## Review summary

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reviews show a tool with real value for legal research when it runs, but this value is undercut by chronic instability, outdated data, and login/search issues.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- Data appears outdated/not updated for years and may include XML parsing errors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
