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?

I use SignNow. Easy to use and it's free.

Kyle J., thanks for your response. SignNow was one of the first apps I started using. As much as I liked it, the free version limited me to signing 5 contracts a month. This is just not enough for my business.

After searching in the app store I found an app called HelloSign that you might want to check out.

HelloSign is a great product but my experience has been using it to put my signature on a document. After some searching I see there are other apps that "collect signatures" and let another person sign.

I use the HelloSign app on my 'phablet' and it works for me but I am not needing other parties to sign, just my signature.

Good info...wondering if there are any new opinions...

I'm getting quite active with offers for me personally trying to acquire (not clients) and I need to go paperless. I spend too much time printing and scanning

As it's just my signature and the doc won't need to be passed around what's the best suggestion app wise to use on an iPad that I can submit RE contracts and sign off on disclosures? I was thinking a PDF editor might work for me

I don't mind paying for things that give great value. I want the companies providing the software and services I depend on to stay in business.
