This app has been a recent choice as a form filling app for our students with dysgraphia. iAnnotate provides a number of features such as the ability to create folders to organize documents and the ability to customize/simplify the tool bars, reducing the difficulty of use by younger students. iAnnotate also provides the type of choices for workflow needed in our school district allowing transferring the document to Google Drive, Drop Box or by email.
