Pros and cons of Easy Release - Model Releases app for iPhone and iPad

Easy Release - Model Releases app good for

Fantastic tool, completely replaced my paper contracts. Just sometimes a not really intuitive interface, however still workable.
Very useful app. Well made, without glitches. Works perfect with any agency!
This Update makes it more Professional. With the ER Logo in the footer, it was like a Hobbyist App. ;-) You´re on the right Way! Thank´s!!!
This app saves me tons of time not having to carry around and find papers that seem to never be on me when I need them. The interface is clean and easy to use, both for the photographer and signing party. It also includes property releases as well. Great buy, worth the $10.
This is a first rate app worth five times the asking price. I guess one drawback could be that not all of the "bottom dwellers" in the microstock world will accept it. Worse yet they could even hold back on their .25 cent payouts. But for myself its nice to always have an app like this app to hand.
I was rather recalcitrant in the beginning, but this apps turns out to be quite well made and useful. Great for amateur photographers as well as professionnals.

Some bad moments

Hello, Nice app for releases, but: There are sooo many apps on the market to use your pen to draw or write something directly on the screen. Many of them are really smooth, like "Penultimate", which has (in my opinion) the best pen-like feeling as If you are writing on paper. In this app here, Easy Release, signatures are soooo bad, it is more like "scratching", it´s everything else than smooth. Please do fix that and make it better, smoother, more realistic - signature is the most important part of a release. You know that. If fixed, you get more stars.
The interface is quite strange and not following the typical UI themes or the design quality associated with most apps even in the top 50 of this category. The developer has instead opted for a solid black background, large roundrect buttons and hiding pages of descriptive text behind "(i)" information bubbles rather than designing an interface to accommodate the information. Status areas in the Model Release Summary allow you to press them, they stay in their active appearance but do nothing (if a /button/ reads: signature required, pressing that button should take me to the entry screen. If it has no action, dont make it a button). When you first open the app youre given a screen you have no choice but to accept, letting you know that the releases it produces are not legal documents, which while needless to say also produces a terrible first-use experience. Despite paying for the application the company decides to put its logo, website url and program name on all your releases. The application does as it says, but through close to a dozen screen-fuls per release created, and while feeling like paper releases are actually the faster method to go back to using. It "works" in that it produces a release (whether agencies even accept the releases is a wholly different matter that the developer claims theyre working on) but Im giving it the solid two star for "dont like it." I really hope they work on making this the great app it can become! Id love to re-rate this as a 5, or to feel like $10 in photocopied releases wouldnt be the better long-term purchase.
It dosent work with the touch. I have and tryied everything + have newer version
Description says forms/fields are completely customizable but fails to mention this is only after another in-app purchase. Would have been nice to know that the app is actually $15 if you want to make use it properly as described. Feel ripped off. There are other much cheaper apps that allow many more options for customization.
Stopped working on iOS 7. The screen goes black when I launch the app.
I have been using this app for all my photoshoots. Yesterday I went to a shoot with 5 models, didnt bring backup paper releases, and the app wouldnt work on my iPad or phone. I deleted it, reinstalled it, restarted both devices, and it wouldnt work. I can no longer trust this app for important jobs and have installed a different model release app.
