### 4/5 — "State Statute & Federal Law" app

*2025-02-19, version 14.40.00*

Regarding the 
"State Statute & Federal Law" app, 
and also so far, TWO of their "Complete Sets".

If not for the notes in the caveat section below, I would give this app 6 or 7 STARS.

FUNCTIONALITY/ESTHETICS: 6 STARS
--Very well organized;

--Excellent screen and information layouts,
    and labels/descriptions,
    resulting in great ease of use - the app designer clearly cares about the organized and visual ease of use of their "State Statute & Federal Law" app;

--New Super Important Feature: easy to copy text from the app for use in other documents;

--Extremely helpful attractive icons including both the main home screen icon, AND the icons inside the app, of the different collections of statutes and codes;

--"State Statute & Federal Law" app arguably has some of the BEST LOOKING ICONS of any apps: strong subtle icon images with great coloring.

CUSTOMER SERVICE/TECH HELP: 7 STARS
--Absolutely Exemplary! It is difficult to imagine better tech support than I received when I recently had an issue. Kaboserv.com Development LLC's tech support quickly and helpfully replied to my questions, AND provided solutions, and provided multiple solution paths, AND provided additional informations beyond my direct questions that led to my being able to SMOOTHLY SOLVE the problem I was experiencing.  Tech support was EXCELLENT and helped solve the app issue I was having QUICKLY and SMOOTHLY.

RECOMMENDATION CAVEAT:
Their privacy policy is disappointing, including that they assert that they can turn off, or even remove documents/document subscriptions that one has already purchased / subscribed to..

So these points should be taken into account, noting that these aspects are unfortunately counter to being pro-privacy, and pro-freedom, which are important issues, which are increasing in importance in these times/our times of changes.

SUGGESTIONS:
1. I would suggest the developer to remove the offensive privacy issues, AND INSTEAD build more sales by CREATING MORE SET PACKAGES that could be purchased from the developer. (for instance: 
---UCC, 
---various UN codes, 
---International codes, 
---other country codes, 
---city codes, 
---township/county regulations, etc. 
---even ancient and other historical codes could be made into for sale PACKAGE SETS).
2. Subscriptions ending should not effect items that have been already downloaded:  just exactly as I do not want the publishers of my magazine subscriptions, removing my subscribed older issues from my bookshelves or waiting room. While I would happily pay for annual subscriptions for updates and for additional statutes and codes sets, paying to not have already paid for and received subscription removed, decreases not increases my long term ownership/collection/purchase decisions and actions.

SUMMATION:
I have multiple of their "complete sets" and
I find them to be VERY Helpful.
So despite,
The privacy issues policy being poor,
The app functionality is EXCELLENT
The tech help is superbly EXCELLENT
The visual look of the app is EXCELLENT

If not for the caveats above I would give this app 6 or 7 STARS.

If you are concerned about tech support with this app, I can assure you my recent experience with the tech support/app developer was/has been EXCELLENT.

Hope this helps.

### 2/5 — No app support

*2024-11-14, version 14.33.00*

Title 75 does not display the table of contents page or the definitions section 102. The developers offer no support page and do not respond to posted comments page either.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2019-12-04*

One of the best purchases i have ever made. Would recommend this to all law enforcement! Extremely useful and helpful especially when a title 39 or 2C book isn’t with you on scene!

### 1/5 — Sneaky

*2019-11-20, version 1.03*

Very sneaky of the owner of this app to basically trick everyone to upgrade and when you upgrade you now have to pay. I don’t mind paying the 2.99 but it was done sneaky and now I lost all my favorites and notes. I would have paid the annual fee no problem but now I lost all my favorites and notes. VERY SNEAKY

### 5/5 — Life saver

*2019-11-19, version 1.02*

I use this almost app all the time and it makes life so much easier. Developer is very responsive and helpful as well.

### 5/5 — Title 39 App

*2019-11-15, version 1.02*

Great app, been using it for years. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Absolutely Essential

*2019-11-10*

This app is absolutely essential for officers who need quick and reliable information on the fly. $2.99/year is the price of a single coffee. That is an extremely small price for such a great application. At the end of the day the owner needs to be able to keep his product on the market at a sustainable price. 

Ignore the complainers who are upset about the way online market works nowadays. Don’t get upset with the owner, get upset with the system that forces owners to make these difficult decisions.

### 5/5 — Love the new update

*2019-11-09*

Great app. For people complaining about the cost, it’s $0.25 a month. You’re telling me these people leaving bad reviews can’t afford that? I’d rather pay to have quick access than look up the info in a book or online. Last I checked, you have to also pay for updates when you purchase the book for new content. So this is an easier and cheaper alternative. Extremely thankful that an app like this exists. New update has a clean and organized look. 👍🏼

### 1/5 — Scammed

*2019-11-09, version 1.02*

Complete scam that my app was working fine until I decided to update and then it was erased. I get that constantly updating the app is costly but you could have let us keep the old version and provided no further updates.  I paid for both Title 39 and 2C and now have nothing to show for it. So to the developers a big F U back!

### 5/5 — Scammer

*2019-11-08*

The developer just put out an “update” that killed his past app that I PAID for. He couldn’t at least have given a warning or kept the old app functional. He blamed Apple but it’s nothing but a money grab.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2025-09-20*

I wanted to see if this app provided me any additional information that I haven’t stumbled upon on the web. So I figured I’d give this app and chance and signed up for the 3 day trial.  I go through the process to iniate the trial through the App Store and received notification I was good to go.  So I log back onto the app and it’s still acting as if I didn’t sign up. So if I cancelled.  I’m not wasting my time figuring out how to make the thing work when thousands upon thousands of other apps don’t seem to have usability issues.  Maybe when the owners of this app finish middle school I’ll reconsider.

