Overall Satisfaction with Submittable

We use Submittable to take applications for fellowships and programs. We also use it for processing forms, surveys, and other various RSVPs.
  • allows an applicant to save an application that is in process
  • connects recommendations directly to the specific application
  • ease of uploading recommendations for recommenders
  • Would like to see the ability to have management edit an application on the backend, as applicants sometimes make mistakes and want us to fix them.
  • Needs a better way to edit a problem with a recommender's email address on an application. Currently, the only way is to open a submitted application for editing, which is not ideal after the deadline has passed.
  • overall time savings
  • better applicant experience
Their recent upgrade to splitting the "project form" and "form" form is not ideal for our workflow. But, I could see why it is useful for others.
It does simplify the process for applicants. The new feature where applicants can send requests for recommendations before submission of the application has really helped.
WORLDS better than Wufoo - no contest. Formstack didn't suit our needs.
