## What is Genius Sign?

Genius Sign is the best app to sign, date, and annotate your documents.

“Genius Sign shaved off about 30 min of my daily routine.” – Jane D., realtor
“I wish I had known about this app before” – Mike C., business owner.

Have you ever had to print a contract you received by email, to be able to sign it and scan it before sending it back? Well, Genius Sign is now going to save you a lot of time, trouble, and paper.

With Genius Sign, import any document, insert your signature, some text, the date, and export it wherever you need to.

To sign, draw your signature on the screen with your finger. You can also scan your actual handwritten signature with our award-winning scanning technology for a realistic rendering.

Genius Sign features two smart technologies that save you tons of time:
“Sign Here” magically detects the pages you need to sign, avoiding you to browse through the entire document.
“Auto Repeat” enables you to repeat your initials on all the pages.

Genius Sign is free to use and has no limit on the number of documents or signatures that you can manage. Should you be interested in the premium features, you can decide to upgrade to Genius Sign+.

FEATURES:

- Create and save new signatures, either by drawing or scanning them.
- Import PDF, Word or image documents.
- Insert text and date, change their format, color, style or size.
- Precisely position your annotations.
- Quickly locate the signature fields with our Sign Here feature.
- Import documents from Genius Scan, your Photos library or any cloud service.
- Export your documents by email or to other apps.

PREMIUM FEATURES:

+ Have guests sign documents without keeping their signature in the app.
+ Flatten annotations so that no one can modify them.
+ Repeat your initials on every page of a document.
+ Export to your favorite cloud service (Box, Dropbox, Evernote, FTP, Google Drive, OneDrive, OneNote, SugarSync, WebDAV).
+ Print documents with AirPrint.
+ Duplicate documents with or without their annotations, to reuse them as templates.
+ Password-protect and encrypt your PDF files.
+ Protect Genius Sign with Face ID, Touch ID, or with a passcode.

### 5/5 — Did what I needed it to do

*2026-07-10, version 2.19*

Signed and exported a pdf with no frills

### 1/5 — Customer support doesn’t reply

*2026-06-17, version 2.19*

Spent $25 for premium but still stuck with basic plan. I messaged the support team 2 weeks ago  and they have yet to reply. Sent another message 2 days ago and still no reply even though they say within 24 hours. Terrible service.

### 2/5 — No exacting out

*2026-06-13, version 2.19*

You can sign but the rectangle insertable are not fillable therefore you can’t redact out the document.

*2026-05-07, version 2.17*

I’m still working on it but I have over 20 years of photos shot from an iPhone on Apple on the highest quality photo with all the Meta data always saved on purpose. It’s all gone and everything has been changed to JP that’s over 14,000 photos I want to shut down

### 5/5 — Love It!

Simple but it works!

### 2/5 — Took out function

*2026-03-05, version 2.17*

I can’t use the search feature anymore when uploading to google docs

### 5/5 — I love the Genius apps

*2026-02-28, version 2.17*

Well, Genius Sign and Genius Scan are...wait for it:

genius.

And I'm sure Genius Fax is too; I just hope I'm never going to have to send a fax anywhere again. But Genius Sign and Genius Scan make me wish the Genius team designed every iOS app. These apps are  powerful, intuitive, and stable, which is, sadly, a very rare combination anymore.

I'm subscribing to Genius Sign, even though I very rarely have use for it, just because I want to support the developers and, when I do have use for the app, it's priceless. I'd like to subscribe to Genius Scan, which I use more frequently, but it's quite a bit pricier, and unfortunately I can't really afford that right now. I wish I could pay Genius Scan's subscription price and get full access to all of the Genius apps for that. But as it is, my subscription to Genius Scan will have to wait.

If you can afford it though, and have use for an outstanding scanning app and an outstanding app for signing documents on your phone, I'm sure you cannot do better than Genius Scan and Genius Sign. In my opinion these two apps leave nothing to be desired. ♥️
