Great update!

I use the app all the time for depos and trial. It works great on zoom and in court. The new update makes it even easier to go from the computer to the iPad.

My Legal Magic Wand

I have been using Trial Pad for years. It is, and has always been, almost magical in helping me present evidence to the court. I have impressed judge after judge with the effortless use and convincing presentation. It is intuitive and powerful at the same time. It isn’t cheap, but for trial presentation when millions of dollars are on the line, it is a bargain. Will never go to trial without it as long as its available.

Easy and effective

I use this software in every trial and love it. It is functional and easy to use and very effective. I highly recommend recommended!

Use iTrial for trial presentation instead

Trialpad is a good piece of software, but it is no longer available as a standalone application. The publisher wants $600 per year to subscribe to Trialpad and other applications that most people neither need nor use. This just shows hostility toward the user and as a result they lost me as a customer.

Use iTrial instead. It has good features, it’s easy to use, and the price is at least tolerable.

Annoyed

Spent a lot of money on the app for it to be made basically useless to get you to buy a new app and pay a crazy subscription price

Love it

Love the design and utility of this applicaiton. Would definately recommed it to any lawyer friends that I have

If Iron-Man's suit were made for trial lawyers...

...this would be it. I have used a LOT of software in the decades that I've been trying cases, and this is the best: fast, intuitive, clear and powerful. Plus, it works on a Mac! Buy it now, thank me later.

Amazing

Amazing and at 10% the price of other litigation software!

Crashes routinely but consistently

This app is pretty straightforward to use, not as expensive or complex as others out there (positives, in my view), has the basic functions you need to present exhibits in trial, and is relatively inexpensive. One frustration is that it regularly crashes shortly after opening it or shortly after really putting it to use. This usually only happens once a day early on, but it's happened at some very inopportune times. Thankfully it starts back up quickly, I've never lost my work, and it's been easy to recover. Still, fix the bugs please! It happens consistently.

Good apps - I would like to see one thing added to the mix…

These are good apps, no question. I’m not aware of any significant competition? What I would like to see is an extensive “how to” presentation prepared by Lit Software [i.e., actual pre-trial and trial DEMOs/video(s)] - everything (all app features) being used from A to Z in a real-world case scenario (e.g., a criminal case). A *visual* walk-through. Not piecemeal video clips and/or customer use (written) summaries. This should come from the app creator. Thank you…

Great app, weak bundle

I’m a litigator, and TrialPad cuts prep time for hearings, mediations, and trials way down compared to PowerPoint, etc. Huge time saver.

Suggestions: At this price point, collaboration features should be better. TrialPad should allow multiple users to work on a presentation at the same time. Ability to store the TrialPad file on cloud services other than iCloud, e.g., OneDrive, SharePoint, or Dropbox, would be nice as well. Also, the Mac version is glitchy, especially when renaming documents.

The bundled apps don’t add nearly the value that TrialPad provides. I’d rather see it priced separately, as I don’t and won’t use DocumentReviewPad or TranscriptPad. They’ve been promising a timeline app for years, but they haven’t delivered.

So, 4 stars. Great app but room for improvement.

Disappointing Approach

Its very disappointing that LitSoft discontinued support for its earlier version after conspicuously advertising a onetime fee. The new version also appears more cumbersome. It was once a beautiful product.

TrialPad on my MacBook!

The desktop version is hands down the best app for Mac users. It has improved our workflow immediately. The support has been superb, personal and extremely helpful. I can’t wait to see how this suite continues to develop.

Great Product

The newest version works great. I used in in arbitration depositions and trial. It allows me to compete against the big firms. In my last arbitration the other side brought a tech to assist. My presentation was smoother and faster without a tech by using Trial Pad.

Disappointed

I purchased the original TrialPad app several years ago for around $100. I used it occasionally, moving documents easily via dropbox. I liked the highlighting feature and the ability to do a call out. Now it appears what I thought I owned for $100 has been rendered useless, and replaced by a $400 a year subscription. Moreover, the subscription version is far more complex to use.

Unreliable and overpriced.

The original version of this app was useful, if a bit basic; however, the price reflected that fact. The new version is unreliable, difficult to use, and is grossly overpriced for what it does. Save your money and look elsewhere.

BEST Trial Presentation Software on the market!

I run a litigation support firm, and have used several trial presentation software products. TrialPad is by FAR the best in the industry! Furthermore, while other developers are abandoning their software because the industry is so niche, LIT SOFTWARE is actively developing to make their product(s) better and easier to use. I am incredibly happy with this software and with the developer’s responsiveness and receptiveness to feedback. 10/10

Awesome tools for litigators

Outstanding and robust softwares since the introduction of MacOS Apps in October 2022.

File importation

Had issues with file importation. App has changed, but Tara scheduled a zoom call, and was MORE than helpful getting me up to speed on the changes.

Confused & Disappointed

I purchase TrialPad and it worked for a while but now when I try to upload a file from Dropbox I cannot because of an error loading app info message. I have deleted and reinstall Dropbox several times just in case that was the problem but the problem still lingers on. I have searched in the app store for the version of TrialPad that I recently paid for but could not find it and instead found something that require a more than $300 subscription and no way to contact anyone to see what is going on. Did the TrialPad I purchase get discontinued?
