Just light $5 on fire

...and you would experience more utility than this app provides. Without a doubt this is the most useless lawyer app I have ever seen. I’ll be asking for a refund.
Disappointed

How disappointing. First app I've ever purchased that simply does not work, either on my iPhone or my iPad. Usual troubleshooting does nothing. I hope this is only a momentary glitch. I had high expectations based on WolframAlpha's other resources.
it crashed

When the app installed, all appeared fine. Now it freezes at the main window. Not much use for this.
no care for users

there was not a single update to a $5 app for a long time.. outdated information is as good as no information. 90% of data is accessible with general wolfram alpha app, financial calculators need some functionality added to take care of specific calculations, tax info is from 2011, reference data :( in a way, there is nothing in here..
Disappointment

Wow, messed up on this one. Should have read whole review in legal guide before purchasing. Figured they were giving a positive review not negative. SOL section, really gives like 8 examples from Utah. Legal dictionary, from my first searches most words were not included that's searched for. No search option had to go to a letter in alphabet then scroll down the words. What a joke..
Not Useful—Very Disappointed

I rarely write reviews, but I wanted to warn others against buying an app that does not provide much that a good pocket calculator and Google search can't do. The tools that this app has are not useful for the vast majority of legal possessional, because they are never applicable to our day-to-day work (e.g. a cost of living calculator) and the few that one might use, provide insufficient information with insffuicent sourcing making them virtually useless. While it is from the people behind the fantastic Wolfram Alpha search engine, the results are nearly identical to what would get from using the website. It's a wonderful idea, but really disappointing that it isn't useful for the professional.
