The whole point of using legal research platforms like Lexis is to cite to relevant authorities in your research. Making the app so that the copy citation feature does not work completely defeats the purpose of its intended use and the mobile website is set up just as bad so that you aren’t able to see the citation on screen to be able to copy it. You would think with all the modern tech of AI that we’d at least have an effective mobile version of Lexis out now. I’m extremely disappointed. I would normally choose Lexis over WestLaw for ease of use, but in terms of mobile features, WestLaw has Lexis beat. Lexis can only be effectively used on a computer.

While you can do basic research on the app, you cannot: (i) save to folders, (ii) highlight; (iii) copy citations, and (iv) currently e-mail case or other sources to your self. Supposedly e-mail should be working for me but it isn’t. No one can seem to resolve the issue. No one reaches out. Developers seem to have no interest in making a usable platform with the functionality we need as lawyers. Using Lexis creates overbilling issues and depletes efficiency.

My favorite features of the LexisNexis desktop site are the quick and easy Boolean searches and the quick and easy access to my folders.If the iPad app had these features, the app would be so much more efficient and convenient. I also would like to see my Lexis points, but that’s not a necessity—it would just be nice!

I’m not really sure of the point of having an app that has less features than the calculator on my iPhone. Billions of dollars at Lexis’ disposal and this is the end product? I mean you can’t even access cases saved or click on cases previously searched. Take this app and put it in the garbage where it belongs. Tighten up, Lexis!
