Fast and Easy: Sign-n-Send Review
Posted on January 12, 2016 by“Every thought you produce, anything you say, any action you do, it bears your signature ~ Nhat Hanh
The Sign-n-Send app for my iPad and iPhone is a really handy tool for my everyday use. I find it very convenient to send documents via email, but sometimes it’s hard to put your signature on there without being on a desktop. It is very intuitive, just tap and hold to open the pdf and edit.
For a long time I struggled with signing pdfs on my phone. I tried taking a photo and writing over it, an electronic stamp, other apps as well, and none are as fast and simple as Sign-n-Send. If you have an email with a pdf attached, just tap and hold the attachment, and a window will show you a few options. You will want to select ‘open in’ and then select ‘sign-n-send’. From there the app is very easy to navigate.
The user will always go through another application to get to this app. Mostly through your mail app or a messaging app. When you tap and hold the pdf to open, it does take a few seconds to open. Once it is open, use one finger to draw on the page, but pinch with two fingers to zoom in and out. If you have a screen protector, better to put down the stylus and use your finger for the signature line.
When you are satisfied with it, you can send within the app or save the document. It can be a little jumpy, but I got used to it. I find it hard to live without it now. It is such a lifesaver in certain situations with tight deadlines. It is instant, and you can also print from this application too.
I do find that this could have better resolution. When you zoom in too far it seems to get pixelated. For other users on an Android or an older iPhone, it may not be a big deal. But it is clearly not optimized for the iPhone retina display.
Sign-n-send app is ready for you right now in the iTunes App Store for $2 or for free. They are both basically the same, except the free version inserts an ad on the first page of every generated PDF. These hybrid apps work natively for iPhone/iPod touch and iPad.
