SAN FRANCISCO--()--DocuSign, The Global Standard for eSignature®, announced a new version of DocuSign Ink for Android to help consumers and businesses eliminate the hassles, costs, and lack of security in printing, faxing, scanning, and overnighting documents for signature. Built on the world’s most trusted eSignature network of more than 35 million users, DocuSign Ink downloads grew at 175% as compared to the average growth in U.S. app downloads at 62% (according to Distimo Analytics).

“The dramatic growth in DocuSign Ink downloads is another sign that electronic signatures are a mobile must have,” said Robin Ducot, vice president of product development, DocuSign. “What once may have been a nice to have is now indispensible to busy, on-the-go consumers and professionals simplifying their lives with mobile apps like DocuSign Ink. DocuSign Ink is simply a better, faster, more convenient and secure way to do business.”

“The convenience of mobile devices sets the bar for what your mobile workforce expects,” wrote Ted Schadler, vice president and principal analyst, in Forrester Research’s 2013 Mobile Workforce Adoption Trends report. “They want access to the Internet and to all their business tools from any location on any device.…employees are forging ahead with mobile devices and cloud apps to get work done in the most efficient and beneficial way possible.”

DocuSign Ink is available for users to place text and check boxes to complete forms, sign and return documents, and store DocuSigned documents in the Cloud. DocuSign Ink’s sending feature helps consumers get information and signatures from others with up to five complimentary sends. Users can then purchase additional envelope credits in the app. DocuSign Ink has garnered a number of awards, including:

  • Apple App Store ‘Best of 2012’
  • Best productivity App - Media Post’s 2012 Appy Award
  • WTIA’s Industry Achievement Award for Best Consumer Product/Service of the Year

Safe, secure, and legally binding, DocuSign Ink for Android leverages some of DocuSign’s most powerful commercial service features with an even more intuitive user experience tailored for Android users across 4-, 7- and 10-inch screens. DocuSign Ink makes it even easier to get and give legally binding signatures on documents – from contracts and rental agreements, to account openings, parent permission slips, and more.

According to Donna Millermcnutt, a user who posted on DocuSign Ink on Google Play: “This is the best app. I have weekly reports that I must sign & send in. This app allows me to do my paperwork without having to download & print the papers then sign & fax them in. I love this app!!!”
