An outstanding value for money. Starting at just $8 per month, signNow gets you a professional eSignature kit for mobile devices that is packed with premium features other signing apps are missing or offer at a higher price.

The 256-bit encryption ensures your data is protected in transit and at rest. What’s more, signNow is compliant with the GDPR, HIPAA, SOC II Type 2, PCI DSS, 21 CFR Part 11, and other standards.

Ease of use. Users on Google Play continuously praise the signNow app for its straightforward drag and drop interface that allows you to quickly make edits to documents and send them for eSignature with just a few taps on your smartphone screen.

Seamless user experience across the mobile and web apps. Whenever you are at your computer, you can enjoy the desktop version of signNow. Both the desktop and mobile apps automatically sync with each other, so you can work on your documents, templates, and eSignature invites anytime on either device.

After the trial period, however, you will need to choose one of the four subscription plans ranging from $8 to $50 per month.

How to send a document for eSignature with signNow for Android?

1. Get started

Go to Google Play and install signNow on your Android device. Open the app and create your account by entering your email address and password. You can also log in using your Google or Facebook account. If you used the signNow web app before, use your account credentials to log in.

2. Upload documents

If you’ve previously used signNow on desktop, you will find all the documents you worked on in the mobile app. But if you have never used signNow before, you can easily upload your documents by tapping the plus icon in the bottom right corner of the app’s home screen. 

Then, select one of the upload options:

• Sample Document: Generate a document sample you can use to test various signNow features.
• Load from Device: Upload a document from your mobile device. You can upload PDF, Word, PNG, PPT, or text files.
• Gallery: Upload an image from your gallery.
• Load from Cloud: Upload a document from your cloud storage (signNow is compatible with Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, Egnyte, and Salesforce).
• Camera: Use your device’s camera to take a photo of a document. Once taken, the image will be instantly uploaded to signNow.
• Create Folder: Generate an empty folder in your signNow account.
• Make template: Turn any document on the app’s home screen into a reusable template.

Once your document has been uploaded, it will appear in your Documents folder. You can upload multiple documents at a time.

3. Add fillable fields to a document

Tap on a document you’ve just uploaded and select Open in Editor. 

Add fields for your recipient to complete by accessing the Fields tab. Select the type of field you want to add and tap anywhere on your document for it to appear.

Note: To change the size of a fillable field, tap it and select Resize. Then, use the sliders at the bottom of the screen to adjust the size. You can also move fields by dragging them with your finger.

4. Add your eSignature or data to a document

Open the Tools tab and select Signature. Then, tap on the document where you want your signature to be placed. If this is the first time you are eSigning a document with signNow, you will be asked to create your eSignature first. 

Add other elements such as date or text to your document if needed. You can adjust the size and position of your data boxes (including signatures) the same way you do with fillable fields.

5. Send a document for signing

When you’ve finished editing your document, tap on the checkmark icon in the top right corner and select Invite to Sign. Enter your recipient’s email address and configure signer notifications by tapping on the gear icon. Finally, hit the Send button.

That’s it. Your document has been successfully sent for eSignature. Your recipient will find your signature request in their inbox. Meanwhile, you can track the status of your documents from the signNow home screen.

What is Kiosk Mode and how to use it?

Kiosk Mode is an exclusive feature only available in the signNow mobile app. It allows you to collect signatures in person at events or front desks using a tablet or smartphone. A new document copy is automatically generated from the selected template for every new signer. Thus, the signing process is very similar to signing a physical document.

To access Kiosk Mode, tap the hamburger menu in the top left corner of the home screen and select Kiosk Mode.

Then, choose the template that will be used to automatically generate document copies for eSignature. 

Create a four-digit code to prevent signers from exiting Kiosk Mode and accessing other documents on your device.

Customize your welcome and thank you messages and tap the Begin Kiosk Mode button.

You will enter Kiosk Mode, and your document will appear on the screen. Hand your device over to a signer so they can read the document and sign it by using the touch screen.
