Where is the updated hours-of-service language??

The FRA law changed in 2008 with the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008...This EXPENSIVE app is still not updated to be current with this changed legislation. The Hours-of Service is on of the most important facets of the railroaders life and to have this app be over three years out of date is unacceptable especially considering the price.

Aside from that a good and handy app...would have 5 stars if not for the aforementioned shortcomings.

####UPDATED, reduced rating####
Now expected to pay an annual fee for a set of laws that change infrequently and this app is slow to add when they do.

Why

This app is useless without a search feature. The button is there, but not functional. What a waste of 30 bucks.

Response from developer

Im so sorry for the trouble you had with the app. It has been already fix since the previous version of the app. Could you write me at support@lawstack.com? I'm one of the developers and will be happy to find a way to fix this issue for you.

Prohibitive cost to update ruins otherwise good platform

The only real negative I have, but it is a large one, is the exorbitant price for updates considering the already high initial purchase price. Although I appreciate the convenience of untethered access to my specific title of the CFR, I can always go to the .gov eCFR website when I'm online and screenshot the pages I need. 9$ annual update fee is a more reasonable figure until then two stars- save your money.

Im so sorry if its too expensive. Prices vary on each apps. I hope you understand that the price is just enought to cover the cost and time we spent to maintain this particular app and keep the ongoing updates. I hope you could write me at support@lawstack.com and I will be happy to help you with the price. :) :)

Stars Consulting

I bought this app thinking that it would serve as backup in case I got caught without a textbook. I was dreading having to actually find something in it but, guess what, it is actually much easier to find the sections that I need than using my well used and tabbed textbooks. It is obviously much easier to cart around than multiple thick textbooks and the producers seem to keep it updated well. I heartily recommend this app.

Outstanding.

The app for IPad is such a great tool to have in the field. Especially when there is differing opinions between professionals. This is a quick easy way to find the answer. I highly recommend downloading this app.
