### 4/5 — Great but can I suggest an improvement?

*2021-09-21, version 3.0.0*

This is a great app for keeping up with case law. The summaries of the case law are thorough and very helpful. I just wish there was a way to highlight cases after reading them which would allow the user to keep track of the most pertinent cases or cases they thought they might need later.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2018-06-13, version 2.0.1*

Highly recommended to keep up with recent law items, or quickly browse/reference an Act.

### 5/5 — Very Well Done

*2016-01-16, version 1.1*

Truly one of the most helpful and civilised apps I have ever had the pleasure of using. The Judicial Commission ought to be thoroughly congratulated for this effort as well as for the ideals behind the provision of such an app.

### 5/5 — Helpful App

*2012-09-27, version 1.0*

Finally this app has come out! It has helped me with my daily work patterns immensely and has made it easier for me to keep my mind updated with the latest scenario's in law. It has outstanding display which makes this app easy to decipher information from. If this app is kept updated and keeps up with modern technology, it will surely be a success in the near future.
