Changed their model
I have used this app for years. Like another review said, the price was reasonable, and then it’s been increasing unreasonably fast. When it was reasonably priced, I would renew it, then it went up, I renew every other year.
Now it’s gone up even more, but I can even use the old data that I paid for. It’s like buying a book, you put it on the shelf and if you don’t pay a fee, they take the book away from you. Give me my book back, lower the rates and you get some happier campers.
2 stars because the app is really good. They even incorporated one of my suggestions years ago about tabbing the sections and sub-sections. For now, I guess I use eCFR for free, but I do miss the app.

Hi, thank you for the kind words about the app and for taking the time to leave a review. I’m sorry to hear that pricing was the deciding factor. If you’re willing, please email me at neil@lawstack.com. We’d hate to see you go when you’ve otherwise enjoyed the app :/
Baseline functionality
This app provides the complete FAR/AIM if that is what you are looking for. What is missing is a good contextual search and something to show what has changed with each update.
It would be ok but
They keep sending me billing for yearly subscription and they got it already… twice.
Highlighter
Hey fools, give us the ability to delete a Highlight. Do it on the next update or bye-bye
Updates
I just downloaded this apps in hopes to use it for my upcoming check ride, and it says on the app that the version of the FAR is January 8th 2025, and today is February 24, 2026. I doesn’t update thus I can’t use it for my check ride. Very disappointed
The subscription is not worth it
1. More expensive than buying a new book every year. 2. These are free documents off FAA website. Wrapping them up with an annual subscription is an interesting business model.
Poor Customer Service & Billing Practices
I didn’t renew my subscription after continuous price increases. The company ended up charging my credit card TWICE within days after not renewing. Worse yet, the email link to contact customer service comes back as undeliverable. I ended up having to file a claim on my credit card to get the charges removed.

Hi JCP, so sorry that this happened. Did you contact us? Please contact me at neil@lawstack.com and will refund the charge immediately.
For Pilots studying
Do not wast your money on these apps, I have purchased 3 and all their search functions are useless, the rudimentary search features will only provide exact matches at best and 9/10 times will not give you a revenant result. I have found it cheaper and better to download the AIM in PDF form from faa.gov and download the FAR in PDF form from govinfo.gov (you have to download all 5 volumes of Title 14 separately). Then upload them to a PDF viewer app such as goodnotes or Adobe (I like gooodnotes). The PDF viewer provides a much better search function and even ai assisted searches. I also keep my checklists and POH in goodnotes, you can use the apple pencil to check off items as you go. Hope this helps others pass their check rides.

Quick Reference
This is amazing. Quick reference. Just a few clicks and I have the FAA wording right at my fingertips.
Expensive Yearly subscription
This app is ALRIGHT, I rate it 6/10, but what ridiculous is the yearly $25 subscription.
Poorly supported
It’s an ok app, but poorly supported. Their currency with changes in the CFRs seems to be good, but the programming of the app left something to be desired. The app’s management of bookmarks was inconsistent and refused to allow me to arrange them. The app had recently started to crash when accessing certain regulations. I tried to contact the developer regarding the issue, and only got one response and no changes were implemented. Not worth the subscription fee.

Response from developer
Hi Ken, thanks for your review and sorry for the bad experiecnce -- particularly with the bookmarks. Certainly not the experience we want to provide. Would you mind sending me an email to support@lawstack.com? If you’re open to it, I’d also be happy to discuss this over the phone ( just 5 minutes call) at a time that’s convenient for you. Your input is valuable and will help us improve the app for you and others.
Quick Help
When the app downloaded it only had the 2020 version on it. Being dense, and not digging into the app enough to see there was updates pending for the current 2024 version, I emailed support. They VERY QUICKLY got back to me and explained how to update and that they keep the app current. Excellent customer service, even for dumba***s like me.

First-class Support
2-year subscriber and can’t say enough about the customer service. The response time to questions is within minutes of hitting send and it is a personalized respond not a generic “we received your message and will get back to you as soon as possible”. Awesome app…highlights and tabs never have to be updated like the hard copy versions.

9.99 24.99 in 7 days will allow to use this app.
I paied 9.99 to get the app on July 30th. 11 days later they are asking me to subscribe for another $24.99.
Be nice to have markers like tabs
Overall the search works well and its not terrible to locate information partially because I have always had a tabbed out hard copy version handy.
Distractor is unable to read content even without subscription glad I have my hard copy does not require batteries or need a subscription.
Sadly its always good to have an updated copy just in case.
Probably not renewing after this subscription.
Not my job to explain business models or UI/UX and such. Just make it affordable.

APP crashes when highlighting text
I’ve use this app for several years. Recently, when I highlight text, the app crashes. When I reopen the app the text is not highlighted however if I select the text and past the text that I highlighted is blocked out. Also, the bookmarking and organizing of selections is clumsy to say the least.

Hi Vaflyer, thanks for brining this to my attention. I tried checking our highlighting feature but I don't experience this issue. Would you mind sending me an email to support@lawstack.com ? Would really appreciate if we can discuss this in details .
Re: This app is invaluable
The app is amazing and it’s a much needed tool to progress through all the aviation certifications and the customer is positive and timely too.
Wonderful App
As an aviation professional, I’ve been using this app to perform my daily due diligence while working in an airline OCC.
This app is updated frequently by the developers. I, highly recommend this app to aviation professionals.

Ok
Good overall but annoying that it doesn’t recognize subscription paid limiting access between platforms (iPad phone etc)
