Excerpted from: ASMP: Release Tutorial
"A release is a written agreement between you and the person you are photographing, or the person who owns the property you are photographing. The purpose of the release is to protect you from any future lawsuits the person might file for claims such as defamation and invasion of privacy.
A model release says the person being photographed has given consent to be photographed and to the use of the images you capture. It doesn’t just apply to professional models or situations where people know they are posing for photos. You should seek to get a signed model release any time that your photos contain recognizable images of people, unless you are certain that you will never want to use them for anything other than editorial purposes.
A property release says that the owner of a certain property, such as a pet or a building, has given you consent to take and use images of the property. You don’t need one for public property, such as government buildings (although you may run into problems just from photographing them, for security reasons). But for images of private property — and particularly of objects that are closely identified with specific people — you are safer if you get a release.
The releases you obtain should be saved forever and should be linked in some way with the photographs to which they relate. You can expect to be asked to produce them whenever you license an image, and you will need them if you ever have to defend yourself in court."

A selection of App Store reviews from US and Canadian users
Works Great - ★★★★★
by JohnRRRRRRTT - Version 1.8.110117 - 17 July 2011
This APP is superior to a paper release in many ways. It is neater, it sends a release to both you and the model, and it includes a photo of the model on the release. Although you can sign with your finger, I prefer to use an iPhone stylus. I had an issue with the company logo not appearing in my releases and when I contacted customer support they were able to assist me with the problem. So between the good product and the good customer support I give this release my highest rating.
Awesome app and support - ★★★★★
by Nam p - Version 1.8.110117 - 29 June 2011
Awesome app. Love the fact that you can customize the language and if you're clever enough, this is all you need for wedding and event contracts. Also, the support is quick and top notch. I sent them email late one night and they responded first thing in the morning. Two thumbs up!
Perfect app of it's kind - ★★★★★
by VulpineBoi221 - Version 1.8.110117 - 26 May 2011
I am very impressed with this app. It allows you to, not only acquire signatures and releases from clients but organize those releases in a very easy to use, efficient way. Not to mention the fact that presenting my ipad to a client gives me one more small step up in reputation for my adaptation of technology. Well done.
Great APP!!! - ★★★★★
by GusDoeMatik - Version 1.8.110117 - 23 May 2011
I purchased the app right after emailing the developer, asking several questions. Within a few hours they responded and sent me a sample PDF. I liked what I saw, what I read in the reviews, and what they wrote as a description. I purchased it. Set it up for my preferences. And was good to go. That same day I shot a model had them sign it and it worked like a charm. The model even liked the ease and convience of the app. Great app. Thank you and keep up the good work. If I had to add to the app it would be: 1) allow for custom papers/backgrounds (letter heads) 2) add more %****% features like ( %PARENT% %EMAIL% %ADDRESS% %PHONE%) and such. To better customize the layout. Other than that I find no flaws in the app. It works perfect.
WOW - ★★★★★
by z3r01 - Version 1.8.110117 - 22 May 2011
JUST AMAZING, i wish i didnt spend money on the app before
Just what I needed - ★★★★
by MGPhoto - Version 1.8.110117 - 03 May 2011
Just what I needed since i never seem to have a paper form with me when I need it. Works like a charm for all it's worth. Now I just wish they would add more contract ability, such as a wedding or commercial photography contract! Four stars only because I want more, and I judge hard. I reserve the top score for nothing less than outstanding.
Buy it - ★★★★★

by RAD Photo - Version 1.8.110117 - 12 August 2011
Works like a charm and the support people are awesome. A very handy tool that adds to the professional look and feel of a shoot.
The best, most useful app for photographers! - ★★★★★
by Cliff.S - Version 1.8.110117 - 14 June 2011
This app is the absolute best of it's kind!! Every Photographer should have Easy Release. Talk about EASY - works like a charm with NO bugs, no learning curve, no filler stuff etc. Just plain genius! I used to always forget to bring release forms but thanks to this app, I've got a signed release with every single model I've worked with since buying it!! And the instant email function is pure gold - both model, and photog, get the fully completed release immediately! And, last but not least, their support is prompt and very helpful! I emailed them some questions and within 24 hours I had the answers!! Definitely 5 Stars and highly recommended ~ Cliff
best photographer app IMHO - ★★★★★
by checb - Version 1.8.110117 - 13 April 2011
This app is great! Even after only creating 2 model releases, I am in love with it. It's so much easier, and convenient, to create the release electronically, and being able to add a photo to the resulting PDF and having it emailed to you and the model is a great feature. I wish I had this app (and an iPad) years ago!
Worked as promised - ★★★★★
by Jting88 - Version 1.8.110117 - 10 April 2011
I can say anything bad about it. It did exactly what I expected and worked really well on location. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with models. It showed a level of professionalism that set the tone before the shooting started.
Awesome , - ★★★★★
