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.

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.

Hi MWWTafuna, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We appreciate you recognizing that TrialPad is a good piece of software, and we understand that pricing is an important factor when choosing legal technology. At LIT SOFTWARE, we work hard to earn and maintain the trust of our customers by continuously improving our apps and ensuring they remain reliable, powerful, and intuitive. TrialPad is an essential tool for presenting evidence at mediation, arbitration, and trial, used by solo practitioners, large law firms, and government agencies alike. The LIT SUITE apps, consisting of TrialPad, TranscriptPad, DocReviewPad, and TimelinePad, is designed to support the entire litigation process. This includes the ability to sync, edit, and present video depositions (saving our users about $300 per deposition), bates stamp and produce thousands of pages of documents, create and present interactive timelines, and much more. Maintaining professional-grade legal software requires ongoing updates and improvements, especially with Apple's frequent iPadOS changes. TrialPad and the other LIT SUITE apps receive regular updates, often monthly, with new features and enhancements based on user feedback. In contrast, the alternative you mentioned has not had a significant update since iPadOS 14 (released in 2020) and has only received six updates since its release. For attorneys and legal professionals committed to delivering the best representation for their clients, investing in reliable, up-to-date tools is crucial. At $600 per year for the entire LIT SUITE, our pricing offers tremendous value compared to other legal software solutions. We are committed to delivering the best litigation technology available, and we hope you'll consider giving TrialPad another look. If you have any questions or feedback, we'd love to hear from you directly. Please feel free to reach out to us at support@litsoftware.com

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

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.

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.

Hi NOLAbrah, Thank you for your review! We agree that the LIT SUITE apps offer great value and are easy to use. If you’re having a reproducible crash, and can give us the steps, we’ll definitely be able to fix it. It may be as simple an issue as storing your Case File on a cloud storage provider, which is not recommended. Please reach out to support@litsoftware.com for fast and friendly email support!

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.

Response from developer

Hi Dux, Thanks for your thoughtful review and suggestions. Collaboration is always something we’re working on, and have introduced the ability to share entire Case Files, annotated transcripts, etc. However, allowing multiple users to work on the same Case File at the same time has some potential pitfalls and would require moving everything to the cloud. And the reason a Case File cannot be stored on Dropbox or other third-party cloud storage providers is that they do not support the Apple package file format. While package files (Case Files) appear to be a single file when viewed on Apple platforms, they actually contain many other files and are represented as a folder on non-Mac computers and most web browsers. If you can let us know the issue you’re having renaming documents with the Mac version we’ll definitely take a look, and if we can reproduce the issue we’ll be able to come up with a fix. The apps are only available as a suite, and our timeline app will become part of that suite at no extra charge for current LIT SUITE subscribers. Thanks for your feedback and please reach out with any questions to support@litsoftware.com

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.

Hi Smith'stunes, Moving to a subscription is a decision we didn’t take lightly and announced it years before we introduced the LIT SUITE with 5 totally new apps that can be used on both an iPad and Mac. The LIT SUITE offers tremendous value when you consider the next nearest trial presentation program has a subscription that is twice as expensive, just for one program. We additionally made sure that our legacy users would receive a discount on the new apps that is commensurate with the amount they paid for the legacy apps. The LIT SUITE apps have significantly better features and capabilities than our legacy apps. One of the new features is the greatly expanded import options, which are available because we integrated our apps with Apple’s Files app. While our customers now have many more import options (including importing from a USB drive, and using drag and drop capabilities) it has become obvious that some of the third party cloud storage providers did a better job at integrating their apps with the Files app than others. For example, Box, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneDrive did a great job and work very well transferring files. However, Dropbox and Citrix Files did not implement the integration well and continue to have technical issues and a poor user experience that has nothing to do with our apps and therefore is not something we can fix.

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

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?
