Done!

 

Tip.  Name your saved certs suitable for searching, remove any unnecessary wording as that’s going to take more to filter as you have to get past that to start getting unique matches, it also serves no purpose for the naming convention.  Think about how you would want to search for it, if you want to find a certificate at – 24 High Street, simply name it as that.  It doesn’t appear on your cert so you call it what you want, its simply  there to filter the certificate so you can find it in your filing cabinet 

Are iCertifi Apps Purchased Separately?

Yes. Each iCertifi app is a separate product, you need to purchase each separately.   Once purchased, each app can be used on as many devices as you have on your iTunes account.

Syncing Between Devices

iCertifi does not sync between devices automatically, iCertifi works offline so you don’t need an internet connection to use it and can produce electrical certificate anywhere. Due to this data is stored locally. You can, however, manually move backups between devices on the same iTunes account that will achieve a similar thing.
