Illinois Law (LawStack Series) User Reviews

Needs to be user-friendly

Here are eight dead simple tweaks Tekk Innovations can make to their LawStack apps to bring about major improvements in user-friendliness:

1. Use iCloud to back up bookmarks not just as app data in our backups.

2. Fix the numerous broken links all over sections referencing different sections, and clean up formatting.

3. Allow us to write our own notes in each section, title, chapter, etc. and sync that with iCloud so we do not lose them when switching devices.

4. Add relevant pictures beside the titles so we don't have to go up and down scrolling to find which part of our state's laws we often reference. They have handcuffs for the Penal Code and a car for the Vehicle Code on those smaller apps; why not as a handy guide in the $29.99/yr apps?

5. Start including tracking, or case, numbers, when contacting support so as to make it easier to maintain contact about the issue, especially if it's a content error or an annoying bug in the app which diminishes its quality and worthiness of paying as much as $29.99 plus tax year after year to keep everything up to date!

6. Add a PDF and a DOCX exporting feature so the app would be useful beyond our iOS/Android devices. I have been asking for this since I've paid over $300 for twelve state law apps in July of 2016, which I'll have to pay again this July to keep all the laws current! I don't want to copy and paste everything one section after one section after one section!

7. Let us view one title all at once! This one's REALLY dead simple! I'm getting tired of having to back out of every section to look at another one, like robbery in the first degree after I look at robbery in the second or third degree! Also, let us view an entire chapter on the same screen!

8. Integrate the app with Windows and macOS web browsers such as Edge, Google Chrome and Safari. We can manage our subscriptions on our desktops once we sign in, why not be able to log in and use our iOS/Android apps on Windows or macOS, or Chrome OS, or Linux?

I'll check back on December 31 next year and see how far LawStack has come with innovating their state law apps before I consider paying over $300 to renew my subscriptions on my twelve state law apps each year. That's a lot of money, especially by iOS/Android app standards, even if the $29.99 included data updates and free customer support for life!

So simple to use! And quick!

This program allows quick mobile access to statutes. Search function works smoothly as well.

Need additional info

Great app and accurate statutes and rules. However, it desperately needs to include illinois Supreme Court rules, rules of evidence, and circuit court rules.

Good App on the go

I use this app pretty often and I can always locate the statue I want. I agree it would be nice to turn off section that I never use.

Good app... But not great

Has a decent search feature, biggest needed improvement needed is regular updates to keep statutes current. Overall a good app if u have the need to have statutes in your pocket!

Great app. Wish there was the availability to turn off certain parts of the code in settings. Really helpful search tool.

Mobile, searchable and extremely useful

This app has saved me so much time in the office and on the road. Keyword search is what I use the most. Easy to see article, section, etc. References to another article are linked. I wish the Legislature bill introductions were available in this mobile, easy to search format. Also, I would happily purchase for other midwest states if available, esp. WI and MN.

Despite having Fastcase (a free app) this is very useful

There are courthouses that
a) have no wifi
b) have no signal at all, even 3G

This app comes in very helpful, and the search option seems ok. Since I have had it, I found myself turning to the iPad for the cite and language, rather than going on line. I recommend this to any lawyer who is mobile.

Good but not great

Not sure why the supreme court rules are not included. To a practitioner it would seem to be a glaring omission.