### 1/5 — Am I missing something?

*2024-04-13, version 14.31.00*

Why isn’t Alabama listed?

### 1/5 — The sleeze is real

*2023-02-12, version 14.22.01*

Really? $5 a month to have a copy of laws you could literally get yourself if you look online?

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2020-12-21, version 9.20.2*

A keyword search, probably the most important feature of an app like this, is beyond terrible. It defeats the whole purpose of purchasing an app like this. Google works much better and faster. Save your money.

### 1/5 — Scammed previous customers

*2020-08-12, version 7.0*

Before the update this app was Pay one time app. 
Customers were forced to update the app making it useless. Now they want existing customers to re-purchase the app. Douche move.  I’ll stick with my title 39 handy book.

### 1/5 — Underhanded and Deceptive

*2020-01-03*

OK, I get it. It’s expensive to keep the statutes current, and to keep the app up to date as operating systems update. Sure, an annual subscription makes more sense in that context than a one-time purchase. The loser move was forcibly wiping the old app as part of an “update” with zero warning. You could have posted a notice or an annoying pop-up telling us it was no longer supported, and to switch over to the new app before an OS update renders the old app completely useless, and then just let it die in due course. But now it’s forced, and on top of that your users have to rebuild their favorites from scratch without being able to refer back to the old data. One terrible decision lost you a lot of goodwill earned from an otherwise excellent service.

### 1/5 — Poor business practice

*2019-11-30, version 2.0*

Purchased the app several years ago. One day on patrol I go to open the Title 75 app and I now tells me I need to pay $2.99 per year per app! No way! Already paid for it.

### 1/5 — Force update that renders app useless

*2019-11-22*

Yeah the developer worked hard updating the app, which is why people paid for it. Totally messed up to kill the app and make us pay yearly subscription to get what we already paid for back. A discount, free year for those that bought the app previously, or even a refund on those apps would have been acceptable than just killing the app without warning...

### 1/5 — Massive failure

*2019-11-21*

I do not mind paying the $2.99 a year for the  subscription, hell I pay more for coffee in a day. However I refuse to do so because of the way this developer went about the sneaky “update” which wiped the old app and forces you to pay the $2.99.   I thought maybe if I restored purchases maybe I would receive my old apps free for a year, nope. Developer should have advised existing customers of what the new update would do to the app. I understand that updates aren’t free and take time but the way the update was done was sketchy. I will just go with google which is free.

### 1/5 — Really not cool to change the app without warning

*2019-11-21*

I’m totally fine with paying $2.99/yr for updates. But to push an update and render the original app (which I paid for) useless is ridiculous and underhanded. I understand it takes work to update these things as often as the developer does, however a warning before updating was the least he could have done prior to forcing an update which rendered my original app useless. Disappointing move by an otherwise fantastic developer.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-11-08, version 14.33.00*

Very useful app, developers keep up with updates frequently.

### 5/5 — MUST HAVE APP FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROFESSIONALS

*2023-02-21*

a must and mandatory app to have for criminal justice professionals. Has all the case law and allows for key search words throughout the entire statute. Definitely worth the yearly purchase which include updates to new revisions. Can’t beat it. Thank you to the developer/s of the app.

### 5/5 — Highly recommend

*2021-10-12*

A lot of reviews people are complaining about the cost, but it’s 100% worth it. Not to mention the developer is constantly making changes for the better and thats not free lol this app is super conveniant and has been nothing short of fantastic. The developer is quick to resolve any issues and the customer service is great.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for the kind words and your support! We truly appreciate you recognizing the work that goes into keeping the app current and continually improving it. We’re glad to hear the app has been a valuable resource for you.

### 5/5 — Good app for state statues

*2020-01-25, version 5.52*

Not a fan of subscriptions but it's the nature of the beast. This is a good app for state statues that gets updated regularly. Only thing I see wrong is the NJ titling is incorrect. Currently it say title 39 is criminal and 2C is traffic code. After re installing the issue has been corrected. Thanks for the quick updates and timely feedback.

### 5/5 — Law Enforcement Recommended

*2020-01-17, version 5.51*

This app is always up-to-date with the new changes in PA law. Great tool.

### 5/5 — CI

*2020-01-05*

Is there any when you preform an update that we can keep any titles that we put in our favorites. Once you update the app you loose all your favorties.

**Developer response:** Updated Reply:
Per your suggestion - version 5.01 adds a feature to manually backup/restore favorites in the case of a software error upon update. 
Original Reply:
The favorites should persist. You shouldn’t lose anything on data updates. Can you email with some specifics? IE, title, etc?

### 5/5 — Great App

*2019-12-30*

The app has always been a great resource, easy to use and well worth the money. Customer support is fair and reasonable and I’m very satisfied with my experience. Thank you

**Developer response:** please contact me via email.

### 5/5 — Support the creator

*2019-12-08*

This app has been extremely useful. The change from the old app was unfortunate, but we as consumers need to realize it wasn’t his fault. He’s done a great job!

### 5/5 — More Titles?

*2019-12-06, version 2.50*

I like this app. Don’t mind the $3 per year; it’s well worth it. Can you add NJ Title 23 for fish & game?

### 5/5 — Very useful and Easy

*2019-12-05*

This app is very cheap and helpful for law enforcement. Instead of searching the statue in a book or asking others, it is on the tip of your fingers and easy to find. I could not find an easier app for Title 39 and use it as a learning guide as well. Def recommend for others.
