Not ready to be launched
This app is a pain to use. Only viewable in landscape mode. Backwards arrow doesn't work. Need to quit app and start over no backwards navigation. Plus the information provided could easily be found with a simple internet search.
Very difficult to read
Don't know what you call them but the little rolly boxes where the info is displayed are ridiculous to small to read to small to manipulate with fingers.
Love Knife Rights but app needs a do over!

It's a Good Start
This app definitely has room for improvement. But, it's a work-in-progress which I trust is going to bloom into something very good.
Kniferights is a very important organization achieving amazing results at very important work. I'm proud to support Kniferights and urge everyone who values our Constitutional Rights to do so too. I'm glad that Kniferights has recognized a need to make this vitally-important information available as an iPhone app and look forward to seeing a bit of polishing work in the future.

A More Fair Review
I am quite surprised to see the entirely negative reviews about this app- I have seen much worse "niche" apps. Compared to actually spending hours skimming and studying penal code, this app is a major convenience- at the very least, it provides specific law sections at a few moments' notice, which can be verified with official legal sources (a good one is LexisNexis, but it only includes a few States). As other reviewers have mentioned, the header takes up a lot of space on the page, though it does not prevent adequate use of the app. The tables showing the basic knife restrictions of each state could use some labeling (green means non-restricted or very limited restriction, yellow means medium restriction, and red means full prohibition), and can be difficult to scroll (drag the center column with the color codes); overall, I think these charts need more screen space. The legal pop-ups are annoying, but understandable. This is most certainly worth the $2 for convenience, and the fact that, unlike those three-year-old ask.com results, the legal codes and their effects are up-to-date in this app. While it is still good to do detailed legal research with an official source (especially for your state of residence), this is a great app for anytime you need to travel, and don't have hours to read code. And if you are unlike me, and are willing to fully trust someone else's legal summary, this is the best source of information.

Interface needs a lot of work
Interface is terrible ... you have to scroll through a lot of disclaimers to access info.
And once you get to the info it's extremely tedious to read/navigate. The "header" take up vital space and the two "window" scrolling tables are very difficult to scroll, and display very little info at a time.
I like the color coded indicators and notes, but accessing them is very hard.

Needs work
I wanted to like this app as I support the organization and the cause. Unfortunately the user interface needs a lot of work. Landscape only and use of screen real estate is clunky.
