This app worked marginally well. Except when it would crash without warning. Now it won't even load search results. All I get now is a pinwheel ever turning. This was a great idea executed horribly. I wish y'all would fix it but that's probably wishful thinking... ### 2/5 — Not happy. *2023-07-18, version 3.0.1* I use fastcase through my bar association and have no problems, it is easy to use. This app is not at all user friendly. It crashes and I have tp keep logging in. Frustrating! ### 2/5 — Poor development *2022-05-01, version 3.0.1* App continues to crash without notice. Using it is like a rush to find what you are looking for before the app crashes. I have my Fastcase account through my bar membership and I hate having to use the internet app on my iPhone and iPad to do legal research when I have the Fastcase app on both devices. I hope that they will fix this issue soon as I am seeing reviews from years ago stating that the app crashes without notice. A simple update to fix this bug would make this app so much better. ### 2/5 — Useful App, but it crashes often *2019-12-01, version 3.0.1* This is a useful research tool, too bad it crashes almost every time I try to use it on my iPhone! Please fix. ### 2/5 — Not up to date *2019-07-12, version 3.0.1* I used to use this for all of my research. The statutes and case law aren’t kept up to date. For Missouri they are at least two years old. ### 2/5 — CRASHES! *2019-06-10, version 3.0.1* This would be a fantastic app if it were stable. It constantly crashes on me. PLEASE FIX!! ### 1/5 — Worthless *2019-03-09, version 3.0.1* I like the computer PC version and am a subscriber. This app is awful with constant bugs and searches miss cases or time out to error. I actually glanced at it today and saw it was last updated 4 years ago. That is piss poor. Hey FastCase...... get rid of your app. You aren’t at all committed to it and it’s about to make us get rid of your other product ### 1/5 — Worthless *2019-03-09, version 3.0.1* App used to be pretty good for on-the-go research, but it hasn’t been updated in years and now is worthless for any purpose. ### 1/5 — Crashes Constantly *2019-01-30, version 3.0.1* I find a good case, I’m reading it and suddenly the app crashes. Over and over. Will Fastcase 7 fix this? I have a subscription through my Bar Association. ### 1/5 — Can’t find basic phrases *2019-01-26, version 3.0.1* I’ve been practicing for awhile now, and it’s entirely beyond me why the mobile app gives back an error every time I search anything more than one word at a time. Absolutely useless for legal research as of 1/26/2019 by my experience...would gladly be proven wrong, but any app that claims to be legal research and can't return a search for “protection order”, “murder” or “theft” at the state level kinda fails hard.... ### 1/5 — Good service, TERRIBLE app *2018-12-22, version 3.0.1* Hasn’t been updated in 3 YEARS! Crashes roughly every 20 seconds on iPhone X. Requires a new login after every crash. Who has patience to tolerate that? I deleted it almost immediately. ### 1/5 — If only it didn’t crash all the time... *2018-12-20, version 3.0.1* This app would be stellar if it didn’t crash repeatedly. When it crashes, and I’m talking at least 10x/day, you have to log-in anew and you loose everything you were viewing. It’s a headache instead of the gem it could be. ### 1/5 — Constantly crashing *2018-10-16, version 3.0.1* Constantly crashing ### 2/5 — WHAT HAPPENED???!!! *2018-10-06, version 3.0.1* THE APP WAS WORKING GREAT AND NOW FOR EVERY SEARCH ENTRY I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE. VERY ANNOYING MUST FIX ASAP ### 1/5 — Crashes *2018-06-26, version 3.0.1* This app is unusable as it crashes constantly ### 1/5 — Crashes repeatedly *2018-05-16, version 3.0.1* Hasn’t been updated in 3 years not sure why but constantly crashes unexpectedly. Can’t use it because unreliable; it’s hard to retrace research, history is not sufficient to do so. Please fix because it could be great. ### 3/5 — Good app for research *2018-05-08, version 3.0.1* Overall, it’s is a decent app. It provides good research results - quick & efficient. However, it crashes often. You will be in the middle of your research, reading a case or statute and it will just close. No warning. Then you have to log back in with your user ID and password. That is time consuming and a basic pain. It has happened to me repeatedly. It is a bug that needs to be fixed. If fixed, I’d give the app a 5. ### 4/5 — Great App *2018-03-16, version 3.0.1* Great app, however, it frequently crashes. The workaround is to save the search files. ### 3/5 — Constantly Crashing *2018-01-04, version 3.0.1* When will the bugs be fix to stop the site from crashing? Every 5 minutes, I get kicked off. I’m now copying and pasting into notes just to review cases. Please fix:) thanks! I love the use, just hate the hassle. ### 1/5 — Crashes! *2017-12-18, version 3.0.1* This has worked well for a while but today it crashed five times in a row after about 30 seconds of being open. