I have been searching for something like this and was thrilled to finally find an application that would work. I especially lie the upload feature for capturing my signature via camera. I will check out the mobile app too.

the biggest difficulty I have is when I am trying to re-order documents (move them left or right) -- it is just very difficult to see them. I wish the functionality allowed for enlarging the docs so that I could see what it is.
