Would like to have available stand-by the form I am working on. Have to use the same for different companies and each time I start a new one, have to go back and search for it.

easy to use convenient. Except unable to load it on my Surface pro 3. Help with this would be great. I have to access through the intranet only. No app

I like the program a lot. You recently changed the format a little. When I want to save a document to my computer, I can't tell it where to save it; it automatically saves it to my downloads, which I do not like. Before you changed the format, I was able to save a PDF completed document to whatever file I needed to on my computer. I would like to be able to do that again.

I had issues at first as connections failed and I lost my documents that I had updated which took me a long time to do. I have had another go and it has worked a lot better.

It is super easy to use and most…
It is super easy to use and most importantly, financially accessible. I hope your features only improve, if not remain stagnant. I love you.

Great customer service, helped me figure out how to change the e-mail on my account, without having to get a new subscription...I was confused.
Thanks for the help!

Chatted online to cancel and refund $96 that I was charged and I got a pretty friendly guy named Peter! He was sweet and fast! If I needed this particular application again, I would definitely reuse them!!!
2020-05-03
Fast and effective response
When I contacted them through their Chat feature my problem was resolved there and then. Instant response, and then follow up emails to make sure everything was ok. This is how customer service should work but so often doesn't.
