  1. [R2] Signeasy 5/5 · US Easy signage‘: Uh-Oh-Slates on the board now
  2. [R5] Signeasy 4/5 · US Works!!!: Definitely a game changer!!!
  3. [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.
  4. [R16] Signeasy 1/5 · US Very cumbersome to use: It is not an easy app - not intuitive. I don’t use it often, and every time have to spend lots of time trying to figure out how it works. Font editing / sizing your printed name and signature is not automatically adjusted to the font of the document itself. You have to “eye” it to fit on. Terrible app. Will be deleting and look for something more user friendly
  5. [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
  6. [R28] Signeasy 5/5 · US Amazing: The simplicity of use makes this app the best of them out there. Integrates perfectly with ios and allows me to sign/date and add text anywhere I want. Highly recommend!!
  7. [R37] Signeasy 2/5 · US Disappointed.: It lacked a standard template with public link feature set.
  8. [R3] Signeasy 3/5 · US Used to work flawlessly: When you really need to sign a document, it needs to work. An app like this needs to work 100% all the time. It used to, but not today…
  9. [R14] Signeasy 5/5 · US It works fine for me: 👍
  10. [R26] Signeasy 5/5 · US I pay ans can not sing: Not working
  11. [R1] Signeasy 1/5 · US It showed a seven-day trial, but I was charged maliciously.: It showed a seven-day trial, but I was charged maliciously.
  12. [R4] Signeasy 1/5 · US PAYWALLED: EVERYTHING BEHIND A PAYWALL, EVEN THE SIMPLEST FEATURES THAT EVERY OTHER APP HAS FOR FREE
  13. [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.
  14. [R13] Signeasy 2/5 · US They should have a one time use option: Even if it’s one dollar per signature or something as I don’t need it that much it requires you to need to pay to do anything
  15. [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
  16. [R7] Signeasy 1/5 · US Poor support: No support. Have a plan. No access.
  17. [R10] Signeasy 1/5 · US Canceling Subscription: Cancel subscription is elusive
  18. [R21] Signeasy 1/5 · US Said free trail and tried to charge me immediately not seven days from now: Scam !
  19. [R58] Signeasy 5/5 · US Love it: Super convenient and easy to use!
  20. [R35] Signeasy 1/5 · US Customer Service Doesn’t Respond: I am disappointed because customer service has not responded to me and it has been over a week. Very very disappointing
  21. [R51] Signeasy 1/5 · US App became unusable and customer service is TERRIBLE: I was a long time user of the Sign Easy app but the app became unusable when you could no longer upload documents from Google Docs. My company could no longer use the app because of this and it took them months to correct the problem. We had to move on to a new app because we could not just wait for them to figure this out. They are now holding
  22. [R59] Signeasy 1/5 · US Signeasy is scammer: No communication, I had to file with BBB. Constantly taking money for subscriptions with no reason, they weren’t always like this but it seems they got bought out by scammers.
