Ratingstars3 Rated 3 out of 5 stars by AppAppeal Editor
What can you use the application for?
Showdocument is an application that makes sharing and commenting on files very easy. It is possible to use the application to upload a document, invite your colleagues and discuss it. There are also a number of tools which allow other people to write on your document and make their suggestions. While there are a number of other collaborative tools out there, this is one of the easiest and simplest to use. It’s very easy for these tools to get too complicated; showdocument on the other hand is much more effective. When you have a number of people all working on the same document you will actually see everyone cursor as they move it, with their name under it. It’s very easy to upload a file and then comment on it. It’s also possible to upload new files while you are talking to people and get people working on multiple documents.
What is the history and popularity of the application?
Showdocument was created by hbrlabs, a company that has also produced a number of popular apps such as interactive host. Collaboration applications are getting more popular every day, and that’s because the world is getting smaller. While it’s easy to collaborate with people sat at your desk, it’s a little bit more difficult to work with someone on the other site of the planet. ShowDocument makes this possible, and with the popularity with outsourcing work this site is getting even more popular.
What are the differences to other applications?
There are a number of great advantages to using showdocument rather than many of the other collaboration tools. Perhaps the most important reason is that it’s free, however it’s also very easy for you and your colleagues to use. You do not have to sign up to use the app; it’s just a matter of uploading your file and clicking on a button. You can then invite other people to comment on the document, and they just need to click on a link. Here they will be able to make notes on the document itself and also chat about it.
How does the application look and feel to use?
ShowDocument takes something which is very complicated and makes it much more bearable. Although this is work, it’s almost fun! Being able to work with someone who can actually see a copy of the document and make notes on it is so much better than chatting over the phone. Show document can support a number of different files including Doc, PDF, PPT, and image files.
How does the registration process work?
There is no registration process for show document, you don’t need to open any account in order to use the site. The only thing that you need to do is select the file that you want to discuss, upload it, and then click on a button to start your session. You can then invite your colleagues and customers to talk about the document and make adjustments as necessary.
What does it cost to use the application?
ShowDocument is completely free; there are no paid subscription plans. You can upload files up to a maximum of 2MB in size, which should be more than enough for the majority of office documents. You don’t even need to create an account to use this application; it’s just a matter of uploading your file and starting work on it.
Who would you recommend the application to?
ShowDocument is a very useful app which many people might benefit from using. It’s ideal for anyone that needs to collaborate with someone that they are not sat by at the moment. This makes it not only ideal for business use, but it’s also a fantastic site for working on school projects. Any sort of project that requires input from multiple people, who are often difficult to tie down will benefit from using ShowDocument. It’s possible to upload virtually any type of office document, including DOC and PDF to work on them together.
