Ratings and reviews

Search option not working. App is very convenient and helpful. But for the past 2 months the search option in "my cases" is not working, in my Samsung Note 10 Lite device, whereas the same feature is working on my friends devices. It had previously worked wonderfully on my mobile. All my friends told me to update the app & phone& I ve down so. I used to frequently use the said option to immediately get tot hw case details ,but now I have to manually go through the whole list of cases manually.

The idea behind this app is definitely a commendable one but the app itself is infuriating. App frequently crashes or won't load. Most of the time when you try to select the case type or court complex, either it would just keep on showing the 'loading' animation or it just won't show list of case types or court complexes! If these issues are fixed, only then I would be able to say this app is truly helpful.

I like this app, it is very convineint, the features like cause list, case status makes it very easy for Advocates to know about the cases but there's alot of need to improve like it needs full speed internet otherwise won't work. When I entered filing no. and the registration no. was yet to be given, it didn't show up. I had to remove the case and re-enter with reg. no. again. Rest, I think so far is really good.
