- Simplicity to create your own forms - Customization open to get the best forms possible

- cannot remember as some items have been fixed with each update to serve our need

No pros were added to this review

No cons were added to this review

It does what it says and paperless documentation has streamlined our process

The learning curves to build new forms.

I like the ease of building applications that I can monitor, share and assign to fellow employees

I wish there was a search function where I can have a spreadsheet of information and in the application I could search the spreadsheet and find the information that I am looking for.

The online forms are easy to setup and customize as per individual requirements. Integrates very well with smart phones, we have tested in android phones. No training required for new users as it pretty much self explanatory.

Downloading forms in pdf can be a pain as you have to do it individually. Could improve data download options especially saving forms in bulk.

It is easy to design an app and it was very intuitive for our crew to figure out how to use it. The ability to take pictures in the form really improved out accuracy and error finding. The fact that everything was stored in the cloud really improved our record keeping ability.

The price isn't really worth it for the functionality that we use. We pay for things that we do not use.

I think GoCanvas is great if you're looking for something simple to fill out for your forms. With electronic signatures and custom PDFs, you can easily take info from any source you want.

The fields can get a bit too simplistic. If there's more detail I'd like to add, then I'd have to capture it on separate forms (i.e. using Google Forms instead) for nested questions.

I had checked out Gocanvas-mobile Forms and i have to admit that it's ease of use if very brillaint even a non-technical person can gain a loot from it.

I had chk it but i don't came across any cons that should be mention here but their support team is a bit lazy i say.

User friendly, easy to navigate, very easy to update forms.

I'd like the grid function/view to be more easy to add to a form.

I like that I can modify my forms any time and it's super easy! I use this program every day. I have many other forms I will be converting to GoCanvas.

The data entry is not compact enough on the screen. I wish it was not so spread out. This is not a dal breaker by any means. Just a little tweak.

With GoCanvas we have been more than surprised with their great customer service. Every staff member we have worked with has been able see our vision as a company and help reach our goals going forward.

The part I would say we like the least is just the overall workload and time it takes to set all these forms up. However, they do offer assistance in creating forms for you which is a great alternative.

turning key paper forms into digital applications. speeding up the return

Converting apps to PDF so they looked better when printed was a pain at first. although the support from Go Canvas was great to guide us through

This app is very easy to use in sending my customers online forms rather than paper forms which can take up space and time filling them out. It is very easy to complete a form online rather than on paper with a pen.

Some forms do not open correctly which is embarrassing when the client informs you of this.

Easy to use way to effectively gather field information

Working with any database can have its issues. Uploading our forms using wireless data can be an issue.

The fact that all of forms are in one place, and supervisors can fill forms out on their smart devices in the field and send all at one time. This not only saves time but money as well.

Not sure, but understanding all functions while building apps sometimes is a little hard. But nothing trial and error won't fix.

The ease of creating forms and end user experience has made rolling out the software , well, easy. The departments are in charge of their own forms and any changes which avoids delays they would otherwise experience contacting IT.

Currently, there is not the ability to attach documents to the form. We have the need to include official documents to some of the forms that have been created. We are working around that by taking a photo which works in some cases.

I like the fact that I can customize the forms to my personal needs

Been a user for quite some time now- over 5 years, at the beginning the apps were a little difficult to make, I spent many hours getting my APP to where it is today (Version 58) the newer app builder is much, much better than previous versions.

The ease in which a form can be created and deployed to users. I also like the ability to export the data in order to perform analysis.

Unable to attach additional files to the form. There are reports that are not static that I would like to be able to have saved and added to the form prior to submission

The Mobile, PDF Design and the BarCode scanning.

That it doesn’t connect directly with OneDrive or Microsoft Teams And that you can not group your forms into categories.

The ease of creation of the forms and the ability to easily edit the forms as many times as needed and then the preview ability to really let you see how it works before trying to implement it. Great for capturing signatures as well.

A little bit of a learning curve on how different fields work and how best to set up the PDF so that the form is legible after filled out.

Functionality on smartphones. Ease of use to create customized forms. Ability to customize what the recipient sees.

Price has gone up significantly in the last few years. It can do a lot but is sometimes slow to load.

I like this as you can build forms that customers can fill in on mobile, avoiding all the hassle that comes from giving customers paper forms. The forms are very flexible. You can even put in numerical fields which will automatically produce calculations, multiple choice sections or even a section for signatures! It's very easy to make. You just drag and drop. There are even templates for commons situations which streamline the process further.

It's fast and easy to use, so there is nothing to complain about. When you first use it, it has too many helpful boxes that guide you on what to do (which is a little annoying) but they disappear after first use.

forms available to staff on galaxy pad and can be filled out after an incident quickly. Also no stacks of incident forms on my desk. Awesome. Able to set up test runs while rest of staff learned the system and still be able to group rates if we wish.

A bit expensive for small department with many users. otherwise happy. The system seems to be easy to use, no issue there.

App building is very easy to use and has a lot of functionality. Cloud storage and emailing of forms is part of the reason we decided to try this app builder. Covers most basic app options you could want and the PDF designer for forms is an added bonus.

I would like more editing capabilities with colors on the fields or even different font types. I did post this to their community board and they were very responsive to follow up and consider the enhancements.

Very smart forms with the ability to use reference data. By far the easiest to use and build with.

Would like the price to be a little less
