Useful but lacks much
This app is great for viewing documents of all sorts (primary, secondary, etc.), however the biggest issue is that it is not fully integrated with Lexis AI (the browser version of Lexis). This means that if you use Lexis on a browser and then come to the app to look at the same documents, then the app will tell you that the Lexis AI documents (the same primary and secondary sources) are “out of plan,” and then forces the user to search that document again using the older interface of Lexis. Likewise, when you view a document on the app and then go to the browser version, the browser version pulls up the old Lexis interface instead of the Lexus AI interface.
In short, this app could be far better if they just integrated it with the browser interface so that there is no disparity between the two, I.e., they need to make the experience between the app and the browser seamless.

A searching tweak
Overall a very beneficial app. Use it all the time. I actually prefer to do my research on the iPad through this app than to use the website on a PC.
Anyway, we would really appreciate it being possible to filter results from all appellate courts within a jurisdiction without individually selecting all courts.
There are many times I’d love to see results from all circuit courts in the United States but not district courts. Plus, my state has multiple independent appellate courts, and I’d like to search for results from all courts without having to specifically select all of them. It just saves time and effort to have this be an option.
Thanks!

Get Westlaw — stay away from Lexis
This app is useless. I get better legal research just using Google.
Every time I go to do a search I have to restrict my search to my plan. Lexis keeps making me search their entire database.
I select to filter my search to statutes and instead I get a list of cases.
I tried to use the table of contents, but the titles go off the page and there’s no way to slide them over to read them. What use is it if I get an entire list that reads “19.01” and the rest of the number and description is cutoff? I tried turning my iPhone to landscape but the blank spaces just got bigger and everything was still cutoff at the same place.
I was dumb enough to lock myself into a Lexis contract to save a few bucks. I’m going back to Westlaw as soon as I can.
I was in conference on a case where we had a question that had to be looked up. My opposing counsel found the answer on the Westlaw app while I was still trying to apply the filters to only search New York statutes.
If someone at Lexis reads this, I suggest you pay for a Westlaw subscription and use their app and try to imitate them.
Update 11/8/20224
I think I wrote my review about 3 years ago. This morning, Lexis wrote a response to my review. Wow, way to be on top of things Lexis — you only took 3 years. Just one more reason in the column on why Westlaw is better.
