### 5/5 — Great app & support

I just want to say that we are a small user but whenever we had an issue or suggestions, the  response was immediately. Keep the good work.

### 5/5 — Kevin Gallagher - Vegan Outreach

As an international nonprofit operating in seven countries, we've been very pleased using Nest Forms to create surveys to collect signups from people who're interested in our work and want to know more. 

Nest Forms is a vastly superior solution compared to our prior very time-consuming practice of using paper signup forms and having to do much manual data entry. It's especially critical that the Nest Form mobile app permits data collection in an offline mode when a network connection is absent.

Since I handle the admin side of Nest Forms for our organization, I've personally found Nest Forms Support to be very responsive to my misc. questions.
