Features
Legally-binding eSignature
Signatures can be typed, drawn, or uploaded as an image on a desktop computer or mobile device, producing a legally-binding electronic signature.
Conditional workflows
Documents are organized in groups and automatically routed to recipients in a role-based order.
Fast document sharing
Documents are shared with multiple recipients through a link, which removes the need to add each recipient's email address.
Reusable templates
Unlimited templates of frequently used documents can be created, with customizable fillable fields added to make them easier to complete.
Custom branding
A company logo can be added to every eSignature invite that is sent out, giving outgoing documents a consistent branded appearance.
What users say
Pros
- Documents can be filled out and signed directly on a mobile phone, returning a finished PDF upon completion.
- Signed documents stay stored in the app and can be exported to cloud storage or downloaded.
- Form filling is guided step by step, so nothing gets missed during signing.
- Consent forms completed before surgery cut paper waste and speed up clinic check-in.
Cons
- Bulk sends stall when recipients skip an optional hyperlink field, leaving paid documents stuck without a second signature.
- A paid account lost premium features after an email change, and seven contact attempts drew only automated replies.
- Renewal costs climb sharply, with annual quotes far above the original subscription rate.
- Building and editing templates on a mobile device is cumbersome.
- Signed documents are sometimes hard to find in the account afterwards.
- Forms sometimes fail to complete or require selecting every option, including mutually conflicting ones.
