Wish there was a way to make all fields NOT-required, and add the required feature to the one I want, rather than undoing. Also, wish there was a way for the app to add fields where they seem to belong.

Easy Forms It has been good, but the saving of the files is not that easy, have to upload document every time you want a new copy. The easiness to write pdf's and print them out. The documents are not categorized and it would make it easier to find.
