I only downloaded this app just to read the citizen section among other things because of a video that's going around. It basically says on the app that only white people can be citizen in the United States. There are also other inaccuracies in the app.

Khr. S. Nov 8, 2018     

This app is very much so racist. This app states that Article 4 1 through 4 states in the Constitution that Aborigines and African Americans and natives are not citizens of the United States which is incorrect the real article 4 1 through 4 is articles based on state information and if people who are criminals so for this article to do this and needs to be removed immediately

I like it, but it needs more defns. like "inevitable discovery."

San. T. Nov 8, 2018     

Not pleased. The authenticity of this dictionary is questionable. App developer- No response needed. I will buy elsewhere.

I looked under the definition for CITIZEN and it basically says if you not white you cannot be considered a citizen of the USA...... Don't know where you got this definition but it is wrong.... smdh 😎

Knowledge is power and this app provides!

Nice for legal dictionary purpose

Lat. Nov 7, 2018     

You're lucky a 1 is the lowest I can rate. I searched "citizen " and affortenaly people of african decent aren't citizens... only white people?? Lol, what a joke. This all is 100% worthless and false, don't quit your day job. This is ridiculous. Maybe you need to educate yourself more before trying to make an app off of opinions of your make believe world you live in.

Ric. B. Jan 3, 2021     

Many more terms than I anticipated.

Leo. G. Mar 17, 2015     

after installing, I searched res gestae. definition jumps to number 2 without showing number 1. also, the words are screaming caps lock it makes you swear your GODD AM MOTHER F UCKER. DO YOU LIKE. CAPS LOCK THAT MUCH? the second word searched is res ipsa loquitur, no entry, but rather the incorrect spelling LOQUITIR. get a job you guys, this one's clearly not for you.

It might be a fantastic app in the United States but it's not fit for purpose here in the United Kingdom and quite frankly should not be showing up in the Playstore if it's "geographically locked" so to speak. If there is a British sister app to this then by all means point it out and I'll happily remove this poor review and award the British app at least 4 * if merited. Might be worth putting some of that legal knowledge to use on Google to get them to make appropriate changes to the Playstore to accommodate apps specific to geographical areas.

Kim. Sep 29, 2015     

First word i searched for was "ground" and it gave me layman's definition - "soil". This was supposed to be a legal dictionary. I hope to see also, legal definitions. If i wanted to know that ground means soil. Then i would've just opened an ordinary dictionary and not a law dictionary. :) hope to see this concern attended to.

Abh. S. May 2, 2017     

I have used it for searching the legal terms as and when required, I must say it's been upto the expectation till now, just hope it is as good as expected

Mos. C. Jan 16, 2015     

Pls fix the sudden closing of the app; where I press the word "accountant" if not this problem I would have rated the app 5stars..

Tar. A. Nov 19, 2014     

Its a very helpful app, specially in remembering keywords during exams. But for improvement it should add section along with definition

Ken. T. Z. X. Dec 26, 2014     

It was a great app for me as a freshman to law. Helped me out to understand many legal terms in a faster and much more conveniet ways. Thanks.

Bha. S. May 15, 2018     

Awesome app found on google play store. Plz add voice listening of words in this app. Which make it further more awesome. Consider this point n reply plz.

win. k. w. s. Nov 23, 2017     

It's such a nice app! I'll definitely introduce this app to my friends! And for people who gave such low ratings without a justified reason, please reconsider them. This app has already wonderful features and it's for free! This app deserves better than a 4.2 overall rating.

I found it very useful especially on my job as a police investigator applying some legal terms in filing cases in court.

ari. z. c. Jun 7, 2016     

for those who have complains, feel free to contact the developer directly (not by shouting here). this app is superb already knowing that you just click "install" and then use it for free. be "just" and fair. even those paid version have flaws (sometimes).

Tam. T. Jan 23, 2016     

I'm excited about using this app. I will have definition at my finger tips. It will definitely be better than googling everything. Thanks for the heads up on older droids. It shows your willingness to help and availability. There's nothing more to ask for.

Pat. B. Sep 16, 2014

Ale. N. Nov 22, 2014     

There are many definitions that are missing. I wish I care enough to find them for you. Thanks for letting me see what you have.

A. G. u. Sep 19, 2017     

I give you 5 stars , and what I asked is : Please show some consideration ,not to me , but to people who gave you 5 stars before me and are happy with your app. I haven't seen a reply at all , so far. Anyway , all the best wishes and good luck !

Amm. Z. May 2, 2015     

Thanks for the app to the creator... If one or two examples in sentences are given on the words then it will help much more helpful..

Jen. E. Mar 8, 2015     

Brilliant free app. Saves dragging around my hard copy of a law dictionary

Lit. A. Feb 1, 2015     

I'm a 3L and have used this app on the go and often while studying to look up new terms for the last two years. This app gives you great legal comprehensive definitions as well as provides practical examples for further understanding of the concepts. It's definitely my favorite.

The developer has indeed made an admirable attempt to explain legal terms and phrases in the light of U.S and English common law. It is at once more concise but more comprehensive in meanings.
