North Carolina Law (LawStack Series‪)‬ 4+

Here are eight dead simple tweaks Tekk Innovations can make to their LawStack apps to bring about major improvements in user-friendliness:

1. Use iCloud to back up bookmarks not just as app data in our backups.

2. Fix the numerous broken links all over sections referencing different sections, and clean up formatting.

3. Allow us to write our own notes in each section, title, chapter, etc. and sync that with iCloud so we do not lose them when switching devices.

4. Add relevant pictures beside the titles so we don't have to go up and down scrolling to find which part of our state's laws we often reference. They have handcuffs for the Penal Code and a car for the Vehicle Code on those smaller apps; why not as a handy guide in the $29.99/yr apps?

5. Start including tracking, or case, numbers, when contacting support so as to make it easier to maintain contact about the issue, especially if it's a content error or an annoying bug in the app which diminishes its quality and worthiness of paying as much as $29.99 plus tax year after year to keep everything up to date!

6. Add a PDF and a DOCX exporting feature so the app would be useful beyond our iOS/Android devices. I have been asking for this since I've paid over $300 for twelve state law apps in July of 2016, which I'll have to pay again this July to keep all the laws current! I don't want to copy and paste everything one section after one section after one section!

7. Let us view one title all at once! This one's REALLY dead simple! I'm getting tired of having to back out of every section to look at another one, like robbery in the first degree after I look at robbery in the second or third degree! Also, let us view an entire chapter on the same screen!

8. Integrate the app with Windows and macOS web browsers such as Edge, Google Chrome and Safari. We can manage our subscriptions on our desktops once we sign in, why not be able to log in and use our iOS/Android apps on Windows or macOS, or Chrome OS, or Linux?

I'll check back on December 31 next year and see how far LawStack has come with innovating their state law apps before I consider paying over $300 to renew my subscriptions on my twelve state law apps each year. That's a lot of money, especially by iOS/Android app standards, even if the $29.99 included data updates and free customer support for life!

**** DISCLAIMER TO ALL USERS OF THIS APP: Although this app is an excellent resource to have "in the pocket," it should not be considered a definitive source of authority. This should only be used as a quick guide, and definitive authority should only be taken from the printed version published by the State of North Carolina. ****

As a Law Enforcement Officer I find this to be a very handy resource to have "in the pocket." It is handy to quickly look up laws governing specific items. It definitely saves carrying a big book when talking with individuals on the street, not to mention that it's a lot easier to search through than an inch-thick book. The interface is very fast and scrolling is smooth. My only suggestion would be to add a means to get to the top of a list quickly instead of backward scrolling (a double-tap on the top of the screen similar to that used in Safari to return to the top of a web page).

Although I realize that this app required a lot of resources to compile and publish, I hope that updates are timely and accurate.

As I use this app I will add additional review updates. For now, let me say this is a great app!!!

It is very convenient and easy to use.
