### 4/5 — Great app with a downfall on price

*2016-10-05*

I love the features of this app and the ability to keep regulations on my iPad and iPhone close to me during exams. The listed price doesn't include the updates after a pre determined Time limit. You have to re activate and pay again to continue getting updates and the activate feature is broken within the app.

**Developer response:** Hi Paytonious, I'm so sorry for the inconvenience. This issues has already been fixed in our flagship app "LawStack". All the software updates and fixes will all be available there moving forward. You can find it in the AppStore. If you have further questions, you may contact us at support@lawstack.com. Thanks again!

### 4/5 — Inspectors

*2013-07-24*

I would give it a 5 if it didn't cost so much. Very helpful app for looking up CFR's quickly without carrying the books. I used the web for a while but after problems with the websites and getting it to load I caved in. When you search though and you are trying to look in a section say "k" it will go back and search the whole 46 CFR and you have to find section "k". Overall though its worth the money.

**Developer response:** Hi Agarns, Thanks for your feedback! The searching issue has already been fixed in our flagship app "LawStack". For the best experience, please download it and access your subscription there. Thanks again!

### 4/5 — As advertised

*2009-10-06*

It wouldn't surprise me if I am the first person to download this app! It seems to be exactly as advertised. I'm not sure if it will be updated with revised cfrs, but it is quite handy to have for shipchecks or client meetings.

### 5/5 — Great!

### 5/5 — Excellent execution, up to date, worth price

*2013-01-04*

I am a deck cadet at a US maritime academy. I take my job very seriously, and am also a realist. I also happen to hold a commercial aviation certificate. Understanding CFRs is an embarrassingly big part of my life. I bought and downloaded titles 33, 46 and 47. These are the big three for deck officers in the US Merchant Marine. Now, onward!

The Tekk series of CFRs is better than anything I've ever seen. Suppose you want a book that contains everything you need to know about regulations. This is more compact.

What if you want a guaranteed up to date version of your title of study? Skip paper, go digital. Tekk does the hard work for you - for $30 a title, that's really good. And way easier to read than "just going online". Skip the browser nausea, get this.

And what about the nitty gritty? As any competent researcher can deduce, you can highlight, copy, print, bookmark, search, and copy what you need. This comes in handy for practicing users and lowly students alike.

I have found no errors or omissions yet.

My only criticism is that it would be simpler to install one app as a reader, and download new CFR titles within that app. It would seem to simplify everyone's lives a little. That said, I have benefitted from being able to switch between titles with a double tap of my iPad's home button.

If you're a student in a field that relates to these CFRs, you will benefit beyond the money spent. If you're a practicing officer of sorts, you're encouraged to join the ranks of the wizened and efficient.

### 5/5 — Best Reference App for the Mariner

*2012-12-22*

This is by far the best app I have purchased for referencing USCG regs and rules for vessels. Makes for a quick reference on the iPad and iPhone once highlighted and bookmarked. I would recommend this app for anyone in a supervisory position on board or managing vessels along with CFR's 33, 47, & 49, as well as, the US Code apps. iPad works best.

### 5/5 — USCG Marine Inspector

*2012-11-29*

### 5/5 — Fantastic app for Marine Inspectors & Inveatigators

*2012-11-26*

For years I've been making do with PDF versions of references downloaded from GPO. Having the latest updates to regs with all my annotations from year to year is priceless. So much better than having all of my bookmarks locked in an outdated print book or older PDF! If you're a marine surveyor, inspector, or investigator, spend the cost of a pizza and simplify your life!

### 5/5 — LT

*2012-10-03*

If you are a marine inspector, etc, do yourself a favor and just get this app...you WILL use it! To have all this knowledge in your pocket out in the field is a great asset. Have a question while out of the office, settle a friendly debate over lunch, or whatever it may be, just use the handy search function for a keyword and instantly you have what you're looking for! Love it!
