Not great
Our company really likes Practice Panther in general but the phone based app is terrible (at least for iPhone). The interface is buggy and it’s more trouble than it’s worth to try and use on the road. Most of us just wait until we’re back in the office on the PC to input our time/info.
Missing basic functions
Basic stuff like clicking into a task doesn’t work. If what you’re wanting to do is look at a list, it works. If you’re wanting to actually work, go back to the website.
work from anywhere
the practicepanther platform itself is already really easy to use, but the mobile app is even easier. being able enter time while im traveling and review case notes directly from my phone has saved me a lot of time and headaches.
Couldn’t work remotely without PracticePanther
The app allows me to track my time while I’m away from the office which I often am. I can also pull up all my case information for easy access, having my whole caseload on my phone has been amazing.
Needs bug fixes
The app looks exactly like in your browser. It would function better to focus on actions needed for mobile devices rather than robustness. Unfortunately many features of app do not function properly:
1) Documents are inaccessible through app. This was mentioned in other reviews and makes it nearly impossible to function as needed.
2) document uploading crashes. The app allows three options: from Files app, take a photo, and from photo library. Unfortunately the app crashes every time except when uploaded from the photo library.
3) Text messaging. This feature does not function. Selecting the text message has no response from the app, nothing happens.
4) No updates. No bug fixes or new versions in years does not keep up with changes in PP software.
***Please consider comments in reviews and provide updates and bug fixes for attorneys relying on your service to manage their cases.***

The App consistently has problems
What I notice most is that the App will not function the same as when I am on a desktop. Namely, it simply will not access parts of the platform and refuses completely to access documents saved in OneDrive. That alone makes it useless as the only reason to have such a program is remote access to the file.

Best app ever!
So easy to use and not missing any features! Thank you!
Amazing app and company
Great productivity tool for myself and my firm - definitely worth the switch from Clio
This app is exactly what I needed
This app is exactly what I was looking for. I was forced to log in remotely to my server to access my clients information on the go until I started using PracticePanther.
I can easily enter new clients, access my financials, send documents and track my AR from the app — GAMECHANGER!!
I recommend this app to anyone who needs to manage their clients but is not glued to their office/ desk

App adds no functionality whatsoever
Really? The entire app is just a WebView? Come on, whatever app developer PracticePanther hired should do better than the absolute bare minimum. I get the exact same functionality just logging on using Safari. At least add something useful, like receiving a notification whenever a message is received.

Major improvements and so easy to use
This app has come a long way since its beginnings. Much easier to use and more helpful features. Overall, I just love being able to access all my case data no matter where I am.
Great for solo practitioners
Well organized. Used with free 7 day trial.
Improving with each update
I haven’t used the app as much as I have in the past due to working from home during the pandemic, but it’s always been a great way to stay on top of my existing clients when I’m traveling. The star of the show for me is when the sms text messaging automation was added as it helped me stay in constant contact with my clients. Great support and an even better desktop experience makes me a happy camper!

Most Efficient Legal Management Software
The most efficient legal software management app out there. I highly recommend all firms in the industry to use this to stay organized and on top of cases/matters. Everything seems to be super automated and the app just does it for you. It is very much an all-in-one solution. It runs very smoothly and the support team is always there to help you along the way if I have any questions.

Great product
Have been using Practice Panther for a while now and I love it. No issues so far and makes my work much smoother.
So much better than before…
The Practice Panther team has stepped up their game! Their updated app is more responsive and functional than their previous editions. The app is great for managing our cases while I’m running between appointments. I look forward to putting this to better use when I travel with my family this coming year!

Everything our firm needs
PracticePanther has made it so easy for our firm to easily manage contacts, matters, client communication, and especially our billing and invoicing. We're currently a small firm but having been growing pretty rapidly and PracticePanther has facilitated a lot of that growth. Our clients love it, and our paralegals have been able to learn the system so quickly.

Staying with Practice Panther
After trying out a few other practice management offerings we are definitely sticking with Practice Panther. Great functionality, support, embedded payments, etc.
Potential is there but execution is poor
Inertia: The only thing preventing our law firm from changing away from PracticePanther to a different software platform.
This app is filled with potential but the team at PracticePanther fails to listen to their most loyal customers. As the managing partner of a midsize law firm, I’ve been using PracticePanther firmwide for three years. During that time I’ve made countless suggestions ranging from basic bug fixes to small feature additions that would make the software much more usable.
As just one example of their buffoonery, I suggested more than six months ago that they update the mobile app to provide push notifications whenever a client sends a text message through PracticePanther‘s business texting feature. After all, what good is a mobile app if the attorneys and paralegals involved on a matter have to be sitting at their desk and logged into PracticePanther to monitor for incoming client text messages. To date, PracticePanther has failed to implement this minor change. Instead, as has been my experience over the last three years, the company deployed a sub par new feature and, without regard for client feedback, moved on to what will undoubtedly be their next effort to put lipstick on this proverbial pig.

Don’t walk, run.
If you need to use this to bill your time (and most attorneys do, of course), you will hate it. They clearly rushed this thing out without testing it with actual attorneys. I’ve used ancient timekeeping software that was light years ahead of this in terms of usability. There are lots of other features, but a timekeeping program that doesn’t work well to keep time is like a car with all the bells and whistles but no engine.
