  • Great Support!

    Had an update issue and they resolved it immediately and with no issues or aggravation. That means a lot to me!
    Very pleased with the product, the updates and the support.

    Developer Response

    So happy to hear that :D Stay tuned for the updates :)
  • Excellent

    Thanks a lot for opening my eyes on the US constitution and what it entails; and for free on my phone and iPad to carry everywhere? Another big thank you.
  • Good overall app

    Initially had some problems with in-app purchases, but this has now been resolved.
  • Most practical

    I've tried all the free Constitution apps except for one that is too large too download via wi-fi, and this is far and away the best. Searchable, adjustable font size, layout adapts to tiny screen ... resembles Kindle iPhone app. Would be five stars but for a minor navigation annoyances and slightly too terse Help section. Unfortunately, 4.5 stars is not a rating option.

  • Excellent App, with only one thing preventing it from being great...

    As a practicing lawyer, I find this app invaluable. It has completely replaced 9 inches of books on my bookshelf.

    Only thing preventing it from being "great" and getting five stars is that the format of the rules, etc. does not include the bolding and indenting that make it easier to jump from section to section in things like the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. This makes a rule like Rule 26 incredibly dense and, as a result, more difficult to review.

  • Extremely Informative and Easy to Use

    Americans should have this app on whatever device they use, as it contains valuable information about/on the Constitution that each and every American should know, and know well. Plus, it is full of legal options, and laws ect... Well worth having on hand just for the knowledge alone!
    I thoroughly enjoy learning new things, and this app is right up my alley, Thank you!

  • So Helpful

    I have used this app for a quick reference and study tool for my Constitutional Law and Law & Society classes, and It has been a so helpful. I have also used to during political discussions with friends and to solve arguments over the content of the US Constitution. Thank you very much for this simple and user friendly app!

  • LawStack Pros and Cons

    Here are the pros. The layout of the app is wonderful, and since I'm a VoiceOver user, it works well. I like how the sections and subsections are broken up and linked. Here are the cons: 1. Each title of the CFR or USC has to be purchased individually and is an individual app. This is problematic if you desire to have an entire legal library. Also, not all state codes are included, such as Iowa or Arizona. The Federal Statutes are also not included. Also, there isn't a complete archive from the year the regulation or legislation was made effective to the present date. This can be problematic when doing legal research and case preparation. Also, the court rules for the Supreme Courts, Appeals Courts, Circuit courts, and District courts are not included, and neither are the state court rules. Also, there is no way to look up case sites with this app. Also, the Public Laws are not included, as well as each State's sets of Acts. Also, the policies and procedures of each state and federal agency are not included, nor their administrative codes.

  • Great Tool!

    Great as a quick student reference when reading cases. Also a handy way to squeeze in some study/review when you find yourself stuck waiting somewhere with nothing to do, otherwise watching time slip away.
  • lot going for it

    I like this application a lot. It is fast and well thought out. Want I especially like and what I think puts it ahead of many of the other legal reference apps is the fact that it is "one-stop", so I don't have to have one app for each body of law and the additions are reasonably priced and easy to purchase on the fly from within the app and there is a wide selection of statutes and jurisdictions (although I would love to have the NYS PJI added, I doubt it can be done).

    I do have one criticism: the method of navigation has way too many steps. Each "book" has a separate page for each subdivision, i.e. in the FRE, one page for Articles, one page for the Rules within the Article and finally the actual text. I guess I am not so bothered by the getting there but this method makes jumping to various sections quite tedious as it requires a near round trip back and then forward again every time. I'm note sure what the solution to this problem would be, perhaps a one-third screen navigation panel on the left and a two-thirds text panel on the right? And make the navigation panel collapsible (or a popover) so the text can be viewed full screen? Come to think of it, that would be a perfect solution as it works like a charm in other iPad apps.
