Westlaw for Positive User Reviews
✓ ?Only complaint is there’s a weird stripe on the right side of the display when I use my iPad..Version: 6.3.1
✓ Needs a lot of TLCAs a final year Law student with an English degree and five years of experience working in online comms, I can offer a descriptive list on the many aspects of this app requiring some TLC. Starting with the login issues mentioned in all the reviews. Is there someone at Reuters reading the comments and open to working together to improve this? This app is necessary! Cheers! P.S. I don’t care if this sounded like a a cover letter - just looking to fix this..Version: 7.0.3
✓ ImpressiveI like this app. They've gone for simple and clear. You can highlight and add notes and save cases to an offline mode. It's great for study. Recommend to westlaw users.Version: 2.9.0
✓ You’re good peopleThe app is fully functional and allows me to have a case loaded on my iPad while I draft on my computer. However, I would like to see Westlaw updated to take advantage of the multiple windows iOS 13 makes available. It would be much more powerful if I could have notes of decisions in one window and open specific cases side by side, for example..Version: 6.2.3
✓ Good for paralegal studentI’m only new to law, I’m a paralegal student. The app has been of great help when brainstorming when I’m out and about, with an assignment on my mind, and unable to access my computer. However, one feature that’d be nice to have at hand would be the ability to narrow down searches in cited cases to statutes and such, such as “word/term search” and “reported or unreported”; the app seems a little cramped to add something like that, but perhaps on the left there could be a tab that one could click that’d open up upon the screen with those search elements, then one could hit “search” on the bottom and it’d narrow it down. Just a suggestion, but I must say this app gets it done in a pinch. Thank you.Version: 6.0.1
✓ Good!Can’t speak to how it was before, but as of this review the app, in my opinion, is almost as readily accessible as is the website..Version: 7.1.0
✓ Great App, but for the cost of Westlaw it better be...This app is truly amazing. The notation options, the folders, the offline sync - at this point I can't think of anything different I would do. But as I eluded to in my title, for the obscene amount of money that I pay Westlaw every month for the privilege of having access to public documents, this app had better be amazing. To their credit, I have several other apps for which I subscribe to a service and they are subpar in every regard (I won't name names. Yet...) Bravo for getting this right. The entire Westlaw Next feature is so much nicer than the original Westlaw we had back in law school, I can't even imagine trying to use a mobile app with Westlaw classic....Version: 2.9.2
✓ MagnificentHonestly, the first product that I can call utterly perfect. Thank you..Version: 5.1.0
✓ Good for students in a pinchIf you don’t have access to a computer, this app works perfectly fine. I would not advise highlighting or making notes, but in terms of accessing cases and adding them to designated folders there’s really no difference between this and the regular website other than this being slower to navigate..Version: 7.2.0
✓ So happyI am a 2L and just got an iPad to allow me to be more flexible in where and how I work. This app allows me to do that and more. I just started using it, but am so impressed and happy with its functionality. Some of the beyond-basic features that I was not expecting: option to save documents offline, wireless printing, truly intuitive interface, incredibly fast, great search functionality. I haven't come across a feature yet that I needed that wasn't there. Only note is that the highlight feature is a little weird to get used to. Sometimes it only gives copy options at first and not highlight/note options for text. But once you get used to it, not a problem. Great app!!.Version: 3.2.0
✓ Incredibly powerful and user friendly!The WestlawNext App takes an already great research platform and makes it even better! WLN is one of the first apps I downloaded onto my IPad 2 and I have found it be extremely versatile, user friendly and seamless in terms of organizing my research. Since I travel a lot, I don’t always have access to my PC to log onto WLN. I find the App is incredibly helpful when I need to do a quick search or retrieve a document right away. The highlighting and foldering also work wonderfully on the App, making it a natural for the IOS platform and the IPad. I’ve also found updates to be easy, reliable and efficient. My IPad just alerted me last night to the 2.2 upgrade and was able to do so within seconds. Finally, I love the synchronicity between moving between my IPad to my PC and having my research organized..Version: 2.2.0
✓ ExcellentNOTE: This review is for Westlaw subscribers. If you don't have Westlaw access, you will NOT be able to use this app. I think this probably explains the 1-star ratings. Westlaw is a paid service - if you want to do free case research, may I suggest that Google Scholar works in iPad web browsers. That said: This app is fantastic. It has an excellent interface and fully utilizes the WestlawNext functionality, which makes a lot of searching go a lot faster that the regular Westlaw interface. And it hasn't crashed on me at all. My only concern would be cost - this app makes exploring docs so quick, if I weren't a student with free access I could run up a large bill pretty quickly!.Version: 2.0.4
✓ The Westlaw App is AwesomeThe Westlaw App is a must for legal researchers and practicing lawyers. With ease of use and simplicity the application provides the most comprehensive legal research tool available..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Problems signing in.This app is my dream come true. However how do l login using the Athens password?.Version: 2.4.0
✓ Does what it needs to doWorks well when I need to pull up research quickly.Version: 6.2.3
✓ Best app I haveRecently, I bought an iPad just for annotating PDFs since my tablet PC was too heavy, even at 4 pounds. The annotator app, however, did not fulfill my expectations. I decided to return it because I could not justify the near $1000 cost versus utility. Over the weekend, I was researching Westlawnext in conjunction with my tablet as well as the ipad (for my gawd awful memo), and as I used each machine, the other would log me out. Frustrated, I discovered that a newly updated app was available. Within 5 minutes of use, the utility easily justified keeping the iPad. Of the three options, I prefer WestlawNext and my only gripe is how excruciating slow it is, which is completely unrelated to either processing power or internet connection speeds. This apps is blazing fast in comparison. The layout and folder options are superior to the web version. Highlighting and annotating are a snap. Long story short, I am keeping the iPad just for the sole purpose of using Westlawnext. In fact, I finished reading and annotating ALL my cases in half the time it takes me with the web version. While it could be the typical disgruntled law students, I not sure why the older version received such poor ratings, but this must be a drastic improvement if it did such that much. The speed alone is worth it -well, it is free. Honestly, I would have paid $100+ for it. Although I'll be sure to paying far more for it in years to come. ;).Version: 2.0.3
✓ Dark ModePlease, for the love of God (and every young, embryonic attorney who is burning the midnight oil to stay caught up and pass exams)—enable dark mode. Please. Otherwise, the app is great. Anyone complaining about doing “extensive research” on their phone is comical. But for reading cases at night while in law school—it gets the job done. My only complaint is the bright white light hitting the back of my retina at the wee hours while I’m trying to read cases in bed before crashing into my pillow. Dark mode. Please. Thank you. One more time for giggles—Dark mode!! 📚💤.Version: 7.3.0
