Why BoldSign® mobile app?
The BoldSign® mobile app is the perfect choice for managing eSignature tasks on the go. Whether you’re sending a document for signing or completing a signature request, the app ensures your eSignature workflow remains fast, simple, and efficient—anytime, anywhere.
This mobile app perfectly complements our web application, allowing you to upload documents (PDF, Word, Excel, and images are supported), configure signature and data collection form fields in them, and then send those documents for filling and signing. The form-field editor provides a best-in-class experience, empowering you to configure even the most complex documents on mobile devices.
It has a user-friendly interface designed for simplicity and ease of use, making it easy to integrate into your signing workflows, even for first-time users. Instead of just scaling the interface across different devices, we have developed custom layouts optimized specifically for both mobile and tablet views, ensuring a smooth experience on any screen size.
