Ratings and reviews

I've used this app since it was new and eventually paid for the subscription. It's been handy throughout all my career so far and I've recommended it to anyone new starting in the job. It covers all your main offences and more, along with the handy points to prove, defences and things of note. Also gives other guides and tools outside of law and I think an app like this has been needed for a very long time!

Paid for the app some time ago and haven't used it. Recently opened it only to find that any relevant or useful information requires a subscription. The app is a complete waste of time as it is and I will not pay a subscription for an app that I have already paid for. Don't bother downloading unless you're willing to pay the £1.99 a month subscription and even then the layout and presentation of the app is poor.

The developers have basically hidden 99% of the app behind a subscription model, so unless you need the proper basics like the definition of theft, you have to pay for it. Horrendous decision by some money grabbers, it's a massive shame because the app used to be really good. Don't bother downloading the app unless you want to pay £2 a month. The thing is £2 a month is nothing but it's the principle of the decision that is making me uninstall, I'm not helping/supporting these people.
