free versions, so you pretty much just hope that a business has taken the proper steps to acquire this and utilize it.
