User Reviews

The iOS reviews show a tool with real value for legal research when it runs, but this value is undercut by chronic instability, outdated data, and login/search issues. Crashes, XML parsing errors, and no saved preferences are the dominant pain points, with many users calling for an update. A few positives note it was strong in the past and that the PC/bar-association experience can be solid, but the mobile app’s reliability issues dominate the sentiment.

Pros

Useful legal research tool when the app is functioning
Historically strong app with a good reputation before stability issues
PC version is favored by some subscribers
Bar association access can make using Fastcase easier

Cons

Frequent crashes and instability, often without warning, causing loss of work and requiring re-login
Data appears outdated/not updated for years and may include XML parsing errors
Sign-in/login issues; need to log in repeatedly and difficulty signing in
Search reliability is poor (XML parsing errors, searches fail or don't load results)
No persistent user preferences; need to reconfigure settings (jurisdiction, etc.) on each use

Recent reviews

A long time ago in a courtroom far far away... This app worked marginally well. Except when it would crash without warning. Now it won't even load search results. All I get now is a pinwheel ever turning. This was a great idea executed horribly. I wish y'all would fix it but that's probably wishful thinking...

I use fastcase through my bar association and have no problems, it is easy to use. This app is not at all user friendly. It crashes and I have tp keep logging in. Frustrating!
