You’re good people

The app is fully functional and allows me to have a case loaded on my iPad while I draft on my computer. However, I would like to see Westlaw updated to take advantage of the multiple windows iOS 13 makes available. It would be much more powerful if I could have notes of decisions in one window and open specific cases side by side, for example.


Does what it needs to do

Works well when I need to pull up research quickly

Only complaint is there’s a weird stripe on the right side of the display when I use my iPad.


Mobile experience is terrible

stephen_creason

While Westlaw is unquestionable the superior legal research tool on the desktop internet, it’s barely useable on mobile via this app or the mobile web. Westlaw just doesn’t seem to care about providing even a minimally acceptable mobile experience. This app is about 5-10 years behind where it should be, which is inexcusable for a company with such a sophisticated (and expensive) product. It’s too bad, because every attorney wants a fully functional legal research tool that’s integrated across all of the platforms we use, especially iPad. This is not that tool, for sure.


Pretty terrible for a professional app

Pretty terrible for a professional app.


Unusable

Danimal1968

Crashes as soon as I try to retrieve a case. Completely useless.


Don’t bother

SC Lawyer

Very poor functionality. Better to use the laptop and save the phone for a mobile hotspot. Keeps signing out. Difficulty signing in. Can’t scroll through results. Filters don’t work. Poor design.


Worthless

Dockets are not available.


Truly terrible

Karl Dreeves

The Westlaw website is bad, and this app somehow manages to be even worse. It is very slow, documents often don’t load, and the interface is poor. Of course, the necessity of an app at all is a problem. There should be no reason why the website itself can’t be programmed to work in Safari on an iPad.


Change went from 5 to 1

Why have an app if no one in your organization understands the app and can assist with it. Please fix it back the way it was prior to this terrible update.
