Pros and cons of Autograph app for iPhone and iPad

Autograph app good for

I have been waiting for such an app for a really long time. This is an original piece of work and is so useful! Although it says you need a Wi-Fi connection, you can use it also when youre wired to the Mac (which is great of course when youre not home). It works very well. I believe its the only electronic signature pad compatible with the Mac and you saved me tons of money! Thanks! I noticed only a minor problem when using it with Acrobat, but its either me or Im confident it will soon be corrected. Even though, no doubt, I am giving you 5 stars! Congratulations!
I had no trouble using this app., straight away. iPad really needed something like this. The only drawback Ive found, so far, is some sort of built-in stroke number limit. Its as though there is the presumption it will only be used for cursive. When I try to write my name in Japanese (or any other words in Japanese), for example, I quickly reach a point where the app. automatically clears the screen. But for a straight-forward cursive signature, this app. does the job and then some.
This was all I needed to get a contract signed and off in 5 mins.

Some bad moments

Looks great in the sample and also when you sign love the look of the signature very real but when you save it the sane is just a black photo in your library Till update I would save you time and data
When the signature is saved to the photo album it shows up blank when u go to view it, will this issue be resolved
Add the ability to resize signature and that would be awesome! A lot better than Mail Sign, except for the resizing part. Also, you dont need a computer or wifi to do this. I could email a signature or save it to my photo library without one.
Great concept but needs serious upgrades for the $3.99 price. Worked on a Word Doc... However a PDF produced a black rectangle box on MacBook Pro... Needs resize features and would be nice if the signature was placed on a transparent paragraph... Overall... Dissapointed to pay this much for a lacking app.
Its not currently worth 4 dollars. It needs the ability to type an agreement above the line. You have to go though a lot of menus just to change the color/pen size. It crashed the iPad once. And it is very hard to print a name below the line. It tends to erase the lines at random moments. I think the "double-tap" to erase feature should be removed or improved. I hope you make a lot of improvements. This could be VERY useful.
This program works great!!! No questions this will allow my business to go completely paperless now.
