Sooooo incredibly helpful, finding caselaw in the decades of information available is a part of legal research that could prevent anyone from entering the legal profession if it weren't for the benefits and assistance of fastcase and others like it. I love the get down to it search format and the read aloud option is great making this practical to research anywhere. ....... Thank you so much for the gift of a free app for those with little means and big aspirations to make a difference where there may not have been without this gift, it seems like a small thing but its more valuable than you could ever know. Thanks for providing it and providing it with great functionality to boot.

Pros: Great app with tons of knowledge. Cons: Registration can be troublesome and customer service isn't the greatest. I would give 5 stars if it wasn't for those two issues.

I use it in Virginia where we can utilize the same login as for our free bar account. One can save any searches and then access them by logging into Fastcase via the free bar account to print the cases. When coupled with the also free Easy Virginia Legal Resources app, Virginia lawyers have most of what they need for quick access to legal and research resources for use by mobile devices.

Unfortunately this app is missing the key components that make it valuable. The save, search and exit features are missing g and when I contacted the developer there was no response. I am very disappointed

I'm so glad Fastcase finally showed some love to us Android users. Too bad the app is basically a port of the iPhone app. The real problem is that there is no landscape support. For a phone, that’s not a big deal. But for a tablet, that's a huge pain. Please fix!

I was intrigued to say the least about this applications ability to have access to so many databases and, as far as I can see, they are mostly to date. The settings are slightly cumbersome and the citations could be more concise to ensure validity but I'm excited to find some kind of documentation on common laws and statutes for the common person.

Jurisdiction selection could be more intuitive, but it may prove to be easier with more use. Overall interface is nice & I really like the in-app search feature. Very excited to finally see this app! Note to VA attorneys, you CAN use the app, but you need to click "mobile sync" under options on the website first. Once synced you're golden!

I've been waiting for fastcase to release its android app. Its handy and quick. The browsing menus still need a little work, and the search method is on par with an intro app.
