Today was my 1st time using Docusign. I was so impressed by the simplicity & speed. My task was done just about instantly AND there was no searching for instructions on how to use as the Prompts directed me with no delay. Plus, my signed document was available for sharing & saving immediately. I was even given the opportunity to Rename the Document, allowing me to distinguish between the Original (Unsigned Document) and the Newly Signed Document - this will make findingboth of these later on when I need to submit one or the other to someone - years from now, with little to no effort. Honestly, from start to finish in less than 5 minutes and all on my 5” x 2.5” Smart Phone - NO NEED to even turn on my computer. Amazing!! I recommend Docusign to anyone who needs this service at anytime! And a BIG Thank You to the Docusign Creators for making this process so simple & fast for me.

I believe that the 1 star rating speaks volumes. However, let me explain… I decided I would like to try again and download this app and give it a shot and then I realized after I tried logging into my account, which I needed to reset my password and then the nightmare began. Simple enough to change my password right? No. I have a fairly large vocabulary and due to my past experiences in the English language and following directions my expectations are relatively high for completing simple tasks without any difficulty whatsoever until this point in time. I encountered a nightmare loop in signing in. My suggestion is that the feedback officer should have a meeting with the technical support officer and FIX THIS TIME CONSUMING BLACK HOLE for this app. It’s never ending to keep getting codes and completing the setup for a new password. No matter how many codes I received it never allows for the task to be completed. Do you need to create a link for mobile phones? Certainly that’s been done in advance of launching your app. And yes… I actually read everything on the page that would allow me to access your product. Needless to say, I find myself communicating via feedback instead of actually being able to call tech support or anyone else at your company because you have no contact information in the event that your customer is able to convey their concerns about the problem.

Business partner sent me document to sign. No matter what I did I could not change the signature “you” created. Probably because I’ve used this method before. This however was for my business so I need to write/sign my entire title. This application will not allow me to add “Dr.” before my name or “DVM” after my name. So I created my own account, with my app and my correct signature. Even after reviewing help and support. I am still not able to import their document and sign it. The app instructions say: open email to import; open the file and select share (THIS IS NOT AN OPTION!!!!!). I’ve tried everything. I feel strongly that the words you have chosen are incorrect, and someone my age can’t make the jump to their exact meaning. For example if I were ordering food and I wanted extra toppings, but the app only offered cherry as the topping and I don’t want cherry, it doesn’t tell me how to add pineapple instead. You might say, just select add topping, select cherry then once you’re in you can change to pineapple. But that’s not what you instructed! I’m excellent at following instructions, and have written manuals full of precise instructions on how to complete tasks. My advice to you is give your instructions to several people not in the business sector of all different ages and see where your instructions fall short.

UPDATE: I received a reply from development. That’s a good sign. I am updating to four stars. It could benefit from a freehand option and a snail mail field. There is no multiple signer option when they’re all in the same room. Those would make a five star app. I am testing DocuSign as an alternative to SignEasy, which I have used for years. There is no freehand option on DocuSign. When DocuSign works, it works well. However, the real problem began when I received an email with a pdf, and DocuSign failed to import it. When I contacted support it took an hour for them to tell me that that’s not how the app works (incorrect). If I had not been able to use SignEasy to sign the PDF, it would have been a serious problem for me. I need to be able to rely on a signing platform, and so far I can’t rely on DocuSign or SignEasy. This review seems to be the only way to alert DocuSign to the problem, as support was a waste of time.

You would think after years and years DocuSign would get its act together and bring forward a fully functional document management platform that works anywhere and everywhere. Yet, DocuSign still fails miserably in doing so. Do you need to update, strike, add to a document? Well, unless you are on an PC (how 90’s) you cannot do any of that. I am on a brand new M1 iPad Pro trying to make updates to a contract, and this app just cannot get it done. Let’s switch to any of the major mobile browsers (Chrome, Safari, or Firefox) on my M1 IPad Pro, nope still just can’t make those changes. I have to wait until I am back at the office and at my desk at my PC (how 90’s, yes I know that’s the second time I have written that) to make any of the needed changes to the document. Here’s the hilarious part, DotLoop has been able to do all of this, out of the box, for years. DocuSign when will you get it together? Stop messing around with your logo, and make the needed changes in the DNA of your system so it is response on all platforms or just sell the company and go find something else to make a mess of.

This used to be my preferred electronic signing app. Now, not so much. App insists that I’m on “a new device” every time I try to use my phone to try to DocuSign anything, and insists on sending a verification code—to the same phone I’ve had for several years now. I haven’t changed phones. No new devices. Then there’s the issue of my name. Fought with the app for several minutes, trying to get it to let me use text to add my full name. It insisted on using my middle name as my last, first and middle names. Finally managed to get it to allow me to add , last, first, middle. Doesn’t allow me to tap where I want to write or sign. I have to tap, say, “text” and then that appears somewhere and I have to drag it where I want it. Very tiny and hard to enlarge the box without it closing and I have to start over. Difficult to add checkboxes. App kept telling me I had to “move the page up.” From now on, unless this is fixed, I’m only going to use this app if forced to do so. Sorry. It used to be a five star app.

Somehow the check marks never show up on the final copy, you CANNOT write anything in a text box, and everything is very hard to place. It would be worth it to be able to do at all on the road, if only they could fix these glitches!I’ve also had glitches keep occurring where my signer cannot “finish” the document; it just keeps cycling back to the same pages over and over again. I’ve been on the phone with customer support several times, and no one seems to know why this is happening, in fact they implied it was my fault somehow, but have no suggestions for a way to fix it. After having this problem multiple times with multiple customers, I am sadly going to have to find another service, since you don’t seem to have a fix for it and it is seriously impacting my business!

As A Realtor with Keller Williams. This software is our default software. So when providing contracts for clients we have the tedious challenge of filling in templates. Some templates. Very well, others like sellers disclosure templates are ridiculously difficult to do. Because there’s probably 60 or more boxes that the client has the choice of checking. As the realtor we have to put the check boxes there for them to check. One simple update which could improve the usability. Is you did not have to go back to the menu to retrieve another checkbox or any other duplicate action. This would save so much time, having the option to just click click click click. That would be a mild positive update. Now if they came up with a way to auto populate vital information from whether the MLS or other sources would be extremely helpful.

Unfortunately, the app lacks the most essential function you expect from DocuSign; secure digital signatures. Unlike the robust web based version, your signatures will not include the DocuSign box around them or a unique identifier below the signature or on the header/footer of the page. This functionality is the foundation of DocuSign as it provides 1.) transparency that its a digital signature and 2.) the ability to confirm/trace the authenticity of the signature through the unique identifier. Instead, the app falls far short of its mission in only offering a basic signature; something that can be done for free through many other apps/software/websites. Customer service confirmed the app doesn’t have this functionality and directed me to use the website. When you pay hundreds to thousands of dollars per year in fees for your organization to use a secure digital signature solution, you expect the core functions to also be present in the mobile app.

I received a document to sign using Docusign. I followed the instructions, although very few were provided. After signing, I hit Next at the top of the page — and hit Next at the top of the next page over and over (it was only a 3 page docuent!) until I gave up. Then I found the menu but there was no option to finish. The first option on the list was to Finish and Sign Later. After selecting that option, I thought maybe it didn’t work was because I had not downloaded the app, although I had not been told to do so and, upon finding the app and reading information, I learned that it should not be necessary to download and install the app if trying to sign something sent to me. Nevertheless I downloaded the app and tried again — with the same results. Needless to say, I do not plan to purchase this app. I also told the sender of my problems and was told they would send a printed document in the mail — and I was told they had also had problems. Piece of junk!
