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Hours-of Service is on of the most important facets of the railroaders life and to have this app be over three years out of date is unacceptable especially considering the price.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.

I'm so sorry for the inconvenience you had with the app. We constantly work hard to improve our apps and I'm sure this time is a lot better. I hope you find time to try our flagship app LawStack where you can also download 49 CFR and find many other contents. Our customer support is very responsive. You can reach us at support@lawstack and we will be happy to address whatever issues you experience.

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. :) :)

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.

Excellent app!!

As a Railroad Safety Inspector, this app is great for looking up regulations in a hurry. It also eliminates the need to carry around the thick and heavy CFR.

DC Managers Bible

A blessing in disguise, as a DC Manager having this available at a moments notice is so very efficient.
No monster books to lug around. The search program makes looking up details an easy process.

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.

Great app

Great app, appreciate the relatively timely updates and responsiveness to minor bugs. I use the apps for CFR's title 29, 27, 49, 16 and 40. All work well and save me hauling a lot of books when I travel. It does seem like navigation could be improved, but I don't have any suggestions...

Great App!

Would give 5 stars if we could highlight. Any chance of this in the near future Kaom? Great app though. Nice to see updated material.

Response from developer

Thanks for your support. Highlight and taking notes feature is already available and we will keep that forever <3

Five stars if...

Devs would add multicolor highlighting and ability to add annotations with ability to choose text color as well. Love the product.

Response from developer

Thanks for your support. We keep on improving the app and your suggestion is very important. Thanks for the idea :)

Great Product

Suggestion: allow restricted searches so that you can focus the search by part. E.g.- Part 195, Part 192......

Response from developer

Thanks for your support. It has already been fixed since the previous updates. I hope you can also try our flagship app LawStack where you can also download 49 CFR and many other contents.

Excellent App!

As a Motor Carrier Inspector I have to carry several thick books with me. With this app I have reduced it to just one and that is Out-Of-Service Criteria which is not published in any electronic format. Thank you for this app and the great work you have put into all the Federal Regulations. Maybe when you get a change you can add a book mark or tab feature set... Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!
