Latest reviews of Code of Virginia app for iPhone and iPad
Context is what I expected needs a more updated interface
This is just what Ive been longing for! The whole Code of Virginia in my pocket. The search function is very good (its not Westlaw or Lexis, but its good enough) and I find myself looking things up all the time that otherwise I might never have bothered to confirm for myself. Two major requests Id have for this application are: (1) there should be an option to have the application automatically remember where I was when I was last using it. Ive been trying to use the application to read through some important Code sections from beginning to end (as if it were an e-book), but every time I change applications and then come back to Code of Virginia, Im back at the opening screen and I have to drill down to get back to where I left off. Sure I could set a bookmark every time I quit the application, but I dont always remember to do that, and furthermore it clutters up the bookmark list. (2) this application should include the Rules of the Supreme Court of Virginia, which legally are part of the Code of Virginia. (See Va. Code sec. 8.01-3.) Thanks!
I got it to use for work and it doesnt have the sections I need in full. Was hoping to be able to have the child abuse and neglect sections in full so I could quote it to clients with out having to carry around a huge binder of the section of the code we use... but guess not. BUT it is good for quick look ups of other facts
Great app to aid in looking up code while working. No Internet needed once loaded. Easy links within code, easy lookup. Wondering about 2010 updates though.
The app is very useful, however it has not been updated in quite a while. The legislature updates the Code of Virginia every year. Some things in this app are out of date. Please update annually!
