> "I would recommend it, but with warnings about it's versatility. I found it not to be as forgiving as I would like. The options to add form elements are good, but it's still fairly rigid to use. A**dding more flexibility would be great - for example I wanted check boxes with descriptions beside them to capture digital application use.** BUT I had to re-do the form b/c it didn't like the method I chose to display my information and would not publish the form.
