Apps to sign contracts using an iPad

[Chris Weiler]

So I have been testing out a few different apps to sign contracts using the iPad. I love that I can sign docs and immediately email back without having to print out the document, sign it and scan/fax back. My favorite app so far is “DocuSign Ink”. I find most of the digital ink apps get the job done but usually charge you after a few uses. DocuSign is the only one I have found that stays free and does not bug you to upgrade. It's really easy to use and ideal for signing real estate contracts as well as initials, check boxes, rotating pages and entering text. My second favorite was “SignEasy”. I really like how it saves frequently used text which is a feature missing from DocuSign. But, after a few uses SignEasy makes you upgrade to a $20 a year plan in order to continue use. Has anyone else found a free digital ink app they are happy with? Are you using a tablet to sign docs?