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t sign up as new user! *2023-05-22, version 3.0.1* I can’t even sign in. ### 1/5 — Randomly crashes after a few minutes. *2022-10-06, version 3.0.1* Same as other users. ### 1/5 — Free service from Bar works very poorly on IPAD and crashes *2022-07-09, version 3.0.1* This app used to works OK. Not every search op ration results in XML parsing errors. It is free for our state and that used to mean something. Now it feels like our state is irrelevant to FastCase. ### 1/5 — Hasn’t been updated, app no longer works *2022-04-22, version 3.0.1* App hasn’t been updated in seven years, it keeps saying XML Parrsing don’t waste your time they don’t keep their products up-to-date ### 1/5 — Woefully deficient *2021-09-02, version 3.0.1* My sympathies to Fastcase associates and affiliates. ### 1/5 — Crashed twice in first 15 minutes *2020-08-02, version 3.0.1* You can’t save your preferences so you have to go back and select your jurisdiction and other preferences each time. Continuously crashes so it’s really useless...all your work is gone in minutes ### 1/5 — Useless. Buggy. Crashes constantly. *2019-08-09, version 3.0.1* The State Bar pays for this but it’s completely useless. Google is better for legal research. ### 1/5 — Needs updating. Was good; now rarely works. *2019-07-11, version 3.0.1* This was a good app. Great app, even. Now it rarely works. XML parsing errors. No update in 4 years. TIP: You can still pull direct case cites. Searching, however, appears broken. It is a shame. This was a great app, and their website does not work on mobile devices well (if at all). I hope they update it. Until then? Only use it if you have the case cite. ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2019-06-12, version 3.0.1* This used to be the best research app out there, hands down. Unfortunately, it’s recently become almost entirely useless - can’t get any results for anything. After 10+ years of using FC I may have to switch to another service if they don’t get their act together. ### 1/5 — Crashes constantly *2019-06-10, version 3.0.1* Absolutely worthless. Just go to the website through your browser, this app never works and will only lead to frustration. They should remove it from the App Store, its that bad. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Absolutely Awesome!!! *2016-04-06, version 3.0.1* Can't express enough how great this app is for attorneys on the go. To have a case right at your finger tips for review is invaluable! And you can save the case for later review??? and the app is free??? Absolutely Awesome!!! ### 5/5 — Helpful reliable easy to share *2016-02-25, version 3.0.1* I find this app to be super useful and reliable. Plus it's easy to share information from it. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2015-10-29, version 3.0.1* As a lawyer, this app is extremely helpful. It's fast and easy to use. It is like having west law or lexis and best of all, it is free. Thank you so much for developing this app. ### 5/5 — Just love it *2015-04-15, version 3.0.1* Oooooh my god, this is one of the greatest apps I have ever come across. Not only contains all US codes but it is so easy to use and also contains case law. This people has done a beautiful work and although there are only five stars to rate I emphatically will give it 7 stars. ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2015-02-16, version 3.0.1* This an excellent app. Thank you so much for this! ### 5/5 — Updated *2015-01-10, version 3.0.1* This provides a great public service for those who need quick case and statutory search but don't want to pay lexi$ or we$t for public domain material. ### 5/5 — Login workaround: hit "Go" on the iPad keypad *2014-04-20, version 2.1* For those getting Login crashes, don't hit the Login button. Hit "Go" on the keypad. This is the best legal research app that I'm aware of. It helped me tremendously with my self-defense case and post trial motions. (The criminals got away, if it matters.) Fastcase allows the user to research relevant case law and statutes for any if 50 states, as well as for federal appeals and even U.S. Supreme Court decisions going back to the 1800's. ### 5/5 — This is a great app (revised review) *2014-04-12, version 2.1* Had a problem logging in, but my wife who is an attorney logged in on her phone with my id (she forgot hers and was in a hurry). She didn't log out so that is why it kept crashing when I tried to log in. App works great and is super helpful. Great for anyone doing legal research. ### 5/5 — smanderiii *2012-06-30, version 2.1* Having just started to explore the app, I am already impressed by its completeness and speed, particularly for a free app. Although I've been retired for about seven years now (after an active legal career of 35 years), it seems comparable to the early years of the emergence of computerized legal research (first LEXIS and then WestLaw), and that's without the add-ons available with the optional paid subscription. I no longer have a need for the add-ons, but if I did I would seriously evaluate the full system. ### 5/5 — Can't beat it *2012-01-13, version 2.1* Overall, this is a great app, but I'm writing a review to make some minor suggestions for improvements. First, the email on the website doesn't work, so I couldn't send customer service an email. Second, you can't change your password once you create an account. Please get these fixed. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
