Needs to be user-friendly
Here are eight dead simple tweaks Tekk Innovations can make to their LawStack apps to bring about major improvements in user-friendliness:
1. Use iCloud to back up bookmarks not just as app data in our backups.
2. Fix the numerous broken links all over sections referencing different sections, and clean up formatting.
3. Allow us to write our own notes in each section, title, chapter, etc. and sync that with iCloud so we do not lose them when switching devices.
4. Add relevant pictures beside the titles so we don't have to go up and down scrolling to find which part of our state's laws we often reference. They have handcuffs for the Penal Code and a car for the Vehicle Code on those smaller apps; why not as a handy guide in the $29.99/yr apps?
5. Start including tracking, or case, numbers, when contacting support so as to make it easier to maintain contact about the issue, especially if it's a content error or an annoying bug in the app which diminishes its quality and worthiness of paying as much as $29.99 plus tax year after year to keep everything up to date!
6. Add a PDF and a DOCX exporting feature so the app would be useful beyond our iOS/Android devices. I have been asking for this since I've paid over $300 for twelve state law apps in July of 2016, which I'll have to pay again this July to keep all the laws current! I don't want to copy and paste everything one section after one section after one section!
7. Let us view one title all at once! This one's REALLY dead simple! I'm getting tired of having to back out of every section to look at another one, like robbery in the first degree after I look at robbery in the second or third degree! Also, let us view an entire chapter on the same screen!
8. Integrate the app with Windows and macOS web browsers such as Edge, Google Chrome and Safari. We can manage our subscriptions on our desktops once we sign in, why not be able to log in and use our iOS/Android apps on Windows or macOS, or Chrome OS, or Linux?
I'll check back on December 31 next year and see how far LawStack has come with innovating their state law apps before I consider paying over $300 to renew my subscriptions on my twelve state law apps each year. That's a lot of money, especially by iOS/Android app standards, even if the $29.99 included data updates and free customer support for life!

Don't buy this app unless you have money to burn
If you purchase this app, it is only brought up to 2012 law. You then have to pay an additional 30 immediately after downloading to bring the law up to the present. Who wants outdated law?? I'd get laughed out of the courtroom. So the price listed should really say $60.00 up front. Ridiculous. Ps the review made me list it at one star. It doesn't even deserve that.

Worth the $
This is by far the best app for North Carolina statutory law, and it easily pays for itself in an everyday law practice. My biggest complaint is the lack of any official comments. Many statutes, like the UCC for example, have additional comments that are frequently used as guidance to lawyers and judges (and frequently cited in briefs and opinions for that matter). But you won't find the Official Commentaries in this app (or the comments specifically pertaining to the NC versions of the UCC).
I hope to see more NC apps from this publisher in the future--such as the North Carolina Administrative Code, in particular.
