  1. [R8] Signeasy 5/5 · US Better and more cost effective: I had some issues with Docusign after having used them for years. They seemed unwilling to provide a satisfactory solution to the problem so I went searching for another platform. I’m glad I came across SignEasy… it has been great! Simple to use either from the phone or laptop, and more cost friendly than the other place.
  2. [R11] Signeasy 5/5 · US Easy says it all: Great application for those on the go and can't be tied to a laptop with adobe pro. This makes signing and going fun and easy. Saves time and printing hard copies. Great for every office or professional that isn't looking to burn up your last bit of toner on a doc to sign, scan and email back.
  3. [R12] Signeasy 3/5 · US Doesn’t work with yahoo emails: We purchased this for use with our company. It works very well but will not work with a yahoo email address. The recipient never receives it. If it would work, this would be 5 stars

  12. [R6] Signeasy 3/5 · US I would have given this 5 stars, but pretty upset about shady upgrade tactics!: I have been using this service for several years now. While I’ve have limited issues minus a few issues when they have rolled out new updates over the years it’s been pretty good overall. They recently asked if I would like to upgrade from my monthly package I’ve had for years to a year subscription. I agreed and paid
  13. [R7] Signeasy 1/5 · US Poor support: No support. Have a plan. No access.
  14. [R31] Signeasy 1/5 · US DO NOT PURCHASE WILL NOT LET YOU CANCEL: I have used sign easy for years and was always very pleased with their app…until it became time to cancel. They keep telling me that I need to cancel through the Apple Store and Apple says that they do not show the purchase and that Sign Easy needs to cancel. Now they tell me to stop payment from my bank which costs money. They really think that people w

  20. [R57] Signeasy 2/5 · US Cancel Sunscription: Sign easy was easy to use however, when you are ready to cancel your subscription, it’s mission impossible. There’s no link or pathway to cancel your subscription.
  21. [R72] Scanner App 3/5 · US Outdated UX: Overall I find the export workflow confusing and wish I could designate a local path as the default location for scans to go. I would like to integrate with my Nextcloud instance but that is not easy. I also don’t appreciate that there’s an “ultra” tier of subscription with supposedly more sync options gated behind that, when I already paid for the app a decade ago. Edit: developer r
  22. [R101] Scanner App 1/5 · GB Ultimate version defect: For iOS 15.8.7 for which the Ultimate version does download, the character recognition does not work. The very same OCR did function before in the mere Plus version, for which I have already paid for a life licence (including its full initial functionality). Reluctantly, understanding that maybe the developers need to make a living, and that their initial business plan was
  23. [R113] Scanner App 1/5 · GB Being forced to pay more🤬: I paid for the life time plus account but with the ultra update there is additional subscription model. It wouldn’t have upset me if it hadn’t let me down on the day when I actually needed to scan and send some documents. I feel very let down after paying for the previously full package. Poor service in a bid to expand. Now I’m hoping Apple will bring in the features to
  24. [R115] Scanner App 2/5 · GB Been using this for years on Pro until…: Today when I’ve tried to do my daily accounting and bookkeeping to be welcomed with an error loop saying I’ve an expired licence key. I’ve paid for the upgrade previously when there was three upgrade options and since they’ve downgraded it to standard or Ultra I can no longer add any new documents to my scans. Up until this point it’s been working flawlessl
  25. [R81] Scanner App 3/5 · GB Issues when upgrading: I have been a long term user of Genius Scan and previously would never have considered giving a low rating. However, upgrading to a new iPhone and backing up from iCloud without a paid subscription has lost all my documents built up over many years. I have received polite and friendly help from customer services and although Genius Scan was part of my iCloud back up it is
  26. [R85] Scanner App 1/5 · US Scans are not backed up: I used to love this app, but then I lost my phone and I lost all my scans. I realized to my chagrin that they were not stored on iCloud backup. I saw that Genius Scan sells a feature to back up your scans, but I wasn’t fully confident with the security provided by an app company like this. I would much prefer backups on iCloud. I just found another scanner app that use
