Discover the iPad advantage.
iPads and mobile devices excel when it comes to digital signatures. Signing documents on a touchscreen iOS device like an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch gives you the closest approximation of a physical signature. Instead of tracing with your trackpad or cursor, you can simply use an Apple pencil, other stylus, or your finger to write out your signature just like you would with a pen and paper.
