Software Reviews and Criticism

  Great tools for those of use who occasionally need to send a fax

  If you are like most people that I know and don’t have a landline / fax PC at home yet seldom need to send a fax you are very familiar with either borrowing the work fax or going down to the local brick and mortar store that charges $2 for the 1st page and $0.25 for additional pages. Well this app will fix that. The premise is very simple, you download the app, you purchase a fax bundle trough the app store in app purchases and you use your fax, no need to send a fax this month? No monthly charges, need to send a 25-page fax? No need to worry about the .25 cent per page cost that some big box stores charge. I sent two faxes yesterday a 2 pager and one that was 12 pages long with out any issues and in less than 5 minutes I had the ‘successful’ transmission showing on the log. The only draw back that I saw with the app is that I attempted to send a fax with two separate pages (pdf’s) and the system did not like that, however, with a very simple and free tool from the app store called PDF Merge Free I was able to join both files as one and in less than 5 minutes I had scanned, merged the files and faxed them to the waiting party

  GREAT concept, product needs improvements

  I gave it 3 stars because the concept is great - it is useful, reasonably priced, would be convenient, would be useful for a wide range of individuals and needs. I couldn't rate it any higher because unfortuantely it falls short in funtionality. Installation was smooth, but when I attempted to purchase a package, that failed. The purchase is the equivalent of an in-app purchase and when my trouble-shooting efforts went nowhere I had to get Microsoft involved it took them quite some time but eventually were able to correct. The product encourages you to use their cover sheet, but after the fax is sent, there is no evidence of the cover sheet, so any information you put on their cover sheet is lost. The LOG shows only date, phone and whatever you entered in the ATTENTION field on their cover sheet. There is no time stamp and no way to recreate the cover sheet. So if you put useful information on the cover sheet make sure to save a copy before sending the fax. If a fax fails, there is no information as to why it failed. Also, any information you put on their cover sheet is lost and if you want to attempt to fax again, you must recreate your cover sheet. GREAT Concept, Functionality needs improvement.

  It works…a handy little fax utility.

  Purchesed a package of 25 faxes, 20 dollars, around 3 years ago. Used about 6 or so over that time…not a big faxer, but it definitally comes in handy when I need to send one. It’s so simple to use…the layout is minimal…no clutter to confuse you. Click on Compose…then add the fax number in it’s desiginated box…type your cover letter if you wish…attach a file you wish to fax…and click Send Fax. You get a set of green text that indicated that the fax was sent successfuly. It supports PDF, MS word, RTF, Excel, Power Point and Tiff files. Note: I changed computers twice since I originally dowloaded the app and purcheased the package. I had forgotten the name of the app, and I was lucky to remember the simplestic interface when looking through the App Store. All I had to do was enter my email that I used to register and BAM, it found my account and sent me a tempoary password. #FaxDocument #5stars

  It works, which makes it a bit odd, don’t you think?

  FaxDocument is one of those odd apps that simply does what it says it will do, with no muss, no fuss. It doesn’t have auto-redial or other real-fax features, but I don’t fax very often, and it serves my needs. I just get an email telling me the fax went through, or it didn’t. Plus, I don’t get spammed by their marketing department to upgrade, or buy other products; they haven’t asked me to join a subscription service; and there have been no updates since 2014 (that I recall). This app, like the company that made it, is not charismatic – I even thought the company must be out-of-business for lack of contact. But no. They’re there; and the apps just keeps working and working and working (to borrow a phrase).
