Today there are applications for practically everything and many of them, fortunately for us, are intended to make our day-to-day life easier. This is the case, for example, of those that allow us to sign a document from our mobile quickly and easily, and without the need to print it.

If the fax first and then the scanner did away with the need to physically meet to sign an agreement, now thanks to our mobile devices, we don't even have to print a piece of paper. And we are not talking about the option that Apple offers in its own operating system, but about the different third-party applications that you can find on Google Play and the App Store. Let's review some of them.

Sign Easy

This app offers self-signing, in-person signing, and remote signing options; that is, on the one hand, it allows you to sign, fill in and send any document format (PDF, Word, Excel, text, Pages, JPG, PNG, etc.), on the other hand, you can have someone sign on your mobile, and Finally, it is possible to send documents to others for them to sign. It also allows you to add an image as a signature in case you have scanned your real signature on paper.

The SignEasy app saves our documents to popular cloud services (such as Dropbox, Box, or Evernote) for easy file import, saving, and access from multiple devices. Employs SSL encryption to protect documents sent and stored.

SignEasy has a one-week free trial, but after that you need to pay for a monthly/annual subscription or "signature package" to continue taking advantage of its features.

docusign

Several million users support the usefulness of this app with which you can not only complete and sign documents, but also tell a person to sign a document for you immediately with their finger on the screen of your device or send it by email so that do it remotely.

DocuSign supports PDF, Word, Excel, images (JPEG, PNG, TIFF), etc., and allows you to store documents in the cloud on services such as Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, Evernote and Salesforce to access them from anywhere. For added security, it employs encryption and offers custom privacy settings.

There is a free version of DocuSign that includes unlimited signatures, but there are also several premium plans available that offer more features and document delivery.

SIGNificant E-Signing Client

It allows you to complete and sign PDF documents with the possibility of adding attachments (such as passport or driving license photo) without difficulty. It also supports sending documents via email and cloud storage.

An Internet connection is required to upload a document to SIGNificant, but once it has been uploaded to the application, it is possible to work with it and the form templates completely offline. In addition, its developers claim that this app is capable of registering a person's signature using all available parameters (such as acceleration, speed and rhythm) to analyze their biometric characteristics in the event of a legal dispute.

There is a free version of the application that allows you to enjoy the basic functions, but to take advantage of all its possibilities, a monthly subscription is required.

Adobe Fill & Sign

Adobe's proposal, in addition to supporting PDF forms, also allows us to photograph a sheet of paper to convert it into a digital document and, from there, we have the possibility to fill it out and send it by email and/or save it in the cloud.

In the section that interests us, it offers the option of signing with our finger or with an electronic pen and applying our initials to the documents. It is one of the simplest, although it is also the one with the fewest options, but of course, it is completely free and does not require a subscription.

SignNow - Sign and Fill docs

This tool allows you to upload an image or Word document (from email, Dropbox or by photographing it with your mobile camera) and automatically converts it into a PDF file to fill it in by adding text, date and signature using your finger.

Like most proposals, it supports cloud storage and sending documents for someone else to sign. In the latter case, it is possible to track and receive a notification when it is already signed. Its developer claims that security is guaranteed thanks to bank-grade encryption.

The free version offers the basic functions and allows the signing of a limited number of documents per month. If you want to access more features or sign more documents, a paid subscription is required.
